Very good value for money. It’s not The Ritz, but it does everything it needs to. The wifi speed is excellent, ditto the water pressure. I would certainly stay there again.

Older style motel just out of Swan Hill. Impeccably clean and fabulous service for after hours arrival. On main road so a little noisy at night due traffic

A good find
The motel had everything that we required for a 2 night stay including a kitchen (if you needed more things) Comfortable, clean and a very friendly helpful host. A bit out of town but with a car it was not a problem

The staff were fantastic straight from the start and continued to be so for the rest of the week. Only a few minutes drive to town with a unique paint scheme on the outside it was easy to find on your way back. Well priced it was a great place to stay and I hope to have a chance to stay again.

We opted for a hotel with reasonable rates and were fully aware it is on a main road. We were not expecting all the extras like luxury large soft towels, a comfortable sofa, crockery with plates and bowls and wine glasses and cutlery in our room and a fully equipped and immaculately kept guest kitchen complete with stovetop and microwave. Extra pillows and blankets were already in the room and the tea and coffee supplies included biscuits which is not always the case these days. The outdoor pool is a bonus in good weather. We will definitely stay again.
