My partner and I stayed here a few weeks ago to have a break for the weekend. If you're looking for something low budget, clean with friendly service this is the perfect place!
The accommodation is very well maintained and everything we needed for a weekend stay

Arriving early evening the manager kindly put the heater on before arrival, placed fresh milk in fridge and placed key under mat as reception was about to close. Much appreciated after a long drive in cold, wet weather.

Older style motel but comfortable and has everything you need for a budget price, next to some take away shops makes it very convenient.

The hotel, staff and room were all good other than the old style "in the wall," air conditioner. Time for a split system.

Lovely place to stay!
Clean, cosy and comfortable! Accommodating owner gave us an upgrade and late checkout! His wife even popped the heater on for us before we arrived. It had everything we needed and the beds were so comfortable! 5 stars from us! Would happily recommend and stay again 😊

Right next door are a couple of options for take away type of food which was really good for us as we arrived late and it was a cold miserable night. The owner put our heater on in the room before we arrived which was a pleasant surprise for us.

Thoroughly clean, tidy and neat.
Couldnt believe how quiet our nights stay was. Affordably priced. Great comfy warm bed.
There was nothing at all to pick fault with. We certainly will stay again. It will certainly be our first choice for accommodation in Ballarat I assure you.
