I have stayed here multiple times over the last 10 years but this was the first time in the last 5 years. Although the rooms could have a refresh, the motel has everything I need. Easy access to a supermarket, restaurants, and shopping, Each room has a kitchen to cook meals (microwave and oven) and the rooms are spacious. A nice touch in winter is the electric blankets on the beds.

Regret booking to stay 10 - 13 March (3 x nights). Only very basic service provided each day and communication from the staff was difficult. The motel feels in many areas like it has not been upgraded since it was originally built in the 1970s. Carpet was also lifting in some areas presenting a trip risk / hazard. Request for at least 1 x night refund for my inconvenience / poor experience.

Terrible. We actually wondered if this has been used for cooking P. Had a very distinctive, sour chemical smell and we had bad headaches. Place felt like it needed a very good clean, and was very shabby and tired. Good sized rooms and well located. The pool wasn't really useable - apparently they tried to limit numbers so you had to ask permission to use it - but it looked filthy so we avoided it. Not a great place to stay as a family and wouldn't recommend it to women travelling alone. Wondered if it was being used for emergency housing. Expensive and wouldn't stay here again.

The room was the right size for my needs. The service at the front counter was very professional and polite. The service staff were very polite and efficient. Highly recommended this motel

We particlarly enjoyed the spaciousness of our room and the comfortable kingsize bed. Great shower too. We had chosen Dilomat for is proximity to Southern Eye Hospital so the above factors were definitely a bonus
