Homley accommodation and amazing host, what more could you ask for!
Had everything you needed for a motel stop over. Great gardens and ideal location to visit the Billabong Sanctuary!

Older property but quaint atmosphere
It was quiet and the staff member was very pleasant.
There was no place to eat and we had to drive 15 minutes to the nearest food outlet. The bathroom was a bit dated.
