Important !
- Kellie (7/5): This was satisfactory - Staff were lovely parking was easy, it is as described, well priced The main bed was a little uncomfortable makes you roll to the middle
- Joe (9/5): Excellent stopover when travel Melbourne to Sydney - Great location, close to main street restaurants
- Deborah Perrett-Surace (5/5): - Convenient location It's been 10 years since I stayed at this property. It's looking very tired. The room was noisy which I didn't remember on my last stay
- Keith (5/5): - Location excellent. Cleanliness good and reception helpful. The bed was comfortable. The room was very tiny and cramped and so represented poor value for the cost.
The tv was google tv only and no free to air.
- Sheree (9/5): Very good - It was very clean and convenient It is a little dated
- Jennifer (8/5): We would happily stay again - check in is easy. A big plus for us is the quietness away from highway and main street traffic noise. We appreciate that there is a water jug provided so you don't have to try and get the kettle under the bathroom tap to fill it for a cuppa. the place is always clean and well presented.
- Kimberley (10/5): - Super friendly staff. Exceptionally clean. Excellent provisions such as toaster and kettle. Stairs were a bit hairy at first.
- Michelle (8/5): Great location and quiet area - Location great, friendly staff, family upstairs and could hear them moving around, so a bit noisy. Room temperature hard to regulate, perhaps a ceiling fan? Shower could have had more pressure.
- Marie (8/5): -
- Terrence (10/5): - Nice rooms, very clean, well maintained
- Rodney (10/5): - Very clean and cosy good amenities.
- Sue (8/5): Clean and comfortable. - Clean room and comfortable bed. A little bit in the expensive side.
- eric (8/5): sadly we had to cancel the person we rang was very understanding. Disregard the scores -
- David (10/5): -
- robert (10/5): -
- Robert (8/5): Brief overnighter while on local business - Clean, comfortable and warm for a straightforward overnight stay. Needed a late check in which was arranged hassle-free, as was my early departure, all without (sadly) meeting the host team (next time!). Has a charming touch of the 1980s about it suggesting this place was premium back in its day, and I feel it still holds its own for those with reasonable expectations. Didn’t pose a problem for me but if you’re a light sleeper and you’re given an upstairs room, you’ll likely note the traffic flying by Gundagai on the motorway throughout the night. Know though that this probably would be the case in most parts of town as like all small country places, it’s completely quiet after hours. Inter-room noise proofing is also a bit 1980s but again, was OK for me.
- Anne (8/5): -
- Vince (10/5): -
- Paul (9/5): -
- Damien (8/5): Clean and Comfortable. - Very clean and comfortable. Bed was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. Free WiFi is a plus.
The AC was great as the night we stayed was quite humid. The only negative was there were no bowls in the room. We had our breakfast but nothing to put it in. Only a minor inconvenience though.
- Sallyanne (9/5): So exceptionally clean - So clean, I was so impressed by how clean this place is. Location is amazing and it was a great stay. Loved the room names and info. A very Australian touch. Noisy people. Nothing against the hotel just people need to learn they are not at home and to be considerate.
- Megan (8/5): -
- Ami (10/5): - This is our new go-to stop! Staff are so friendly, rooms are spacious and love the proximity to the playground. NA
- GrantandGlenda (8/5): Great for a stopover between Sydney and Melbourne - Great location Not enough crockery and cutlery
- Adrian (8/5): Good clean basic accommodation -
- David (8/5): -
- Irmhild (8/5): -
- Robyn (6/5): -
- Anthony (8/5): -
- Frances (9/5): Very comfy beds - Clean and better than most Some noise up stairs room s
- Anna-Karin (10/5): Perfect rest spot. - Convenient location. Clean. Organised.
- Dean (9/5): Great stop over - Really nice place for a stop over on way to Melbourne. Very clean and tidy and easy walk to local cafes and pubs
- Jeanne (9/5): -
- Denise (8/5): -
- Duncan (10/5): A great nights stay at a quality motel. Excellent - Cleanliness, staff, quality of room, EV charger, help with requests, convenient location Nothing
- Marcia Ann (9/5): - Great location and facilities for our stay. Suited us perfectly. Nothing to report.
- Jennifer (8/5): Very happy with my stay, its perfect for a short stay during a road trip or to stay multiple nights. - The entire place was so clean and beds were comfortable No designated car spaces so, due to checking in late, we did not get a car space and had to park on the street.
- Jessica (8/5): Quiet and comfortable - The room was immaculately clean, warm and comfortable. Staff at check in were friendly. It is walking distance from everything. Despite the few short falls listed below, it was a lovely room and we got a good quiet nights sleep. The website advertised room service was available but there was no information booklet in the room with menu or ordering instructions. Apparently there is a breakfast hall but again no details re. Where to go or a menu. The office was unattended in the morning so we couldn't ask anyone.
I probably wouldn't recommend this motel if you are a larger person as the toilet "cubicle" squeezed in next to the shower is quite a tight fit, even for an average sized adult. Not sure if all the rooms have the same layout though.
- Kathryn (7/5): Could only - All as advertised. Clean comfortable and convenient with a good price. Bathrooms are now very dated.
- Steve (8/5): -
- Ian (9/5): -
- Deck (8/5): Good place for a one night work stay. - Comfortable, clean, quiet upstairs room; nice hot shower. Short walk to (RSL) dinner. All good
- Will (7/5): -
- George (6/5): -
- Sue (9/5): Perfect place for our overnight stay in a beautiful town. - Great size room that was spotlessly clean, with very comfy bed and lovely hot shower.
- Cathy (10/5): - Spotlessly clean once again! Easy smooth late check in. Convenient parking. Everything we could ask for in an overnight stopover.
- Yvonne (9/5): - Good location. Off the highway so fairly quiet
- Guest (8/5): -
- Garry (9/5): Great location, 5 minutes walk to serviceman’s club and 2 pubs. - Breakfast was not included The room was spacious and exceptionally clean. The pillows were the bed we’ve had in paid accommodation ever.
- Rebecca (9/5): - Beds were very comfortable. The light outside the room was a bit too bright. Would have liked bowls for cereal in the room.
- belinda (9/5): We had a great time and would book again - The staff were very nice
Room smelt nice and very clean
Position Nothing
- Larissa (10/5): Loved it! Would definitely stay again! - It is by far the best motel that I have ever stayed at. I had a room upstairs and it was cute, super clean and well maintained. I didn’t want to leave. I felt very safe. It is on close to the main road and you do hear lots of trucks driving past.
- Jo (7/5): The bed was good, the room was clean, but there were challenges. - This was a great place to stay on our road trip south on the Hume.
It was easy to find and very conveniently located in terms of just turning off the highway.
Accessibility to the room was very good, and the hotel ensured I had a ground floor room as booked, as I added a note that I have physical mobility issues. The shower as also accessible for me, although there was one small ledge to step over.
The bed was very comfortable. .The room was nice enough, but pretty basic for $165.
The bathroom was clean but very basic: the 1980s style very small vanity doesn’t have anywhere to put down anything much at all - not real helpful when you are travelling and literally need to bring everything with you.
In the room, there was one regular chair and one more comfortable sitting chair in a room intended for two people. There were two each of cups, teaspoons, glasses and sandwich plates, but no other cutlery or larger plates for anyone who brought their dinner back to their room, like we did.
Eating at the hotel restaurant wasn’t an option as it is not currently running -a fact not mentioned at all on the website or by staff in the booking process.
- GS (8/5): - Good location, comfy room, friendly service. Light on all night outside window that lit the room.
- Srinivasan (10/5): - Exceptional customer service, clean and neat rooms. Very comfortable bed. A beautiful place to stay in the beautiful town of Gundagai.
- Kathryn (10/5): - Very clean and comfortable-perfect rest stop Sydney to Melbourne
- William (10/5): Very comfortable, great location and safe. - All good and a very nice stay N/A
- Elyse (8/5): Good option for a stopover - Location, availability of larger apartment style rooms. Clean and comfortable. There is an EV charger (but we didn’t use it as flat fee of $15 was expensive for the small top up we needed). Small things, eg no power point next to bed, curtains aren’t blackout which is a problem if you are on the street side with the lit up sign right outside.
- Tina (9/5): Very, very comfortable. I would definitely recommend staying here. - The staff were lovely. Very knowledgeable and helpful. They had a charging station which was great as the NRMA one at Oliver's was not working. The room was small, but had everything we needed.
- Louisa (9/5): -
- Kayla (9/5): Clean and comfy! - Very clean and comfy beds!
- Kondys (10/5): Great for families but beware if you have a mini escape artist - We had the family room right next to the pool. This was also at the very end of the property so we were less stressed about disturbing other guests.
The room was impeccably clean and we felt very comfortable. One downside was our room couldn't be locked with a key on the inside which meant our three year old could let himself out which he tried and succeeded in doing many times.
- Kerry (8/5): -
- JULIE (8/5): -
- Vicki (8/5): -
- Joanne (10/5): Friendly, comfortable, clean and a perfect location. - Friendly owners, very welcoming and helpful. We had a trailer and owners assisted with parking options. Nothing, it was great.
- Allan (9/5): Perfect - Everything All good
- Diane (6/5): Convenient but not secure - Friendly welcome and clean A man unlocked our door while we were inside our room. Luckily we had the chain across the lock and I jumped up from the bed to push it closed. Evidently keys are very similar and can open other door locks which are flimsy and not very secure.
- Karen (8/5): Perfect stopover! - Very central location. Very comfortable beds, spotlessly clean.
- Rohit (10/5): -
- Alison (10/5): -
- Jennifer (8/5): -
- Catharine (10/5): our go to place for accomodation - always very comfortable and close to all town ameneties always good to stay here n/a
- Fenney (5/5): Very compact but good position. - Room clean. Good view from the balcony. Table and chairs provided to sit outside. Great location close to Main Street. Extremely compact room. Tiny bath/shower. Noisy sliding door to bathroom. Room far too small to feel comfortable.
- Darren (8/5): -
- Ross (10/5): Refreshing, relaxing, convenient - Excellent size, plenty of room, excellent location to main street and amenities.
- Leila (10/5): Country character motel with a cosy ambiance! - Wholesome country character motel. The staff were very welcoming & the stay felt very nice & homey! They have everything that you could need!
