It was conveniently located for us. We were attending an event at the aquatic centre. I had a car so I could drive to and from. There were shops just next to motel.

“Very happy with our choice of a “cheap and cheerful” motel for one night’s stay in the beautiful city of Ballarat.”
Kirrily, the acting manager was so warm and friendly. She made us feel very welcome. The room was a basic room with all we needed for a one night stay. It was clean and tidy and quiet. Excellent value for money.

“Excellent location and price”
Easy checkin, the bed was very comfortable and on the soft side, lots of power points throughout for charging things, the shower/hot water/pressure was the best I have come across in many years of travelling! It was very clean, and towels etc changed daily. Overall, amazing for the price and location.

The beds were comfortable and the pillows were decent too. It was great to get a small bottle of real milk for our tea instead of UHT.
