Kelly's Riverside Motel

It’s not 5 star of course but it is spotlessly clean. We were given unit 10 and the owner when showing us to our motel was pleased as punch to Tyrell us that new carpet and Lino had been laid this morning and we were the first to use and complete with new carpet smell. Shower pressure is good which was a surprise as it is a star mix. TV was a great size and comes with Netflix and full surfing ability. In short I would say, Room was spotlessly clean. Recently refurbished. Good comfortable bed. Good parking. Very good value for money and very helpful and friendly hosts. What more could you ask for!

Very friendly staff. We were running late and rang to let them know we would only be checking in at 11pm. That was no problem for them, they had the room warmed up for us with lights on when we arrives. Clean comfortable bed rooms with kitchenette and shower. Great for short stays. Will stay at Kelly's again for our next visit.

Fantastic hosts who make you feel so welcome even when arriving later in the evening (and leaving early) - location is great with walking distance to main shopping area. This is a basic motel and we were in a studio unit (kitchen, ensuite and bedroom with TV)…we visited in summer for essentially rest overnight during long road trip. Bed was comfortable (more comfortable than expected) - toilet and shower adequate but beware of train noise. We didn’t use the heat pump at all and the room temperature was comfortable however, if this was not summer I would be concerned about the block brick construction and single glaze windows ability to conduct heat. Overall a good choice for short stay base - villas certainly more spacious appearance but as mentioned this was studio stay. Studio kitchen was older but adequate for meal preparation if needed. Also great to have car parking near unit. Our short stay was satisfactory - would recommend for short stay but note train tracks nearby with occasional overnight train noise if you are a light sleeper. Useful also to know is the office access involves a steep ramp and use of steps which may not be great for those with mobility issues.
