A nice room, mostly clean (hairs on the vanity). The shower was scalding hot or freezing cold and was not able to be adjusted in-between. So, no shower after a long day of travel.

Didn't have any wine glasses for the girl so she bought 6 for $ 4 at the shop next to Vinnies, just thought that wine glasses would be a standard in every room ?

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The unit was spacious with a separate bedroom with two single beds and a small bath in addition to the shower. The location was ideal with just a short walk to the shopping area. Some maintenance is required. A door on the cupboard under the washbasin almost fell off when opened. Breakfast was supposed to be included, according to the website, but we were told on arrival that no breakfast was available.

Such a wonderful motel

Such a wonderful motel to stay in for a quick trip to Castlemaine! It was so cozy, modern, clean and comfortable, and had all the necessities such as a kettle, hairdryer, soap, etc! Checking in and out was so easy, and the staff were so kind and welcoming to us. Breakfast was kindly handed to us the night before! Would really recommend this motel, it was perfectly in the centre of town

Having stayed at this accommodation in the past and had a very enjoyable experience. Booked for 3 nights again which was to include breakfast. On arrival was told they didn't do breakfast anymore, asked for a refund for the breakfast I had paid for, but was ignored. 1st day we asked for the room to be cleaned as on our return in the afternoon nothing had been done. on the 2nd Day we gave. The bed was comfortable but the rest of the room was in a very poor state of needing repairs. Would never here again

Perfectly adequate but not special. Physically cold on arrival. Basic accommodation. Not charming or special, but very nice spa bath, and when you figure out how the heater works, somewhat cosy.

Pleasant experience! I was hesitant due to some of the reviews - however it was clean and tidy and comfortable! A little run down but did the job for our overnight stay. Staff were lovely.
