Blazing Stump Motel & Suites

We stayed in December 2024, At first Clance to the apartment it looked nice and generally clean and comfortable. Having time to look around unfortunately it was not worth the above $300 mark, the gym room was old and sad and the sauna with no sign was out of order. The chairs in the kitchen had stains on them and bits of paper under the beds from previous quests. The renovations are not completed and not finished off giving the apartment a cheap vibe, the bathroom looked amazing but Apon closer look it was just not cleaned to as we had to give everything another wipe over. The thing is if you put marble fake laminate on everything it will always show marks when the afternoon sunshine on it. Our glasses and cutlery we not cleaned and the kettle i would not drink out of unfortunately. The kitchen back splash with fake marble had been wiped and with a dirty rag that had smudges all over it. The TV was cheap, and the speakers echoed. The basket balls were flat, and the tennis rackets have seen better days. What i found was good about the hotel was its location, close to the motor bike shop and all restaurants. Clearly the relationship of the pub with the hotel is good as it was pushed upon us several times, But the pub is very expensive and not worth value for money

We stopped here for one night on a family road trip- it was clean and comfy. Staff were very nice. The check in process was simple- just a message to my phone with a code for the key box. The kids loved the pool and the breakfast had gluten free options.

Do not believe everything in your room directory. In there, it states that "rooms are serviced daily". NOT TRUE. They can't afford to have staff come and service rooms on Sundays, so rooms are not serviced daily. There are 4 easy access rooms but parking outside those rooms (for people with disabilities) becomes a real issue, especially when management parks their car in front of one of those rooms. The reception staff are welcoming, but management/ownership are quite rude. Try elsewhere.

Bed was comfy, that was it. Cobwebs had been on cornice so long they were black with dust, thread bare carpet in lounge and a lovely big stain in middle carpet, dead cockroaches in sliding door track, only one hanger in wardrobe, stains on net curtain in bedroom, heating vents thick with dust, kitchen blind broken so couldn’t open or close, sign in bathroom said use rubber mat to avoid slipping in and out spa - no mat, black mould on grout in spa area, mirror in lounge dirty.

We made a mistake booking here. Really not our cup of tea. That said, it was clean, comfortable and very convenient. If you enjoy fast food, there’s lots of choice locally. It sits right on the main road and is a short drive to two reasonable sized towns. As far as value for money is concerned, not a bad bet.

We stayed in the Honeymoon suite. This is large, with a giant bathroom and spa bath. The bed is huge and comfortable and there is a kitchenette. An improvement would be a sofa or some comfortable chairs, the only things to sit on were the dining chairs which were hard and uncomfortable. 4/5 Would stay again.
