Guest Reviews
- richard (9/5): -
- Karen (10/5): A great choice for an overnight stay in Ararat. - The room was spacious, very clean & comfortable. The proprietor was very helpful in giving us a very good dinner recommendation to The Blue Duck, which was a very short walk from the motel. The noise of a few trucks during the night ( but my husband didn't hear a thing!)
- Marilyn (9/5): Location, location. Very friendly welcome and comfortable sleep. - Thought the adjacent main road might disturb our sleep. But NO, the double glazing eliminated it to a non disturbing murmur. :-)
