Superb. Exceptionally clean room; loads of space in room; large bathroom too; very comfy bed and good quality bedding; sofa; kitchenette and table to eat at; very helpful staff (sorting an issue getting onto wi-fi); useful bits and bobs on sale from reception at very reasonable cost. Only stayed one night but would stay longer.

We liked: The cleanliness of the whole motel and our suite, attention to detail, reasonable cost, friendly staff, and a well cooked breakfast delivered on time. This was all that we needed for a one night stay. It was also next to the diggers club, which was an added bonus. We didn't like (minor issue - we'd happily stay there... More

Well we were not expecting much from a motel but this place surprised us. Stayed in the triple room. Staff were friendly and helpful, room and bathroom was very spacious, free wifi, and fox sports on the flat screen! Everything was clean and well maintained. Didn't have a problem with the parking and it was a short drive to the... More

Stayed for a couple of nights with two kids, good procedure on arrival and aervice minded staff, think it is a couple who run and/or own the lot. Not much of eating facilities but you will find plenty around in the vicinity. Recommended for a shorter stay.

We had a mini fridge in the room, a small coffee table that seats 4, hairdryer and flat iron. Supply of coffee and tea was generous. There was... More

Booked this on basis of Trip Advisor reviews and was not disappointed. Very clean and comfortable as well as reasonably priced. We booked the five bed suite with 3 beds in one room, 1 double bed in another with shared bathroom. Excellent, friendly and great location.

I accidentally booked the incorrect date and turned up a week early but there was no drama they gave me two keys and let me choose my room. The room was immaculate having just been refurbished with comfortable beds, fluffy pillows, crisp white linen, soft towels, new large flat screen tv with Foxtel and the furnishings were tastefully done in...

There are a lot of motels around that charge about $100 a night but it would be hard to find a better place than the Admiral Nelson. It appears to have been recently renovated and everything was fresh and super clean. Big comfortable bed, new TV, microwave etc. The service from reception to housekeeping was very professional and friendly. 10... More
