Nice and comfortable. The wifi didn't work and no-one ans2ered at reception. Other than that, it's exactly what it says on the can. Comfy motel. You can hear the neighbours. Nice and spacious. I'd go back.

Clean, friendly staff, easy check in, affordable rate.
We arrived late on a cold rainy night, it was lovely to open the door to a warm room, a light left and milk in the fridge.

An older facility, but I have never stayed in a motel, hotel or other accommodation, that has been as clean and neat.
Also, just the smaller things make a difference, coffee, milk, biscuits and mints 😃
And of course all the additional items you would hope and expect to see, but don’t in some others.

White crisp sheets!
We have always found Colonial motels reliable and this was no exception. Everything was very clean and well presented including crisp white sheets Minor gripe was that bed needed slight re-positioning to facilitate access to sockets for charging phone etc. Can recommend local RSL for dinner

This is the second time we’ve stayed at The Colonial for a function we’ve attended in Bairnsdale. Family rooms are spacious and very well equipped. Lots of little extras which are lovely. Rooms are quiet, even though it is on the Main Street, and the lady on reception was so nice. Will be back again next year.

Beautiful. So surprised that they go the 1% ers. Such as a power board with multiple usb ports. Makeup remover wipes, fresh milk, shower caps and extra towels l would highly recommend
Graeme
Nice hotel
The hotel was slightly further away from the town centre than I'd appreciated though it's still walkable. It was clean and comfortable with parking for each unit. The laundry facilities were a bonus that we were glad to have as we were on a 1 month trip.
Christopher
Great place to stay. Comfortable bed. Staff where awesome. Close to RSL club
Wilfred van
Staff were friendly, property was well mainyained aand clean as were the amenities. It was resonably close to dining places and shopping.
As it is on the main highway there was a fair bit of traffic noise, but not enough to stop you sleeping.

It was everything one would expect from a great country motel.
Alexandra
Debbie was exceptional, friendly and great at what she does. Room was spotless, spacious and comfortable with good lighting. Bed was very comfortable. Little extra touches like the lollies, makeup face washer, extra towels in cupboard if you needed them, nice choice of teas, decent coffee, little bottles of real milk and full stocked mini bar if you are in to them, just to name a few, were all really nice. Even the spare blanket was wrapped up in a blanket bag. Easy parking outside room. Was a great 2 night stay. Will definitely stay there again and recommend to others.
Pip
This motel was perfect for an overnight stop on our long drive. Immaculately clean, spacious rooms with everything you could need. Debbie was a friendly and helpful host too. I wasn't expecting much because the price was so reasonable - but it exceeded every expectation and I'd definitely stay again. Thank you Debbie. We loved our little stop-over.
Kevin
Friendly reception, room was spotless and comfortable
Linet
2 nights King Room 9
Surprisingly, no guest information folder in room so had to keep popping to reception to ask for recommendations for places to eat, etc. Clean and comfortable bed, pillows, sofa and chairs. Small table and 2 chairs outside the door (under cover) - great for enjoying a cold drink after a very hot day! Air con very good and quiet. Guests can use the washing machine and dryer, also a very useful pull-out hanging line in the bathroom. WiFi was great plus lots of USB sockets. Don't know if they do breakfasts as advertised as we weren't offered any. Microwave, kettle, toaster, etc in kitchenette with a proper kitchen sink. Plenty of crockery and cutlery provided. Good size under counter fridge was well stocked. A little road noise but the motel is conveniently just off the A1 Princes Highway. Would definitely stay here if in the area again. One suggestion - provide guests with a separate bin for recycling plastics etc?
Bill
Very clean and well maintained.
Michael
Most impressed by the ease with which we checked in.
Property was very clean and tidy and everything worked which is not our experience of other motels we have stayed in. It has been a pleasure to stay there and hope we can visit again sometime in the future.
