“Good location and value”

Reviewed 22 February 2012

Planning an overnight trip for work, I intended to use at the same motel I stayed at for a similar trip some years ago. However when I came across the Lodge Outback Motel, I discovered that it offered similar features, very close to the other one, and for about $30/night less. I booked one of the queen spa rooms, and... More

We stayed in a newly renovated spa room which was very nice and cosy. Unfortunately the spa wasn't working and reception was closed by the time we'd worked this out. Being the main reason we chose this room we were very disappointed. Otherwise a worthwhile place to stay. More
