Our choice in Echuca

We stay here each time we visit Echuca. It's a brisk walk from shops, cafes, restaurants. But very quiet at night. We choose it because the reception is always exceptionally friendly & accommodating. Guaranteed cleanliness, comfortable bed & convenience if location & price.

this motel was exactly what we wanted. A convenient Echuca overnight stay which didnt cost a fortune and was clean and comfortable and well maintained. It is an older motel. The staff were lovely and I especially liked getting some fresh milk for tea and coffee. Many much fancier motels only give you the options of the packaged long life milk. We appreciated our comfortable stay there!

We booked for 2 nights and only stayed one because the owner kicked us out because we had an extra person in our room and didn’t let him know (was midnight) then he said we got noise complaints at 4:30am when we weren’t even awake at the time… He took 50$ out of my account for the additional person even though it says on the terms and conditions that’s it’s $18 extra per person. Also only refunded 50$ even though we only stayed the 1 night… will definitely not recommend this place or be back here again.

Older motel with basic rooms. Bed was very hard. Room was clean and had everything I needed. Neighboring room was noisy as was the road. Happy overall as I was looking for a budget motel.

Best cooked breakfast 😁

Hosts were some of the best I’ve seen, couldn’t do enough for us. And the cooked breakfast delivered to the room each morning was absolutely superb and probably the best value I’ve had in a long time. Older motel but very clean and tidy, and well maintained. Highly recommend, great value.
