We loved staying here. Units were clean tidy and comfortable, water pressure was out the gate. Its pet friendly which was a big draw card for us. The only thing we didn't like was parking. The driveway was extremely narrow and parking at times could be congested and challenging. The hosts were friendly and welcoming and we would be happy to reccomend The Northcote Motor Lodge to all travellers. We will be back💕🐾

Our stay was great, room was clean, quiet and the bed was comfortable. The only issue was that it was a particularly hot afternoon / evening and there was no heat pump for air conditioning. That would have been nice but the fan did an OK job. Will stay again for sure.

Good stay

12 night stay on business, so was good to have a decent sized room. Was able to park my trailer so that’s always a big tick. Location was good for where we needed to travel to each day. A couple of negatives - there were some dirty dishes in the cupboard on our arrival. You have to clean your dishes when you leave, so maybe the staff should check them before the room is booked again. The hotel is on a reasonably busy road so a lot of traffic noise when the door is open, so had to close it when watching tv, talking on phone etc. No aircon so made it really uncomfortable with the current summer heat. No sky, which wasn’t a biggie. Internet seemed to slow right down around 10pm every night.
