Casa Nostra Motel
The accommodation is fine so far, but unfortunately our expectations after reading the excellent reviews were not all confirmed. General cleanliness could be better and the condition of some equipment is unacceptable. However, with a little effort the deficiencies could be eliminated.

Capricorn Motel & Conference Centre
Check in was great, very friendly. The room was spotlessly clean and looked great, good amenities too. Only downside is air con only just managed to take the heat out of the room,certainly not cool and mattress could do with replacing- not comfortable
