Sonja is very welcoming and extremely helpful with local information and helping to book local services. Rooms are very clean and comfortable in quiet surroundings. Location is nicely on the outskirts of town, close to the river but within an easy stroll to the lively town centre. Rates are very reasonable.

Older style cabin-type accommodation. Spotlessly clean. Comfy beds. Nice doonas. Very handy location. Friendly and helpful owners. They also were happy to accommodate our Maltese dog who always travels with us.

Very nice owners, we had 3 adults and 3 children stay in a family unit. Unit was outdated which we knew about, but comfortable. Nice pllows and duvets.There was quite a bit of road noise through the night especially heavy trucks. Children slept well though. Rates very reasonable.

came across this motel at 11 PM, desperate for a place to stay for the night - and this was such a great find! great vibe in these little cottages, vintage radio, tiles, lots of space, and, uh, a trampoline and swingset in the yard? it's a really unique spot, affordable, and nice folks.

Myself and three friends stayed three nights at Acacia park and were blown away by the scenery and the helpfullness of the staff at the motel. Nothing was too much trouble.

Thanks for your feedback much appreciated ...but then our happy guests don't have to spend their precious time surfing the net to bad mouth establishments, as they tell others verbally which is of much value to us.

We booked this motel based on their own website information which turned out to be far from what we found.The units had potential to be made into acceptable accommodation but the owners of 4 years appeared not to want to upgrade from what our fellow guests described as " Back packer " standard.Their website quoted daily rates of $130 for...

Hi and so sorry to hear now that you were unhappy. Trust me if you had brought it to my attention, I would have personally sorted it all out. I took over in March of 2011 and we have done so much already in re-vamping the units, furnishings, linen, gardens etc. You also don't mention sleeping on Pure White, Clean,... More

From arrival until departure we had booked in 6 adults well in advance. The unit was tiny boasting 1 set of bunks, 2 beds pushed together, 1 queen in separate bedroom. Each bed had electric blankets but some couldn't reach the nearest plug. 300mls of milk per day - asked for a 2nd 1 consequently no milk on day 2.... More

Management did inform you of the bed layout plan. You were wanting "As cheap as possible" accommodation and only wanted to pay $30-$35 per person per day. Please be advised that this would be more like a Backpackers rate or Student Group rate. Should you have paid for another unit and not wanted to go with budget - then your... More

We stayed here with family to attend a combined function. Bookings were made by a family member who was organizing things. When we arrived at this motel, I first thought we had the wrong place..... the description of the place ( iphone while my Husband drove) was completely outrageous.

I think the first review must have the wrong motel! We are really easy going and just wanted somewhere basic and the motel grounds look cute, but other than that it was a waste of time and money. We booked out the whole motel for our friend family and us for two nights so you'd think that would put us... More
