The motel was adequate. It was very dated and in need of some repairs and upkeep inside and out. Our toilet started to leak after a couple of uses during the night and we had to put towels down to soak up the water.

Bell Tower Inn

The room was a good size and plenty of space. Had issue with the kitchenet area and was reported. Great location and only 4kms from Lake Wendouree, went to see fireworks new years eve. Had an indoor pool and had a dip each night. I would highly recommend this Inn.
