Guest Reviews
- Annalisa (7/5): -
- William (8/5): - cleanliness Road traffic noise during sleep hours.
- Karen (8/5): Very clean and comfortable accommodation. Handy Location. - Whilst staff were not on site at the time I was there assistance was really great via phone contact. The Southern Cross museum was fantastic and the Swanton Organic Cafe in the main street was terrific. The food at the servicemen's club was also very good.
- Jasmyne (10/5): Perfect - Lovely owners, location was comfortable
- Lauren (8/5): -
- Alison (9/5): -
- Carmody (10/5): -
- Anthony (10/5): - Great little motel, thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
- Richard (8/5): - Clean room, friendly staff
- Ruth (10/5): - Warm welcome, clean room, comfortable bed,, quiet and relaxing stay
- Andre (10/5): great! - extremely clean, complimentary bottles of water, snacks and soft drink available in the room for a small cost if wanted, windscreen cleaning bucket and sponge available for use. nothing
- Ant (6/5): -
- Sally (10/5): Spacious room and friendly people - The room was spacious, clean and comfy. There is a good sized fridge, great for travellers carrying an esky full of food. It looks out on garden through a large window, much nicer than many other motels. It is also very central. The staff are super friendly and helpful, that was the best part!
- Marcus Vowels (7/5): - Basic cabin with all essential features basic features. The road noise was a big issue from transport trucks almost all night. This may have been accentuated by the closure of the road east of Broken Hill.
- Pauline (10/5): We would definitely stay again. - We really liked having a microwave and some crockery and cutlery so we could prepare our own meal. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was nice and hot.
- Chloe (8/5): - As no washing up resources were made available, there was a note detailing where to leave used cutlery. This was very useful. Complimentary seedless grapes were provided from the farm.
- Emily (10/5): Great place to stay when travelling long distances. - Clean and tidy and great location. Nothing, great place to stay.
- heidi (3/5): -
- Phil (10/5): nice clean and friendly .....free grapes were great ...cheers -
- Philip (10/5): Excellent - Polly very helpful in answering online questions
- Yoshi (10/5): Lovely, warm oasis after a long drive! - Pristine bathroom (cleaner and more stocked than some Sydney hotels I've visited), and more than enough amenities to have dinner/breakfast comfortably. We ended up having Chinese carryout for dinner on the table and chairs inside the room, which was a considerable comfort after a long day of driving through the Australian outback. The electric kettle, ceramic mugs, and coffee/tea were also lovely for starting out the day (and it was very generous for the signage to let us know, that we could leave dirty mugs/cups and that the staff would clean them up for us afterwards). This place is not fancy, but it is very warm and welcoming, and is a lovely break after a long drive through dusty roads. The only change I would suggest is more control over reducing the power of the air conditioner unit: it would blow directly on our faces. To keep my eyelids from drying out, I used the extra pillow I didn't need, to form a "wall" on the side of my head to block the incoming air. Other than this small detail, this place was absolutely wonderful!
- Clemens (10/5): -
- Sergio (8/5): -
- Adam (5/5): - Lady at reception wasn’t very welcoming or up for a chat
- Robert (9/5): Easy convenient all as promised. Close to good facilities - Clean, well cared for, friendly people. Good facilities First time i drove out the raised path caused a bump. Slower after that
- Marilyn (8/5): Great place to stop for the night - It was quiet, clean and as it was small it meant people weren’t coming and going all the time. Probably time for a bit of an update but still fine for a country hotel
- Joanne (8/5): Friendly staff - Clean and modern
- Andrew (9/5): Very comfortable. - Spacious and clean. Staff were friendly and turned on the air conditioner before we arrived. This was greatly appreciated on a 40 degree day. Easy walk to shops, restaurant and the river. We slept well. A little tired but very clean.
- antonio (8/5): Clean comfortable and friendly staff - Clean comfortable A little overpriced but it was Xmas I suppose
- Cathryn (6/5): Great place to stay- thank you - The big fridge was great for traveling needing freezer space for ice packs Loved the towel sculpture to welcome us on the bed Unfortunately our neighbours smoked and the smell came into our room.
- Troy (8/5): -
- Janelle (8/5): Great value & great location - Location Cleanliness Big Fridge
- Hirst (7/5): - Good price functional rooms perfect for an overnight stay we have stayed here many times over the years AIRCON needs help noisy impossible to control temperature
- Karl (9/5): Great location, friendly staff, great for a one night sleep over - This motel was easy to get to, staff were friendly and texted us to let them know when we were close so they could switch the air con on, the room was clean and exactly as described. Other reviews of this and other hotels/motels stating that the trucks on the main road during the night as disturbing and YES they are but didn't see to bother us. The Wi-Fi had been upgraded and works well. Room was old and musty - but all reviews of the motels/hotels in the town are the same. Air con was extremely old and loud.

- Anastasios (10/5): -
- Joe (9/5): great - Three of us travelling in two separate vehicles used Colony as our meeting point for the trip. Used to stay at Colony when travelling for work in the 1980's. Still great.
- Adam (4/5): I wound stay here again but would first ask to inspect the room before paying - Bed was comfortable, location is good Mouldy smell eventually found out was coming from the drainage system, in staffs defence she tried to help but I think the drainage system needs a plumber to sort out, staff offered to move us but we had already been moved from an upstairs room to a downstairs room and set up so we said as it was only one night we would be ok.
- Danelle (9/5): Very good the beds were comfy would stay there again - Very clean and tidy great walking distance to the Main Street. All the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The shower was hard to regulate

- Juliet (8/5): Recommend for overnight travellers - Comfortable bed in a very clean spacious room . Smart TV and snacks for purchase in the room
- Susan (9/5): Superb - I was really pleased with many things at this motel. The staff member that greeted me was really lovely and helpful, the room had everything I needed, the bed and pillows were very comfortable, and everything was very clean, including the bathroom. It was also within walking distance to places to eat and the supermarket. If I could improve this motel at all, it would be to move it away from the main street that trucks travel along. But I still slept soundly.
- Karen (8/5): Very good -
- Andrea (8/5): Very good - Very comfortable bed. The location is very convenient. Older style small motel but has a full size fridge and all necessary facilities. No bedside table and lamp on one side of the bed. A lot of trucks on this highway which would bother a light sleeper.

- Jim (7/5): Good -
- Julie (8/5): Good convenient place fir a stopover on road trip. - Clean neat and tidy, good facilities.

- Wendy (8/5): Great place to stop and stretch and relax - A cheap and cheerful place to stay. Bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of room. There was tea and coffee facilities and complimentary water. I would recommend staying here. The mighty Murrumbidgee river was a short stroll away if you would like an evening or morning walk. We had a delicious dinner at the RSL. It was on a main road but it wasn’t too noisey as the town had a reduced speed of 40 km.
- Larry (10/5): All-round excellent - At last, a motel with decent firm pillows! So rare. Clean, comfortable, and well located. Friendly management and staff. Nothing not to like at this price point.

- Calwellkim (8/5): Very good - Room was well stocked with plates, cutlery, microwave, jug,. Also had table and chair for dining and other chairs for sitting. Bed was soft but comfortable. Good water pressure and blackout blinds worked well. Also supplied complimentary water. Parking spot out front of unit. Would stay here again, the added extras made it. Bathroom was a bit dated, but worked well.
