The food at the bistro was very tasty and the room was clean and comfortable, but the exterior of the property was in poor condition in places.

Need a total refurb, very old and dated
Stephen
Not easy to find where you book in.
Dining in was reasonable but it was crowded and service was slow. Credit card use attracted a 1.2% extra if used.

A comfortable stay in a quiet location
Very clean room with a comfortable bed. Room is alittle dated but great value for money. Rooms are located right next to the pub which has friendly staff and good food at reasonable prices.

Verified traveler
Great but a too bright
great location with easy access to Eildon and surroundings, all was very good except the room's porch lighting which is on all night and shines into the room - so room is only semi dark. For me tough to sleep.
Alistair
Really nice property and staff. The accommodation was clean, though a little dated. The bistro is excellent with a lot of food options, so very convenient for families and anyone stopping by or staying awhile.
Chris
Friendly customer service, nice clean big rooms, walking distance to the bistro, great food, area and people. Thanks Rubicon, you get my vote. See you again soon 👍👍👍👍👍

A small friendly motel, comfy beds and clean
Very wet outside for our stay. Given the muddy surrounds, an internal mat/ rack for mucky shoes would be good.

Nice quiet location. Value for money. Easy check in and parking at our door. Nice outdoor seating outside room.
A tad dated in decor but clean, fresh and well equipped room. One minute walk to bistro, bar and gaming room
Staff are just delightful over the entire venue. Thanks so much and we’ll definitely be back.

A real little gem. Rooms are basic but have everything you need for a short stay, spotlessly clean & cosy. The bistro is a great thing to have in such a small country staff & all the staff we interacted with at the bar & in the bistro were just fantastic. Great experience & would definitely stay again if in the area 👍

Cheap and cheerful accommodation.
Comfortable bed and good shower.
Too much light in room, no blind for small windows next to door.
Confusing entry, no signage for where to park when trying to find reception.
Excellent meals in restaurant.

Lovey pub
Lovely country pub vibes. FABULOUS meals and sports bar. Great vibes. Only negative would be the bed, rather old and rolled in the middle for 2 people not great. The front room light on the outside couldn’t be turned off and was on for most of the night. I had a sore back in the morning but that could just be me getting OLD. I would visit again despite my sleep but bring an eye mask. Thank you for my stay
Jennifer
Had exactly what we needed

Great Value and super friendly staff .
I had a fantastic stay at the Rubicon Motel . The staff were super helpful and I had a delicious meal at the attached hotel . The refurbed rooms were comfortable and a nice large modern TV . I'll be back for sure .

All good.

Last minute decision to stay overnight on my one day only road trip and a good decision. The room was nice and quiet, with a good shower stream and was clean. I drove in the dark, and it felt like in the middle of nowhere, but the motel had a pub, restaurant and bottle shop. I would stay again.

Bettina
A litte bit more difficult to get to the rooms now with the looped driveway partially closed, but still great :)
Anthony
Very convenient, friendly and helpful staff. Suited me perfectly hanks
Elizabeth
Not suited to overnight travellers, more of a hostel/resort setting, hard to find our way around after hard day driving.
Larissa
The guy at reception was friendly, and the only positive thing there. Checking in required walking through a crowded bar (not what you want after a lengthy drive). The room was dated and basic. The mattress and pillows were saggy. Huge cobwebs filled the corner near the aircon, and the mouldy shower was completed with a mouldy shower curtain.
The bistro staff were unpleasant and refused to bring my meals over to my room (despite plenty of staff standing around with sour looks and doing nothing. The meals were cheap and awful, and ridiculously overpriced. Being served spaghetti bolognese with TINNED bolognese and being charged $20 for it is disgraceful.
Overall, a really disappointing and overpriced stay. Absolutely do NOT recommend.

Very old un-renovated rooms, and despite others unoccupied, you're placed next door the occupied rooms. Bright flouro lights came on outside late and light streams into room. It's way overpriced for what you get. Was promised late check out but they changed that without telling me until I showed up.
Lachie
Staff were very friendly, place was very clean and it was great having pokies, bottle shop and bistro in the complex. The only thing I would like to see happen would be to have a microwave in the room.
