The beds were comfortable.

Our hot water ran out pretty quickly in the shower. Our aircon couldn't change temperature. It was set to 16 degrees. And the heater was quite noisy. Upgrading the aircon unit would be good. People smoke right outside our room. I had a little baby, and at night, all I could smell was cigarette smoke. Maybe having an option to close the windows at the front would be great. I asked for a cot in the room, and they said a cot would be in the room. When I arrived, no cot was available, I improvised and pushed the couch against the bed so my little one wouldn't fall out. Staff came to my door the next day asking if I still need a cot.

It was basic but that's what was expected. Roomy, very clean and the the bed was comfortable and had clean comfortable bedding. Heater and lighting was on when we arrived late in the evening so very welcoming. Tea coffee and basic cereal options in the room. Microwave and toaster and kettle fridge of course with a long kitchen bench so very practical. I was expecting more tired but very fresh. Well worth it for a night or two.

Nothing really. It was what you would expect from an old motel. It looked tired and a bit scruffy on the outside but the rooms are great.

Changed towels everyday , provided with milk

If someone stays for longer then pls provide more milk only . We used long life too .. I do think it will cost a lot .. just a milk nothing else so someone can have little hot drink in morning .. if they don’t use then you don’t need to fill up again any how .. because most of people only prefer to use milk only ..

The property is in a really great location, so many shops nearby, on a main road so easy to find and easy to travel around. It’s a beautiful park, well maintained and kept really clean.

The walls seem thin at times. You can hear the people in the next room or the tv on in the other room. I dare say this would be different in a cabin than in the motel. The bed we stayed in felt really hard. And I’m glad I packed an extra blanket because I was freezing at night.

The staff are always friendly and helpful. The pool is wonderful, my Grandaughters loved swimming in it every day. It was ideally positioned for all the activities we went to.

No no internet, no comfy chair to sit in to read or watch TV, but it was still an excellent holiday, to finish the old year and head into the new year.

This motel would have to be one of the loveliest motels we have ever stayed in. My husband had to be in hospital for a couple of days so we (mostly me) spent 3 days at the motel. The Frankston hospital was an easy drive of only about 10 minutes. We had the spa suite- which is a 2 person spa of a regular bath shape, and had the shower over it. The bathroom was very generous in size. The room was quite spacious with a 2 seater couch and a queen size bed. Whilst there were no usb ports there was enough power points to accommodate our needs- including 2 sleep apnoea machines. The staff are all absolutely 💯 % amazing. They were so helpful, friendly, kind and thoughtful. There was nothing that was to much trouble for them, and listened to our ideas and requests for what may be helpful for those of us who are less able bodied. They have ramps available to put at doorways if required or even to make it easier to get up the gutter in the car park. The whole place was very clean- both in the rooms and outside. I was listening to the woman cleaning the room next to me one morning and I could hear how thoroughly she was attending to each area. The noise was not loud or annoying it was just the awareness that she was being very thorough. Even though, at the time of writing this, there is nothing on the website about the motel having rooms with disability access they do actually have 3! The car park has plenty of room which is great and there are no height restrictions which is really helpful for us as our vehicle is 2.75 high. While we were there the pool was being worked on so I can't give any feedback on that. We had menu log deliver to us for most of our meals, it was easy, and there was plenty of lovely food places to choose from that were close to the motel. Everything about Currum Downs Motel was pretty much perfect for us.

My only small obstacle was that our room was one of the few left that hasn't yet been updated with a newer air conditioner. It worked very well and was not loud but it didn't have a remote and was up quite high- out of my reach. I asked one of the women who were cleaning near by if they could turn it down " yes of course". No hassle just great friendly service.

Everthing about the place was Fantastic,camp kitchen for all to use. We are travelling with our dog, we had no issues with him being in our room. We even booked an extra 3 nights, shops close by. Cleaning staff were friendly and helpful as well. Definitely stay here again.

The BBQ wasn't clean.

The welcome breakfast was very sweet and welcoming. Everyone was polite and generally nice. Great flexibility with late arrivals.

Only advice, the signage for the property should be further towards the lights and closer to the road. It’d help people find the property easier.

Pet friendliness. Excellent facility for people travelling with dogs. Staff were very pleasant and friendly.

Fridge was not working properly. Did not keep items frozen in freezer (room 10) despite being turned to maximum. Did keep things cool in main section.
