There isn't much choice for travel accommodation in Norseman so it usually comes down to a choice of one or two places. The Great Western is probably the best one. Being on the northern side of town, it has some separation from the vagrant locals and howling dogs which are on the other side. The rammed earth walls are great... More

Their website states "Norseman Great Western is Norseman's premier motel." but even without seeing what other accommodation is in Norseman, would not quite rate this motel with that. When we arrived in mid afternoon, we were unable to check-in because the person attending reception had had to go down the street to do some shopping for the restaurant - as... More

Beds like trampolines, needed spraying for the bugs, shower toilet- seen better at caravan parks, noisy airconditioner that kept the room just ok. Provide toaster but no plates or cutlery ??? what the ? but on the whole was grateful to not have to... More

Stayed overnight on 12th Jan 2012, room was clean and had all the neccessities but very outdated and airconditioner was noisy. A little overpriced but you really dont have any choice when you cross the Nullabor, it is disappointing that all the accommodation in this area takes advantage of overpricing, just for a bed. More

For the location (in a town rather than out on the Nullarbor) I expected more from this place, at the cost. My room was comfortable but had dozens of flies in it when I checked in. Maybe difficult to avoid in this climate but I haven't experienced that anywhere else. The fixtures in the room were lacking - as someone... More

Stayed in a lodge room which was very spacious, clean and I enjoyed a uninterupted sleep in the comfy bed. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Will defintely stay here again - perfect place to 'crash' after a Nullabor crossing. More

For $100 a night I was pretty happy with this joint. Comfy beds, really quiet due to rammed earth walls and friendly staff. Room has kettle, toaster etc even a couple of wine glasses. Spares pillows and blankets. Nice bathroom. TV signal can be dodgy. I was a bit concerned when I read the review about Microwave food etc, but... More

Good clean facilities. Only thing lacking was some benchspace, due to the reinforced earth room construction. A good quiet night's stay. More

Stayed here twice in three months of travelling on the road across Oz. You know when your meal is coming when you hear the microwave "ding". Everything is zapped and only ate enough to keep hunger pains away. Second stay on way back there was maggots crawling from the wall skirting board across the bathroom basin along with a putrid...

We travelled from Perth to Queensland for Christmas, and we all thought this was the best hotel we stayed at. The Hotel has comfortable beds, nice clean rooms and friendly staff. The restaurant also had lovely food, just make sure you book in for tea or you could miss out!! I wouldn't hesitate staying here again! More
