Elms Motor Inn

upon arrival the cleaner was managing the property as the owners were away for a few days. (this is peak summer holiday period) she couldn’t be nicer or more accommodating on a difficult day for me. The room was more than large enough and very clean. Had lots of ammenities and resources available to make our stay comfortable. The beds were comfortable and we were able to block out the last of daylight saving light with blockout curtains. The location was excellent and we could walk to everything we needed especially a lovely afternoon by the river.

nothing to say here

Scrupulously clean, very quiet, welcomingly warm motel. And the weather was very cold and wet during my stay. Generously sized rooms. I was in room 1, closest to the road, but there was no traffic noise because the owner's residence is between the street and the 10 units. Short stroll to the main street. Best thing about this motel, and I've stayed in a lot of motels up and down the east coast, is that this one is an almost perfectly preserved time capsule of a 1970s small family run country motel, right down to the exposed brick walls, nouveau federation bathroom tiles and light fittings and [most importantly] the breakfast serving hatch is still there - but now sadly disabled. Original laminates, Caroma tap fittings and the tongue and groove pine feature wall complete the time warp. It's wonderful! If anyone from the National Trust is looking to preserve some Aussie heritage this is the place. If you remember the great days of country motels from 50 years ago and want to share this authentic experience with your (grand)children, then you must stay here. Tumut town is large enough to have a choice of several good hotels for meals and a few good coffee shops also. And a unique broom factory. You need to stay more than one night to soak up the ambience. And yes, the town has elm trees, too. Very big elm trees.

The commercial buildings both sides are vacant at the moment. But don't be put off. It means no noise for the motel.

*Located walking distance to main street, cafes & places to eat. *Comfortable beds & the best, hottest shower. *Providing a kettle, toaster & microwave was very appreciated.

*Some of the other guests warming their car up for 5-10 minutes at 5-6am right outside the bedroom window. Many were very considerate and immediately moved their car to the street to warm up but we still had a couple inconsiderate guests. Not the fault of the owner or manager though.

Elms Motor Inn provided excellent accommodation in Tumut with every need well provided. Little touches like light switches and electrical sockets by the bedside made this motel exceptional, especially at a very reasonable price compared with many others. Eating nearby is very good in the Oriental Hotel. I tried and left elsewhere, but here I had friendly service and nice meals, and it's very close to the motel.

Location of the accommodation was great, the rooms were very clean and the showers had plenty of water pressure. The facilities offered in the room were good but not as good as some others we have stayed in. All in all, very good and would consider staying again.

The sheets!!! Holy cow, it was like sleeping inside a chip packet. They were so stiff and the noise they made was so loud that you would wake up every time yourself or your partner moved. Better sheets would raise my rating considerably.

Perfect location walking distance to main street with restaurants and cafes. All room facilities were as expected, clean and very comfortable bed. Plenty of power outlets and light switches conveniently located near bed. Bathroom was clean, roomy and well appointed. Easy parking in front of room on ground level.

Lovely layout, size was great as well as fabulously insulated, didn't need to use heating at all. Bathroom included 3 or 4 shelves to place everything.

Nothing much, just that the parking area was littered with small loose gravel which made it's way into the room.

The room is big. Very nice staff. I left my hot water bottle in the motel. The staff were very nice and gave me a call after I checked out when I was still in Tumut, so that I was able to go back to pick it up. Thanks so much to the staff!

Just a little bit noisy outside in the morning between 7am to 8am. The carpark is just out of the rooms. It was not quiet when the neighbour guests were leaving the motel.

I arrived late at night. I was contacted earlier in the day by a member of the staff to arrange my secure access to a room after the office closed. The room was very welcoming, with a night light turned on and the room was heated. Breakfast arrived at 8:00am as I had requested. The room was clean and very comfortable. The shower and toilet were sparkling clean. I thoroughly recommend the Elms and will stay again.

This motel was the finest I stayed in this trip, staff Yanmei waited for our arrival, despite us arriving after closing time, the rooms were neat, clean and well stocked, every thing was to perfection, breakfast was served on time and well cooked and presented. congratulations to the chef and staff.
