A really comfortable bed and room. Unfortunately it’s a Monday so no restaurant to eat at. In fact the whole town was closed and we had to go into the IGA supermarket to get some provisions.

A comfortable, quiet and clean motel next to the park. We stayed in Tumbarumba to do the rail trail which we really enjoyed. The motel is located close to the bike hire shop and not far from start of the rail trail.

Lovely accommodation in Tumbarumba with a comfortable bed. Limited mini bar was a nice touch and we really appreciated the generous bottle of real milk for our cuppas. The main attraction for us, was to have a restaurant on site. The quality of food and service surprised us and we had an amazing meal accompanied by a lovely local wine. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely and very attentive staff. Highly recommend.

The weather was about -2 at night but the room heater was way too hot at night. Turned heater down as low as it could go. In the middle of night had to open the door to cool room down.Had so little sleep due to over heating in the room.

A good comfortable motel. The restaurant was fabulous for dinner. The only two minor points were no irons or ironing boards in rooms with a pretty arduous option to go and iron in the laundry room and just one pillow per person in the room. For the price we paid I would expect these things to be provided. Other than that all was very good.

Reasonable for price and location.

Its is a country motel, some bugs around and they don't tell you the bug spray is under the sink. Pretty thin walls too. Pictures make it look nicer than it is but still reasonable for the price and location.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed here. The room is good and clean, staff helpful and friendly. My only concern is the style of shower (like a lot of places) they have the shower with no step / shower pan. So when you shower, it makes the floor wet. I know it makes it easy for cleaning, but to me it's slightly annoying - more so if it was autumn / winter. Over all, nice motel!!
