We have a reception at the motel but it is not staffed all day. Someone is usually on site and we are always a phone call away for any queries or difficulties getting into your room. We now have an easy self check in system so check in is fast and reliable. Excellent for late check ins.
Can I park at the motel?
Parking is available out the front of your room on Cahill St & Golden Four Drive. There is a 4hr limit from 9am to 5pm meaning you can park from 1pm til 1pm the following day without incurring any parking limits. If you are staying longer, you would need to move the car through the day. Check with reception if you are uncertain or have any queries.
Can I check in if I arrive on an early flight?
Check in is at 2:00pm. If pre-arranged, we can have your room ready earlier. Early check-ins are subject to availability.
