Guest Reviews

• Verified traveler (6/5): - It’s close to everything , ok for a quick stop for the night then move on
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The parking in front of the rooms was very tight. I was concerned someone may back into my car from the rooms opposite
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location, close to town. Stayed there when I evacuated from the fires. Staff was very nice
• Verified traveler (4/5): - upon arriving at the property I was told that they didn't have any rooms available despite wotif confirming my booking earlier that day. The person at reception was apologetic and help me find a more expensive alternative but it was disappointing none the less. It was not clear whether the hotel or wotif were responsible.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Why have a toaster? No knife or plate. Everything about this room Was depressing. The lights were terrible. Especially in the bathroom "cubicle"
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Pleasant place to stay but the parking was awkward as there were some big vehicles
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Our room was very outdated compared to others ive stayed in. Our bathroom sink was disgusting. The room smelt odd to start with and there is minimal air flow. Two tiny windows. Bed was very wobbly and way to soft. I put a review on when we arrived. The owner then decided to come and speak to me about it. She knocked and just barged in she was the most rudest person ever! Defiantly not how you run a business. I told her it was my opinion because I’ve stayed at other places around Bairnsdale and this was in comparison. She was loud mouthed and didn’t like anything I had to say. So rude!! Never will be staying there again.

• Squaredancers (4/5): Not suitable for our needs. - Distinct lack of drawers and shelves to store clothes, etc. Inadequate hanging space for the number of outfits we needed. Car park so small that it was necessary to reverse out onto the busy highway on one occasion, due to the car park being nearly full.

• Mark (8/5): .. Adequate and inexpensive - The Travellers Rest Motel has a name that is well suited to this establishment as it's no resort, but perfect for a short stay, to rest and be on your way..

I'd stay there again as a stopover point or if I needed a bed for the night in Bairnsdale ..
