Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We booked 2 rooms for our family for a quick overnight stay passing through the area. This was by far the cheapest option. The motel was very basic, but very clean and the beds were comfortable giving everyone a good nights sleep. Some of the pillows were a little old but there was enough provided to provide choice. What made this place above the average was it was clearly run by honest down to earth people who just want to give you value for money with a touch of the old fashioned service. The biscuits provided with your tea and coffee is rarely seen these days. Real milk for your coffee and even bottled cold water in the fridge are clear signs they care for their guests more than how much they can make from you. It was refreshing to stay knowing you were supporting good honest people and not some franchise focused on the bottom line.

Location of the motel was ideal, being within short walking distance of Services Club, hotel and restaurants. Our room was clean, comfortable and with the brick internal walls, there was no noise from adjoining rooms. Will definitely stay there again when next in Laurieton.

Very comfortable, low cost room, and a decent sized television. Even supplied bowls, plates and cutlery. Mark was very helpful with my Expedia and Agoda problem. Finally got a refund sorted, after a double booking problem.

A reasonably priced motel in Laurieton, in the central position. A great area with the twin towns of Laurieton and North Haven offering beaches, estuary and lake. The motel is in close proximity to numerous and varied restaurants, tavern and services club. Your hosts Mark and Rhonda are very friendly and helpful. Laurieton is a short distance off the highway so the motel is a great place for stop over or a longer stay.

Very welcoming and kind people, good knowledge of the local area. And the rooms we're clean comfortable for me and my family. The shops and restaurants 200m down the road was very convenient and the small complex made it a very quite stay.
