we stayed in the King Bed Room (room 5) on arrival we were given fresh milk for our coffee/tea, the bed was super comfortable, the TV was huge, the room and bathroom was very clean and had a large rainfall shower, only thing i would suggest is the use of domestos or gumption on the shower base and tiles.

Lovely hotel just off the main road through town. Really clean, quiet, and fairly modern. The rooms come with fridge, microwave, kettle, crockery, cutlery, etc. It was really quiet despite being quite central.

Excellently-priced motel, close to the Main Street of Warrnambool. Clean, well-appointed room with nice, modern, spacious bathroom. Easy off-street parking and surprisingly quiet rooms, given proximity to the highway. Booking process easy and after hours check in not an issue. Staff very friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
