Budget on the Lake Motor Inn – Hamilton, VIC

Budget on the Lake is like my second home in Hamilton. This is my third stay here and since my first one, I did not have to look elsewhere as this is exactly what I needed whilst completing my lab classes at the Hamilton hospital. The unit is self contained with all the essentials that I needed. It is clean, welcoming and conveniently located. Set right opposite the lake was also a bonus as I could enjoy a walk/run in the afternoon around this beautiful treasure after a long day. A big Thank you to Tam who has always been very accommodating and ensured that all my needs are met. Highly recommend!
City Park Motel & Apartments – Wagga Wagga, NSW

Such A Beautifully Run Motel, Pet Friendly Rooms Were Exceptionally Clean On Arrival And Serviced Every Day By The Wonderful Housekeepers, I Would Most Definitely Recommend To Everybody!! 10 / 10 ☺️
Wintersun Motel – Victor Harbor, SA

Excellent budget hotel! I ended up extending my stay here because I liked it (and the town) so much. Clean, comfy bed, the carpet, linen and shower curtain seemed to be new. I appreciated the microwave, which not all budget hotels offer. I especially liked the fact that there were two opposing windows which allowed for air circulation in the room. The owner, Joy, was very nice and accommodating.
Coorrabin Motor Inn – Stawell, VIC

Outstanding Motel ! I spend about 200 Nights a year in a motel somewhere in regional Victoria. This is definitely My TOP pick for 2023! 1. GOLD STANDARD customer service!🌟 2. Cleanliness - No black mold in the shower 3. Hot Shower with good water pressure! 4. Mattress is comfortable, 5. Cozy BBQ area.
Citywalk Motor Inn – Rockhampton, QLD

I recently stayed at this motel and it was amazing! The place was super clean and tidy, and the rooms were surprisingly spacious. The best part was the fantastic service I received from the staff. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a comfortable stay with friendly service. The new bathrooms are a fantastic addition and compliments the other renovations well. You won't be disappointed with your stay here! 😄🌟
Curtain Fig Motel – Yungaburra, QLD

We have been on a road trip along the Qld. Coast and this has been our best Motel stay. The difference is the owners live on site and Jane and Mark are there to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Lovely home cooked meals, attention to details and a sweet little dog to welcome you.
Travelway Motel – Port Pirie, SA

Due to a back illness we have to stay overnight when travelling, we had a birthday party to attend so stayed at this motel. From the first booking phone call I was assisted give a great price, and very helpful from all staff. Had a great sleep lovely and quiet, and finished off our stay with a great poached egg breakfast. Would we stay again yes for sure and have already booked in advance for a wedding in May Thanks to all the lovely staff for making our stay a good one.
The Admiral Motor Inn – Rosebud, VIC

Neal was extremely helpful and friendly and obviously takes great pride in his motel. Rooms were spotless and beautifully presented. Opposite the beach and walking distance to some great food places. Couldn't ask for much better. Would highly recommend.
Orana Motor Inn - Dubbo, NSW

The building is newly refurbished and very clean. We stayed 2 nights and our room was serviced each morning. The car park has a huge awning and the parking spaces are very wide. The proprietors are friendly and obliging. I plan on making Orana my base for future visits to the Mildura region.
