Decent accommodation for travelers on a budget looking for a place to park, rest and sleep. Cost is pretty good but the motel is quite old and in need of a refresh. Large bed was a bit soft, but pillows were nice. Overall, would I say there again for a one or two day visit, probably yes, especially at the price!

The accommodation is an older style Motel, which is now a little dated. The rooms and linen were clean, and the rubbish bin in the room was emptied each day. Location was fabulous, located right in the central district of Bairnsdale, only a short walk to St Mary's Church and the central shopping strip. There were numerous choices of restaurants and take-away shops nearby to satisfy most tastes. Would happily stay there again.

We loved our stay. Reception was helpful, price was great, close to everything and everything. Didn’t have to take the car anywhere as everything was close by and could take a stroll to get there. (From supermarkets to fast food, restaurants, to petrol station) The shower was great we didn’t have any problems like other place we have stayed. Didn’t go hot and cold all the time, it stayed the same temp. The place was quite clean, didn’t see any dog hair and the place didn’t smell of dog. It looked like it was dog friendly too as other guests had dogs in their rooms. It looked like there was a bbq that guest could use as well. Just if I had to pick anything would be the wifi wasn’t the greatest
