Everything was really nice, but the off street parking was a bit tight. We went out to a function and came back to a full car park, so had to park on the street. Otherwise, it was good.

I liked: the large unit, the separate bedroom, the kitchenette, the excellent heating, the 2 televisions.
There was some initial problem with fridge defrosting but we sorted it out. When connecting electric plug of electric blanket it was rather dusty behind bedside table.

Fantastic little Motel. Super friendly and helpful check-in. The place was in a great location, very clean and had all the necessary facilities. It was also nice and warm on a very cold Ballarat night. Can highly recommend this property and hope to stay again
