The Staff were amazing, super friendly, Always smiling happy to chat and help where possible. Very Helpful. Great family environment. The pool was Great, The air con helped you deal with the Heat and humidity. The restaurant and bar served beautiful meals, in a timely manor. The drinks were refreshing and cold, The outdoor section had a fan which was welcoming on hot afternoons. The overall facilities, Washing/drying room were acceptable, The rooms were tidy. Despite next to major highway the rooms were 95% sound proof. and the staff kept rooms nice and tidy daily.

No complaints for this Beautiful Motel.

Parking is right outside your door. There’s a back yard with a chair and chairs in the front of your room as well. The air con was good. The king spa was great as well. The bed was ok and it was a clean place. Toaster and iron/board were in the cupboard. Two hangers were in the wardrobe. Could have had 2 more. It’s also closer to the airport and it has a bar and grill restaurant on site. Check in was a breeze. Food was beautiful. There’s a microwave and a hat

The backyard could have had a table so people can eat outside instead of eating in your bar and grill restaurant which was quite expensive. The cleaners came to clean our place and binned the 2 paper cups we had for our coffee. They should have replaced it but they didn’t. It would have been great to have a couple of coffee mugs, plates cutlery just so that people can bring takeAway and eat there. We were only given 1 bigger towel and 2 small ones. We checked in at about 6 and I asked the girl if we could check out a little bit later but she said no. The soap dispenser ran out on the first night and no one came to change it.

Did not have breakfast but the dinner was excellent. Friendly and professional staff. Have previously stayed at Abacus Motel and the facilities have been improved. Happy to find a motel that supports people travelling with pets.

Nil significant issues identified. Travelled with a pet and while appreciating the enclosed outdoor area it was not suitable in the heat. No shade and the bricks became very hot with a burn risk to paws. This is not a showstopper as I would stay in these facilities again but a consideration only to improve pet experience as well.

We honestly were blown away by all the little touches in the property which helped make our stay so enjoyable. down to the car window wash outside all rooms after driving for hours we badly needed it! the takeaway cups were super handy for our coffee to go at 4am the next morning. the private courtyard at the back of the room was probably the best idea I’ve ever seen for a motel when you have a dog with you it made staying so stress free just to be able to let him out without having to actually leave your room but not worry about him getting away somehow :)

There is honestly nothing I can fault the rooms, beds, location was brilliant and more then we expected.

Great initial reception experience. Restaurant open and offering a good menu selection at reasonable rates.Thoughtful adding the cheese plate when you arrive. Good room facilities and also smart leaving the tick box for what had been done.

The crackers were stale on the cheese plate. Maybe wrap them separately in cling wrap.

The room was very clean and well stocked. The property was in a easy to find location and had plenty of off street parking. i stayed in a pet friendly room with my two cats and the property provided what was needed to clean up after them and also a little out doors area.

i can not fault this property. it provided everything i needed for my stay and the staff were very friendly and helpful. i would defiantly stay again if i am in the area.

Welcomed on arrival with a lovely cheese platter. Rooms are well appointed and comfortable and the little things like having a windscreen squeagy out front of each room, clearly shows they care about guests. Dinner in the restaurant was very nice. The staff also made me a take away breakfast as I was leaving early next morning. Very customer focused. Highly recommend

Tasty food at the restaurant. Very happy with staff at welcome/check in. always polite and helpful.
