Our choice in Echuca

We stay here each time we visit Echuca. It's a brisk walk from shops, cafes, restaurants. But very quiet at night. We choose it because the reception is always exceptionally friendly & accommodating. Guaranteed cleanliness, comfortable bed & convenience if location & price.

Best cooked breakfast 😁

Hosts were some of the best I’ve seen, couldn’t do enough for us. And the cooked breakfast delivered to the room each morning was absolutely superb and probably the best value I’ve had in a long time. Older motel but very clean and tidy, and well maintained. Highly recommend, great value.

this motel was exactly what we wanted. A convenient Echuca overnight stay which didnt cost a fortune and was clean and comfortable and well maintained. It is an older motel. The staff were lovely and I especially liked getting some fresh milk for tea and coffee. Many much fancier motels only give you the options of the packaged long life milk. We appreciated our comfortable stay there!
