We had stayed at Bandicoot Motor Inn for one night in their Family room as last minute decision while travelling from Adelaide to Melbourne. The check-in was easy and the room was clean. Though it was a short stay, I wanted to leave just after few hours, had an eerie feel to the place. There was a particular smell in the room as it seems it was closed for a long time and even the air condition wasn’t in the room were the main bed was. Our side of the rooms are close to the highway, though not a busy road but still noisy when any car passes.

Only one night there, but pleasant and clean rooms, quiet setting, lovely hot shower, delicious dinner in the restaurant and absolutely no fuss booking in and leaving. Plenty of grounds for an after dinner stroll under a full moon.

This is a fairly old motel that offers a basic, cheap, clean option for short stays. Check in is easy and the staff are friendly. The towels are clean and the water is good pressure and temperature. Tea and coffee provided, along with the complimentary biscuits.

There was an electric blanket on the bed - this is a plus - I hate getting into a cold bed. Everything was clean and tidy. The tea and coffee facilities were good, there's a microwave in the room and a decent split-system aircon/heater. Nice lights in the room and above the bed. All good.

I spent one night here in June. Everything was in good order and clean. I slept well and staff were friendly. Only small problems were the batteries didnt work in the TV remote but i could still operate the TV. The electric kettle stopped working but staff member got me another kettle.

Reception staff (Owner) friendly and helpful. website says breakfast available, it was not. No in-house dining at all. Beds weren't made although requested just towels changed. A little too pricey for what was on offer - noisy mini friedge which woke us up very early. Bathroom extractor extremely noisy. Place looks dated and in need of an overall upgrade.

The price was OK. It was basic but comfortable. The TV did not receive all the channelss. You would go onto a channel and you could hear the start of the program but then it would stop. Only a few channels worked properly.

The oldest Motor Inn from the 1960s has a huge potential as a destination in its own right. Just need to restore it to original condition (eg. do away with the 90s colonial revival lace & federation colours)
