5.0/5
We loved it there!
A good break on the road, perfect for a night of confort in your campervan. Friendly, hassle-free reception.
The kitchen is very well equipped and perfectly clean. It has a good heater which makes the room confortable after a few minutes. The toilet / bathroom were perfectly clean too.
You can pay an extra to use a gigantic washing machine and dryer, within 2 hours you have 15kg of clean laundry 😃.
Just don’t plan to refill your water tank here as water isn’t drinkable in Ward so it has to be boiled.

New owners made an effort and it looks great. Very friendly and helpfull!! They own the place just over a year so old reviews don’t apply!

We stayed at a powered campsite for 1 night.
Spacious and nice campsite and the amenities were absolutely clean! Great hot shower. Kitchen is very complete and clean. The owners are very friendly. They provided great tips around the area and the even gave us an warm blanket because we told them we were about to get one. Highly recommend this place!

This motel caters for max 4 campers.
There are 2 powered sites and 2 to 3 unpowered sites. For $40 we got a very spacious clean shower, clean toilet, immaculate kitchen with all the appliances, a washing line and (although we did not use it) the possibility to use the washing machine. To top it all the owners are very nice folk. Very helpful. We went to Ward beach bought fresh greens at the local organic farm on the way down and generally had a very relaxing time.

We spent our Maiden voyage in our self contained pop top campervan.
Amasing place small and very clean well equipped kitchen. Shower has the most amasing pressure. Very friendly. Only complaint was the road noise but thats what you get on a main highway and can't be helped. Was a great first experience and would recommend to all.

Absolutely nice place and also nice people.
Accommodation is « spic and span » ( very very clean)
You can hire a room, and they have 2 powered places for little campervans.
Bit noisy due the road, but we were so tiered that even this noise didn’t batter us

We wanted to stay with a tent, but the site is very close to the highway.
Nice cosy place with good and clean facilities. Ideal if you stay in a room or with a camper van. Not so much with a tent due to the noise of the highway.
