New England Motor Lodge

Booked 2 nights (Sunday & Monday) in a King Room for $226/night & this includes breakfast. Good check in & we were allocated Room 5. The complex is single storey with car parking at the entrance to the room. First impressions about the room weren't great. It is quite small & dark. I got the window open, lifted the blind & opened the access door. There is 1 easy chair & 1 luggage stand & a bench with 2 upright chairs. From there things got better. Air con is provided as are electric blankets. We didn't need them, but nice to have though. Wifi is very fast & can be relied upon. The alcove has a bar fridge, microwave toaster kettle crockery cutlery. Washing up detergent is provided but there is no sink, just a hand basin in the ensuite. The bar fridge has a selection of drinks, incl bottled water, all having a price tag. The king size bed is comfortable & the room was quiet even though it backs onto an outside seating area for the restaurant. The ensuite is small with an openable window, walk in shower, squeazy toilettries on the wall. The room is serviced daily with new towels, bed made, rubbish taken out. Thank you, much appreciated. Our package included breakfast each morning. Its served in the restsurant from 7-9 am. We really enjoyed that & thought it very good value & well prepared. It included orange juice, yogurt & fresh fruit, eggs done the way you choose with bacon or smoked salmon & coffee or tea. Very generous portions too. Overall our 2 nights accommodation & breakfast represented good value in a quiet comfortable room with a great breakfast. The room was just a bit small. If you stay here I recommend you get the bed & breakfast package, particularly if you enjoy an excellent, generous breakfast.

The rack of lamb combined with the veg I love (fussy eater), was simply devine. Then to top it off with a Kahlua infused affogato, took the meal to the next level. Add in the atmosphere and the awesome service from very professional staff. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for creating an experience and a memory that will last with me for a long time.

Pleasantly surprised with the room - spacious, comfortable and clean. Close to everything and very friendly services.
