Our room was extremely HOT as it was upstairs, it was like an oven. The air conditioner thermostat obviously didn't work as it was so cold and blustery- even when set to 24. We all came away with sniffly noses and sore throats. May as well shower in the dark as the Bathroom light was so dull. The entrance door... More

We recently visited Forbes to attend a friends wedding over New Years.The motel is in a good location, a short walk from town on the opposite side of the river. We found the owner to be friendly and helpful, assisting us in locating where the reception was going to be held. The room was a standard queen which we found... More

We arrived very tired and were expecting the usual basic motel accommodation. The only recommendation that Lakes Forbes has is it's cleanliness. Our standard room was claustrophobically small and uncomfortable and the bathroom was unbelieveably tiny as to be almost unusable. Very very basic in all aspects.

Thank you for your review. The room that you stayed in are smallest rooms in our motel, this is reflected in the lower tariff. We have two rooms of this configuration and are marketed to the budget traveller. We have 14 more rooms that are of different configurations and prices and are much larger than our budget rooms with bathrooms... More

We were met by the friendly owner and quickly shown to our room which had everything we needed for an overnight stay - including a toaster. The twin room is smaller than average but has KING SINGLE comfortable beds and looks like it has been recently refurbished. Everything was spotless. The family room is large, bright and welcoming. The grounds... More

Stayed for one night recently and found it to be a clean, comfortable motel in a lovely setting near the river. Managers were very helpful and provide home cooked meals if you dont feel like going out to eat. Only issue I had was proximity to highway with noisy trucks going by during the night. Also many of buildings look... More

The room was very small but since, I have had smaller. It was spot less except for the space where you lift the phone from its cradle. Blind spot but also one of the most common areas to pass on viruses and disease. While I was quietly checking emails the smoke alarm went off without warning. The owner came with... More

Half way between Melbourne and Queensland this motel was the ideal stopover. We had a cool, comfortable, clean room overlooking a reserve and the Forbes Lake. This is just a part of the river system with lovely walks all round it. The RSL club in Forbes was a great place for dinner and we had our own breakfast with us.... More
