These quaint cabins are spectacularly clean with modern quality appliances. A perfect nights sleep in a secluded but convenient location. Try the The Cow Shed Restaurant! Never thought to find that good a dining experience in a little town like that.

No toiletries provided in the bathroom. No air conditioning. One reading light did not work. A bit of a problem with payment being taken out of our account twice which, by pure good luck, we found. Manager very friendly though. A bit overpriced for what it was. Average hotel, just ok.

Loved the location. Wonderful views and lots of interesting places to look at in Murchison. There was a Hang Gliding Regatta going on there during our short stay and we met some neat people while staying at the Motel.

We had to wash dishes in a small hand basin. There was only a shower curtain. Only two overhead lights. One in the living area and 1 in the bathroom. We had a wardrobe door key to our room which shows its age. This room was definitely not value for money. The heater was on which was a plus but why not turn the fridge on. Very disappointed with this accommodation
