This was a quaint place to stay, room was a tad small but all good, minutes to drive to main shops and we loved feeding the eels and the lovely japanese garden type area, the owners should advertise these with photos would be a big pull for them, would recommend this motel

Loved the location. Wonderful views and lots of interesting places to look at in Murchison. There was a Hang Gliding Regatta going on there during our short stay and we met some neat people while staying at the Motel.

6/10 Good

Extremely dated and small accommodation at a high price for what is provided. No space to put anything in the bathroom and the solitary sink is barely big enough to rinse your hands in. Bugs are also a massive problem and it's impossible to leave windows open without getting totally infested. Wifi was also poor with a maximum download speed of 5Mbps and very flaky connection. On the plus side it was very quiet. Glad we only stayed one night.

These quaint cabins are spectacularly clean with modern quality appliances. A perfect nights sleep in a secluded but convenient location. Try the The Cow Shed Restaurant! Never thought to find that good a dining experience in a little town like that.
