"The shower was horrible, no water pressure at all it was literally a dribble. Took around 40 minutes to get the temperature right and had to leave it on so 4 people could get in one after another. Same issue with the room next door."
"We appreciated the renovated bathroom with space (big drawers) to store toilet bags etc and a reasonably sized room. We were able to conveniently park directly outside our room which was handy for unpacking and packing. Like all Motels in the town, the Azalea Motel is very close to the highway, and those trucks roll through the town 24 hrs a day! When viewing the pictures on hotels.com, be aware that no food is served any more, and the garden is nowhere near as well kept as shown (April 2026) - although I did enjoy spotting a few different birds enjoying the nectar from a large callistemon in the garden."
"My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The location is definitely off the beaten track and so peaceful. The staff were super friendly and we enjoyed the cafe, the pottery studio, pool, animal feeding, walking tracks. Some things like toasters, BBQ, could do with an upgrade 😉"
"Power points in room are about 1.5 meters above floor level making it impossible to have cords long enough to charge phone, ipad, watch or battery pack
Staff did not know wifi code and another staff member wasnt sure of code for guests level 1 and the code he gave it to try didnt work"
