Guest Reviews
- Lynette (8/5): It worked - Location and staff Nothing
- Andrew (7/5): good clean and reliable - ok place to stay. place is clean and central. tidy and the owners are making improvements. beds could be better.
- Wendy (10/5): - Our third stay at this location and excellent as always. So convenient to everything and the rooms are always clean and comfortable.
- Raymond (8/5): -
- Alicja (10/5): - Great location, super comfy bed
- Peter (7/5): A country motel for short stays - The Colonial Lodge Motel is an acceptable country motel, though nowadays it is a bit 'tired'. Spacious room, functional bathroom / shower and comfortable bed - so it meets the basic needs. Beyond this it was just the simplest of tea / coffee making facilities, nothing more. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good location - walking distance to the main street of Ararat and also walking distance to the nearby Woolworths. This was the second time we have stayed at the Colonial Lodge Motel - met our basic needs on each occasion. Some traffic and train noise during the night. Though we were not impacted, some impressive building works are being carried out on site.
- Shaun (7/5): -
- Janet (8/5): - Room was great Car parking, as builders were there. I got a flat tyre from a builders nail.

- Margaret (9/5): Ideal location for eateries & places of travel. We will certainly be returning. Easy booking in & out. Spacious - Comfort, clean location Understandably the new developments created some issues but all minor & we will be back. We missed the yummy breakfast which we had enjoyed in the past,. It is an ideal location between major areas we travel .
- Saroeun (9/5): -
- Lisa (7/5): Nice, modernized motel - Close to Main Street. Clean and very spacious for a motel. Nice modern bathroom. Renovations can’t be helped but looks a mess at the Moment. WiFi not strong and causes a few glitches with free to air tv.
- Jane (10/5): - The staff were extremely helpful. The bathroom was fantastic - newly renovated with a huge shower with plenty of hot water. The room was very large. Highly recommend.
- Anna (10/5): -
- McQueen (3/5): Not good value for money - bathroom nice. other things not ok for $175 per night. curtains not good. bed poor. 4 pillows would be expected for that price. However i can see your trying to upgrade a lot and it would be a big cost. Just not worth $175 per night guys.
- Santhosh (10/5): - The location of the hotel is excellent. Close proximity to all major shops and eateries. Nothing quite that can be highlighted.
- Darrin (10/5): -
- Leonard (8/5): Comfortable room, with all the facilities needed for an o/n stay. - Room was a reasonable size and quiet during the night. Excellent location, near to the town centre and botanical gardens. All good.
- Clive (10/5): Great freshly refurbished room - Wonderful refurbishment to the rooms. Love the little kitchen area for breakfast. Look forward to coming back again The unit was very clean and neatly presented, fresh towels, smart TV with Netflix. Great location right on shops no need to move the car
- Helen (8/5): Great room & location, would stay again. - The room was excellent. Spotless, comfortable and freshly renovated. I was not aware there was construction going on which would have been nice to know about in advance but not a deal breaker.
- Lynn (8/5): -
- Ross (8/5): Good - X Xx X
- 367annb367 (8/5): Well positioned and helpful. - Location was great. Room updated and very clean. Further upgrading is continuing. A pool is not available and on raising this with reception, they have told those further up the chain (Golden Chain) but they have failed to arrange removal of the pool pictures. The gentleman at reception was terrific. We were on our motor bikes and asked if we could leave our bags at reception on check out day to pick up later. He was very helpful in saying yes and also opening up reception earlier than opening hours so we could leave the bags with him. Thank you. I would have no hesitation in staying here again.
- peter (3/5): - Adequate room The motel is undergoing renovations which was not advertised on your site, probably because you were not advised. As a result we seemed to be almost the only guests. There was no breakfast which had been a factor in choosing accommodation
- Andrew (8/5): Clean room and pleasant staff but motel was undergoing repairs which didn't look good. -
- Lily (8/5): -
- kadam (8/5): -
- Andrew (7/5): Comfortable place in Ararat for an overnight stay - Very convenient location, helpful staff. Big rooms, clean and renovated. Well back from main highway. Happy with our stay. Property undergoing renovations and had a ‘closed down’ feel to it but did not adversely impact our stay.
- John (7/5): -
- Louise (8/5): Very pleasant. - Beds very comfy. Nice new bathroom. The basin (sink) is not in the bathroom. It is in the main room. So there is no bench space in bathroom to put anything on. We realise they are brand new bathrooms. Maybe some hooks as well, would be great to hang clothes in the bathroom. Great shower though.
- Roscoe (8/5): -
- Kieran (8/5): -
- Robert (9/5): Stayed there previously and would probably stay there again, good value and so close to conveniences - No breakfasts were included, a DIY job but as it's so close to local eateries breakfast wasn't a problem.
- Patrica (10/5): Comfortable - Our stay was wonderful. The room was very tidy and roomy. Nothing
- Christine (10/5): - Location was fantastic. Room was excellent. Facilities were of a high standard

- Andrew (10/5): - How close to the town it is. Walking distance
- Rebecca (9/5): - Excellent location, stayed on a trip from Gippsland to Adelaide Had a group of young travellers on their way to a festival next door that were not considerate of others, not the hotels fault though.
- Kim137 (9/5): Shower from heaven - Good, clean, affordable accomodation, close to everything needed Not the properties fault - but the 3-4 cars full of 20 something year olds arriving, that thought it was appropriate to yell & swear at each other in the carpark whilst children were present, not to mention disrespectful to other patrons
- Alison (10/5): Motel was comfortable and easy walk to the main street. - No breakfast All good
- Sheelagh (8/5): -
- Stewart (8/5): Great location with easy acces to town - Great location and so nicely renovated. Limited space on the bench to prepare breakfast .

- Eugenie Kersten (9/5): - Ruime kamer met alle faciliteiten. Moderne badkamer. Goede locatie, in het centrum. Gastvrije ontvangst. Niets
- Hendrik (9/5): Clean room good location - I’ve been here before because of the location walking distance to restaurants and shops big room very clean Not much
- Jenny (10/5): -
- Karren (8/5): -
- Dianne (9/5): -
- C1173WJlisaf (6/5): Not great - The motel does not look great at first glance and appeared to be abandoned. I had booked this motel because of the location, right near Woolworths & a petrol station, near the highway for a quick departure in the morning. The room itself was clean and spacious, but there was no hot water for the shower, and no cups/plates/bowls in the room (available on request from reception). I hope the place improves when the building works are finished.
- Claire (5/5): -
- Chelsea (9/5): -
- SE3RiousJones (10/5): Would stay again or recommend to family coming to visit! - Within walking distance to Ararat’s main street—and with the supermarket right across the road—the location was super convenient. The room was a great size, with clean and comfortable beds. The bathroom looked brand new and was spacious, easily big enough to accommodate a wheelchair if needed. The little kitchenette was really handy, and the microwave was a bonus. The sofa and dining table made the space feel extra comfortable and homely. Well priced and great place to stay if flying solo or road tripping with the whole family! Car parking is available and some rooms are accessibility friendly with ramps instead of stairs. There was construction happening and areas fenced off while we stayed but there wasnt any noise and i guess how else do places get better?!
- Global29463100186 (10/5): Id stay again! - Booked last minute and had no problem. Clean big room, Close to town.and supermarket. I recommend if you are going to or through Ararat. Pleasant surprise!
- Michael (7/5): -
- 665annabelg (6/5): No reception. Miss advertising - There was supposed to be reception until 9 pm. There is no reception. 1st he calls to ask arrival time, then when you get to motel you call a number and he tells you which room and key is inside. The exterior is having some landscape done. The mud from this gets carried inside and also into your car. There is no where to put your bags except on the spare bed. It was all very sparten Was a new disabled bathroom
- Annabel (5/5): -
- Denise (5/5): - No breakfast available
- Trisha (10/5): -

Proprietor very friendly and helpful. Good value for money.

- Belladownunder (10/5): Very comfortable and quiet room - Currently undergoing renovation, the rooms are all finished and everything in them is new. Bed is comfy, TV is a decent size, towels and linen lovely. Rooms have microwave, jug and toaster. Ideal stopover for someone on their own travelling between Adelaide and Melbourne. I enjoyed my stay and will stay again.
- belinda (9/5): Would happily stay again - The property is obviously in the middle of a major renovation, however the rooms have already been renovated, and were surprisingly spacious, nicely refurbished and clean. Everything in them is new and I was very comfortable.
- Simon (10/5): -
- bernie (10/5): -
- Tracey (8/5): -
- Rose (10/5): - Our room was so much better than expected. We have stayed in many motels to be able to compare. It seemed to be newly renovated with a large bathroom and shower. Very tastefully done with great colours. The bed was comfortable with electric blankets keeping us warm from very cold nights. The main room was big with a lovely bay window. Over the road is a shopping centre with all your needs. Just a short walk around the corner and we were in the Main Street of Ararat. Staff were very friendly and check in was easy. Each of our three day stay, the staff replaced our towels for fresh dry ones and generally cleaned our room. All in all a great experience. Will definitely stay here on next visit to see family.
- John (9/5): - Helpful staff. Clean warm and comfortable. Near eating and shopping facilities A shower cap would have been useful
