If you want glitz and glamor, this is not for you. It is a basic Budget Motel. The surprise is with the unbelievable attention to detail by the owners, who incidentally are extremely friendly. It is very clean, comfortable, spacious and warm. Needed for Ballarat. The surprises were:- Microwave Toaster European shower Great toilet paper Four types of coffee Four... More

I stayed here with my baby daughter simply because it was the closest motel to where I had to be. For the price I paid, I was not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. The room was not modern or pretty by any means but it was very clean, the linen was nice and the bathroom had nice towels and... More

We ended up booking this motel because we wanted for 5 people under the same roof. There were no other motels available at that time. Moreover prices were very reasonable. It's slightly off the CBD, however Safeways, McDonalds etc are within 5 minutes reach by car, Owners are good. Rooms are fine and comfortable.

This is one of those regional motels with exposed red brick walls. I was a little shocked when I opened the front door and was faced with the sink at the other end of the room. It's outside of the bathroom and made the room look a bit hodge-podge. The furniture and decor was very dated but all appliances (coffee... More

Thank you for a nice, warm, comfortable, clean and well furnished room. My firend was pleased. The breakfast was good too. Keep it up! And keep your tariff competitive until you can come up to No. 10 on TripAdvisor and then can increase your rate a bit more once people know you are value for money.

Stayed in a family room, which had a separate room with 2 beds (and its own flat screen TV!) for the kids. An older motel, but attentively refurbished, comfortable, very well equipped (microwave, tea & coffee making, electric blankets, iPod dock, Blu-ray/DVD player, 2 flat screen TVs) and spotlessly clean. About 5 minutes out of town and away from the... More
