Excellently-priced motel, close to the Main Street of Warrnambool. Clean, well-appointed room with nice, modern, spacious bathroom. Easy off-street parking and surprisingly quiet rooms, given proximity to the highway. Booking process easy and after hours check in not an issue. Staff very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
