The on site dryer was a god send after our clothes were wet from a day out. The staff were friendly & accommodating to our requests. The indoor pool was great for the kids to unwind & warm up on the cold winter Ballarat weather.

It's a nice motel, very spacious rooms. I used to hold events here years ago. It is now becoming dated, the rooms need an upgrade and the restaurant they lease too has a 3 star rating so not amazing, however I would still stay here again because I know the place.

Whilst a bit dated, the room was very large, clean and comfy. It was a bit tricky to use the pool as it was locked when I went to use it and was told that only the owner had a key. I chose this hotel because of the heated pool. Check out was at 10am, yet staff knocked on the door to clean it at 9.40, a bit weird.

The motel was adequate. It was very dated and in need of some repairs and upkeep inside and out. Our toilet started to leak after a couple of uses during the night and we had to put towels down to soak up the water.
