The Owners run the Motel very well. The cleaning lady was excellent at her job. Others staying there were quiet and that made it easier to get my work done.

Being in Room 1 I did hear the Laundry going half the night. Maybe next time a room at the end of the premises away from the Laundry would be good :)

Motel was easy to find and had all the amenities I needed. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. At all times the management were very communicative. The price was very reasonable as well. I would stay there again.

Didn't have the breakfast but the location suited our needs perfectly. It was great to have room to park my boat as this enabled me to fish during the day, stay over night at the motel and then fish again the next morning before heading home.

The use of a room freshener spray would have enhanced the experience.

The room size was great 2 double beds to spread out over. Open to natural air ventilation on arrival. Tea /Coffee & kettle, toaster & microwave . Good signage, Off main road set -back but Very quiet & NO road noise at all. Seems secluded but only short 5 min drive to Portland central. Plenty to see at Portland & surround.

?? Tom Tom address directions not accurate ?? But Good signage. easy to find.

Large room well appointed for travellers staying a few days. Friendly staff. Electric blankets, reverse cycle air conditioning, TV, crockery and cutlery. Breakfast making facilities. Space for kids to play safely.

If car-less then a distance from Portland CBD.

Our room was very spacious & comfy We loved that the big window looked out to a private back garden - meant we could leave the curtains open...lovely Nav, the owner/manager, let us leave our car while we walked the GSWW & made room for us when we arrived back earlier than planned.

Location and room size

Had to wash dishes in the bathroom sink. Thought a better idea would be that the owners washed the dishes in a dishwasher therefore next tenants would be guaranteed clean dishes.

Cosy beds, a nice medium space room for an individual. And any place that offers the ability to offer Netflix on a remote controller is convenient for my interests.

Can’t find anything that I didn’t like about the property.

Staff were very friendly and eager to please. You really felt the young couple running the motel were trying to make our stay comfortable. We were pleased we stayed to explore this part of Victoria, surprisingly lots to do, we will return.

The window in bathroom let cold air into room was unable to close off. It was extremely cold and windy. The boundary fence was also rattling in the wind which made it difficult to sleep.
