The motel is located a little away from the main road so it was quiet and an easy stroll to the main street of town where there were choices for an evening meal ##### Edward Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon 2 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Electric blanket.

We have stayed in many motels to be able to compare. It seemed to be newly renovated with a large bathroom and shower. Very tastefully done with great colours. The bed was comfortable with electric blankets keeping us warm from very cold nights. The main room was big with a lovely bay window. Over the road is a shopping centre with all your needs. Just a short walk around the corner and we were in the Main Street of Ararat. Staff were very friendly and check in was easy. Each of our three day stay, the staff replaced our towels for fresh dry ones and generally cleaned our room. All in all a great experience. Will definitely stay here on next visit to see family. ##### Rose Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Donna 6 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The accommodation was pretty good, bigger than I expected. Fiancè and I really liked it. The town itself isn't that great. Very strange. Liked the accommodation but won't come back for a while as we weren't fans of the town itself ##### Donna Verified ### 8/10 Good #### John 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overall good - but... Room was recently renovated, but there were some "attention to details" blunders, with grout on the bathroom floor tiles not having been polished off and some decidedly amateurish cutting-in to the bathroom doorframe and below the mirror over the vanity. The new front-door also had a 15mm gap beneath, so will be extremely draughty in winter. Room was clean and comfortable overall. We stayed here previously in Jan 2023 and were disappointed that the swimming pool is no longer in use. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter and Maxine 13 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellent - comfortable room in a convenient location. ##### Peter and Maxine Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darryl 6 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Motel was fine.
