Upon arrival at the motel we were concerned , it is currently undergoing major reconstruction and renovation, this is not mentioned in the motels site listing on Expedia. It looks like a demolition site and we were not even sure if we had the right place.
Upon finding the office a friendly enough gentleman checked us in and sort of apologised for the state of the place.
Our room in the remaining block of units was clean and tidy, the only real issue being the tv not working, which turned out to be the power points on that side of the room not working, which required a long extension cord to be supplied.
Overall the stay was clean and comfortable and quiet.
More communication about the condition of the overall motel would be nice.
I would still recommend it as a place to stay.

This motel is quite old and needs a refurbish. Although the room was spacious it needed some work. As a side note we could not get mobile coverage or internet access. It does have a nice rear aspect with a walking path and view over the lake.

The door lock on the room I was allocated was very flimsy; with no option of a back up lock or additional security measure. Had someone wanted to, the door could easily have been kicked in. The door lock on the balcony door was also flimsy, albeit this door had a doorchain as a back up locking option. There was also a very strong musty odour throughout the room.

Overall this is a very run down property externally / photos are decieving . When showering water leaked out onto bathroom floor so stood on wet mat.The kitchette area was tiny just outside the bathroom. Room looked like it wasfreshly painted but rushed with paint on the bathroom windows and marks on the walls. It was very disappointing as l went by the reviews and ended up cancelling the next room booked at this property and rebooked elsewhere.

The room itself was clean and the bed was comfortable. The whole place needs some TLC, which usually doesn’t bother me if the room is OK. However, standing in reception on arrival, being ignored, while a craggy old man in his boxers deals with other business. Put some pants on for F sake!

All you need

The hotel was very well located, with a really good porch or outdoor seating area overlooking the river. It was quiet and restful, but close to shops and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed our stay.
The building is dated, but the rooms and bathrooms have been updated, and it has all you need.

Suited to our trip for a wedding.

Suited to what we needed, shame no pool. Bed comfy, shower way too small! Tv great and quiet area with nice river frontage. Building very old an upgrade would be better and worth the charged rate. Must be a high crime area due to windows and doors pretty badly patched up and missing important lock features.
A night or two is ok. I wouldn’t recommend family friendly, very close to water and no fencing.

Overall the hotel was a good place to reside for a couple of nights.The room was spacious and very clean.The bed was very comfortable.It was just a few minutes walk to the restaurants.Also it had a seemingly unlimited walking path alongside the lake which I found very pleasant.The only flaw was the shower door which allowed water to escape on the bathroom floor when taking a shower.Overall I would recommend to people as a great reasonably priced motel to stay a few nights.

Disgusting smell in bathroom of a night, coming from the drains. Had to keep door shut to try and stop smell coming into the bedroom, not much luck with that! Also unable to lock door, had to leave it unlocked to go out and then sleep. Manager came next morning to fix it. No handle on door to outside area, had to make sure it didn't slam, otherwise would have been locked out. Whole motel needs a facelift, very shabby looking! Very expensive for what it is.

Room was a lot smaller than in pictures
Air conditioning was broken (not great for middle of winter) tiny fan heater supplied instead
Bonus. Great hot water pressure

Our fourth stay. Disappointed this time. Leaking shower over bathroom floor, toilet bowl lifted off floor, biscuits on first night but none on next two days. Wet towels not replaced. Had to use bath mat to wipe up wet floor but never replaced.

Very quiet. Pub over bridge does good deals at night.

Smelly carpets, wash basin was leaking, water from the shower was coming out of the drain in the bathroom. Such a terrible experience and a complete waste of money.

The shower leaked onto the floor of the bathroom and then into the hallway. The toilet gurgled and nearly overflowed each time it was flushed and the shower head dripped most of the night.

When I arrived to this Motel I was denied any accommodation because they claim i booked the wrong day when clearly my invoice says it was between the 30th of January to the 31st of January. This is the worst booking experience ever.

Lovely hotel right on the lake. Our room was clean comfortable and fresh. Plenty of dining options within walking distance and great walking paths for a stretch or watching the sunset. We would definitely recommend as a comfortable convenient place to stay.

We loved the room for our family of 4. Plenty of bedding and towels. The bathroom and kitchenette seemed to have been recently renovated, and had everything we needed. The only slightly frustrating thing that was the ironing board was a miniature one, which was difficult to use, and there was no ideal place to use it, near a power point, in the room. Otherwise, it was great - thank you.

We drive from Melbourne to Gold Coast and back several times a year and Hibiscus, with its riverside location, beautiful views, clean, spacious rooms and proximity to cute town and dining choices is our favourite stop over. Now we have discovered they also have a Tesla charger and it’s totally sealed the deal. Thank you for lovely stop over.

We received the incorrect room! Staff say it was WOT IFs problem but after contacting WOTIF they say that it was correct and Motel should accommodate our booking. Nothing happened. Staff member was rude and dismissed my booking reservation.
No phone reception in room, there was WIFI but not very strong. It was close to restaurants and it was nice to be able to hear waves crashing in the still of night.

The staff were very friendly and accomodating they are very pleasant however this place is very outdated and the kitchenette isn’t family friendly the only sink is the bathroom one so you have to do your dishes in the bathroom sink the area is lovely and the lake at the back is beautiful it’s a shame that the owners lack updating this place it has so much potential the fridge is very small & no hot plate only a microwave this place needs maintenance and an update bed wheel was broken and a brick was used to level it I expect more then this

Great stopover

Overnight stopover on the road from Melbourne to Gold Coast. Really appreciated the lovely lake view. Bed was comfortable and appreciated the big refillable packs of toiletries instead of the silly disposable bottles. Lovely location on the walking path around lake.
