Quick overnight stop over

Unable to arrive or leave during office hours, so did not meet staff, but communication re access to room was helpful. Also nice touch was lights on in the room on arrival. Front room experience some road noise, in particular due to trucks parking near to fast food outlet.

Internet was lousy. Couldn't watch free to air, pic coming and going. Tried to watch a movie, took longer because it had to reload a number of times. Didn't like the self closing toilet lid as it didn't fit the toilet properly and it would start coming down as you were trying to sit. Mattress was comfortable.

Clean, tidy & welcoming room. Surroundings were pleasant & pool area well maintained. Receptionist was very helpful & left a list of near by restaurants in the room for me. I had to go to my car to get change of clothes for the next days travel but could not open door with key. All staff had gone home it was after hours. Had to knock on neighbours door for help. He very kindly got it open for me but it took a while he said the locks were tricky.

Property was a convenient stop for us. Arrived before reception closed but had to locate the receptionist - not difficult as she was on the property, but made us nervous! She was absolutely lovely. Gave us a terrific dinner suggestion (Grand Hotel Terminus) and suggested a visit to Raymond Island to see the Koala colony

our 3rd stay . Its a great and convenient spot to stay - We love to eat down at the pub near the station and happily walk there and potter home via another route to look at shop windows or the cricket - on our way to Mallacoota . We did find that the type of electric blanket on the bed in room 28 makes the bed very hot to sleep in and hadnt found that trouble the last couple of times .in other bedrooms I unplugged it at both sides from the power board as john said it was on so I had to prove it wasnt !!!!! but noted that it some sort of synthetic cover on it which is probably why . May have to use a woollen underblanket ontop to prevent this !! it was very very humid sat night though !!!!

Queen room 20 upstairs

Comfortable bed and pillows and clean room. Small area for kettle and toaster with very small fridge. No plates, but were supplied after asking at reception. A fair bit of traffic noise but not so bad if you remember to close the sliding toilet door at night. Shower pressure not the best but workable. Beware of the toaster - sides get very hot!

Get a room away from the front

The service and welcome was very good and the room was good except for the location. A front room at this motel is only metres from the Princes Highway in Bairnsdale and the traffic noise is disturbing. That plus people out the front at 3am and a vehicle leaving the property from directly in front of my room added to a night of disturbed sleeping. I believe a room away from the front of the property would be very good, however I can only review on the experience I had.
