upon arriving at the property I was told that they didn't have any rooms available despite wotif confirming my booking earlier that day. The person at reception was apologetic and help me find a more expensive alternative but it was disappointing none the less. It was not clear whether the hotel or wotif were responsible.

We apologize again, we don't like to cause inconvenience to our guests, but it was just a matter of timing. Your online booking was made at the same time as a phone call from the fire dept. they took all our available rooms for the crews working on local bush fires.

Why have a toaster? No knife or plate. Everything about this room Was depressing. The lights were terrible. Especially in the bathroom "cubicle"

Anonymous, (Trudy G) you were told on check-in and it is stated in our compendium that if you required anything to request it at reception. Plates and knives come into that category, and are not permanently in the rooms due to loss or damage. We would have happily provided them had you asked. As for the lighting in the "cubicle" you are the First in thousands of guests to have this issue, I suggest you travel with a specially lit make-up mirror. I would also like to point out, you had the use of a larger room than you initially booked for your two nights with us.

Thankyou for taking the time to review. We agree that some vehicles took up a lot of space on what was a very busy weekend, but hope to see you again.

Our room was very outdated compared to others ive stayed in. Our bathroom sink was disgusting. The room smelt odd to start with and there is minimal air flow. Two tiny windows. Bed was very wobbly and way to soft. I put a review on when we arrived. The owner then decided to come and speak to me about it. She knocked and just barged in she was the most rudest person ever! Defiantly not how you run a business. I told her it was my opinion because I’ve stayed at other places around Bairnsdale and this was in comparison. She was loud mouthed and didn’t like anything I had to say. So rude!! Never will be staying there again.

When we booked they advertised they had a microwave but there was no microwave. Also the heating was too old and sounded like a jet engine and was inefficient so it was not comfortable.

Anonymous, we do not advertise a microwave in each room, only that they are available on request. If you had asked, we would have happily provided you with one. Bowls, plates cutlery as well. We find the heating very efficient,perhaps you did not have the settings correct. We would have checked it, if you had bought it to our attention.

Ideal for overnight travel.
The motel, although being old, was clean, comfortable and convenient for an overnight stay when travelling. It was true to its name- ‘Travellers Rest’ Recommend Rustic Ranch Eats, the restaurant next door to the motel.

Not suitable for our needs.
Distinct lack of drawers and shelves to store clothes, etc. Inadequate hanging space for the number of outfits we needed. Car park so small that it was necessary to reverse out onto the busy highway on one occasion, due to the car park being nearly full.

conveniently sited
Motel was convenient, close to shops etc. Facilities very clean, basic room and bathroom. Bed comfortable. Husband and wife owners friendly. Breakfast offered at extra charge. No microwave in room - drawback. Motel quiet, despite being in midtown. Small - only 15 rooms, which I liked - less patrons to make noise at night!
