Carlyle Holidays from NZ$1,362

Everything was very Good

The shower was absolutely terrible, zero water pressure.

All of the above, I would definitely recommend it to others who travel down south to stay at this hotel.

Good stopover for a trip between Sydney and Melbourne. We booked deluxe twins and the room was huge! Private car port makes it easier to load luggage’s and backyard is enclosed for pet. There’s a fenced off dog park 2.5km away with a beautiful lake but otherwise lots of grassy area around the motel itself for dogs to go toileting. Just next to M31 so no detours needed. Oporto, 7 eleven is just across the road. Very clean room and comfortable beds too. Will use again.

The room is basic but adequate for a quick overnight stop when driving between Sydney and Melbourne. However, we arrived in Wodonga on a 43-degree day, and despite the manager calling an hour prior to confirm our ETA, the north-facing room had not been pre-cooled. Given the extreme heat and confirmed arrival time, having the air conditioning turned on ahead of time would have been a thoughtful and practical touch. The unit struggled to bring the bedroom temperature down, and we didn’t even attempt to cool the kitchen or bathroom areas. The other frustration was the unkept nature strip in front of the room which meant you walked in thorns/burrs into room and they stuck to carpet and were brutal on the feet. I might look at other motels next time. Plus side it is dog friendly for $25 extra + CC fee
