Rooms are uncommonly large, and the very high ceilings make it easy to relax and not feel caged in. Soundproofing from outside noise as well as from room to room is fantastic. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Ballarat's true gem, you have to check it out.

A couple of things needed fixing but were not a problem. The lighting is dull, not bright. There needs to be a lamp on the table. The room I had this time needed more bench space and the TV was smaller than other rooms I've stayed at in this motel. I'm happy enough here and rebook regularly.
