The unit itself was quite modern and clean and enough space to be comfortable.
The tub chairs in the room would suit children but not us 60 year olds.
The bed in the unit we had was very firm and lumpy, my hip has played up ever since.
Air con was a godsend.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
Pool was a great temperature on a hot day but the water was a bit murky.

Where other places have cut corners, this motel has maintained a great quality. Would be more than happy to stay here again next time we’re in Ballarat and have already recommended to others.
