Facilities at the Sovereign Park include a large indoor heated pool, sauna and spa pool. Guests can exercise in the fitness centre, or play a game of tennis at the indoor half-court. There is also a large enclosed children's playground.

This hotel is an absolute hidden gem. I cannot believe what a great hotel it is. For families, it would have to be one of the best hotels that I have seen and such good value. The family room was large with 4 beds. There was a sitting area and kitchenette. The facilities though are the best part of this property. There is a free of charge laundry with washing powder, a games room, indoor tennis court, gym, sauna and incredible indoor heated pool and spa. Absolutely fantastic for families.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. We were located close to the pool. Lots of space for the kids to run around. Would of liked a BBQ area as it is challenging to head out for dinner with a bunch of tired and wild children.

    I was really impressed with this motel. It is very clean, huge room, big bathroom, comfy bed, kitchenette and modern (fresh white paint, clean new carpet). They let me have early checkin which was amazing. The service station next door has a lot of good food, healthy options too. Conveniently located near Soverign Hill. Highly recommend.

    The motel was located better than I expected. There are some great places to eat nearby and by the recommendation of the person who checked me in, we ate at the Red Lion. Sovereign Hill was just up the road.

    We stayed there for one night only on the way from South Australia. It's located very close to the Western Highway, which was convenient in our case. Even though we were so close to it, the noise wasn't an issue. The motel is clean, everything in our room looked pretty new.. Good value for money.
