Having had many pleasant stays at the motel over the years, we were disappointed and saddened to see how the present ownership/management has run the place down. Expecting to have a pleasant afternoon by the pool there were no umbrellas or any shade at all, the pool was unfiltered, the cushion all torn and all the chairs needed replacing. The grass above the pool was a snake haven and the litter outside our room has not been swept for ages if at all. Forget the fact that we were woken by someone pounding on our door asking us to move our car so they could empty an industrial bin, and our room was meteres away from worken on the roof that all pales into insignifiance compared to the rude and hostile reception my wife received when she dared to complain. She was told "We don't need guests like you." Clare does not need people like thin in the hospitality industry. I notice they are still advertising award the won in 2017. None since! Don't waste you monet booking this place there are many cheaper places and better places to stay.…

I stayed here for a family gathering a week ago. The rooms were clean but a little outdated. Has everything you need, fridge and microwave etc.. I saw a few black dots on the white sheets but put that down to more bugs in the country and wiped them off my bed. However on the second morning I realised those little bugs had been having a feast overnight… and I was the main course. I flew home to Perth that afternoon and straight to the GP for medication for over 70 bed bug bites. The motel manager refused to accept any responsibility but I think they did at least clean out that room. Hopefully the next guests don’t have the same issue and it was a one off. The health authorities assured me they did an inspection so all good. I won’t post the pics of the bugs I videod or my bites as it would put everyone off their dinner. Safe travels. …

Room Tip: Great for a one night stay. Check for bed bugs, although most people were ok after our trip.

Great motel to stay in. Back 50 years ago we stayed here and revisited again for a celebration. We were welcomed by Sapi and Japi (The owners) who we already knew. The room was excellent in very clean, size, location. The breakfast was enough for the two of us for 2 days. Recommend this motel.

Reasonable value for money. Do not expect luxury. The furnishings were basic but serviceable. The section we stayed in was an older besser brick building with little architectural appeal. However, it was reasonably spacious with a large bathroom and small kitchenette. The shower was good and there were a couple of good sized mirrors. It seemed clean although on checking beneath the beds on leaving to check for belongings, it was clear that it had not been cleaned properly. The book advertises electric blankets so on the second night we searched and found them well hidden under the mattress. They worked. The very old heater also worked very well. The motel could do with updating but it has some strong features. We were pleased to have a guest laundry and for $5 you can wash and $5, dry. Very welcome on our travels.…

We have stayed here before and it was always very nice. Unfortunately standards have slipped considerably since our last stay. The restaurant has been closed which being some distance out of town is inconvenient. The room was not particularly clean. We will stay somewhere else next time.

Stayed in the 3 bedroom ‘apartment’ which was a dilapidated house. Carpet hadn’t been cleaned since it was laid decades ago, walls were flaking and badly scuffed, and apart from the beds, the furniture and wall hangings looked like they all came from thrift shops. Can’t believe the owners charge money for people to stay there. We wanted to cancel our second night as we simply didn’t want to be there but of course there was no refund. Would not recommend staying there!!

Stayed one night midweek. Set on a hillside, overlooking the valley, it is 5 mins drive into the centre of Clare. Spacious, quiet, clean, comfortable. Very well equipped, but bathroom needs renovating. On-site parking at door, outdoor pool, guest laundry. Good free wi-fi, flat screen TV. Friendly and helpful staff.
