“Prefect for a stop off. Clean, comfy close to town. Nice staff. Really what more could you want.”
“Great motel. Room was clean and bed comfy. We arrived with no booking and they were very kind to us and provided good service. Thanks guys!”
“Came into Ararat at midnight and rang for a room, they answered their phone quiet quickly and had a lovely room that was available. Very nice room, the bed was comfortable and even had an electric blanket ( bonus for the aching bones). A lovely big shower and very clean toilet. The microwave was very new looking unlike some places where the microwave doesn't work. A lovely garden just outside the door to sit and have a morning coffee. I would recommend this place to friends and family. Lovely service, great location, very clean and tidy. I'd stay here again.”
“This establishment deserves a 7-star rating. Everything is amazing about this place. The rooms are very modern, spacious and extremely clean with modern facilities and appliances. The owners are very friendly and responsive. They genuinely care about customer service and customer satisfaction. Will come here again and again. Highly recommended. Rates are very reasonable considering the festive Christmas season. It is also in a very prime location close to the city centre and shops.”
“We found this motel perfect for our needs. We have a Tesla and the owners were so accommodating with providing access to the charger. The aircon was great on a very hot night. The rooms were so well equipped for road trippers with cutlery, bowls and microwave. Near enough to Woolworths, the Main Street & the lovely Alexandra Gardens. Great rainhead shower and fresh, clean bathroom. Lovely outside patio tables in garden with play equipment. We will stay again on our next trip through to Adelaide! Thank you.”
