“Go to the Budget Motel next to the servo”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Can't understand this place, it's at a great location but the staff are lazy and very sloppy with their housekeeping. Dirty glasses and dishes all over the place. We were there on Australia Day and were kicked out at 8pm because the woman in charge didn't want to work. They whinge about no business but they don't get any because the locals know they close early so they go to the Tandarra at Triabunna. There were out of us in the bar one Friday night watching the footy and they kicked us out at half time because they didn't want to work!! The woman in the gaming room was quite rude too. We've stayed in the rooms before but wouldn't bother again, you're better off going to the Budget motel up the road, it's excellent.

Room Tip: The one we had was alright, but they're god awful colours and just a need a bit more care put in...

“Keep on driving”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

person found this review helpful

My wife and I stayed for two nights in Blue Waters Motel section several weeks ago and we will not return there. The room size was good but everything else was poor despite the attempts at cheap renovation. Out door furniture on a tiny pation is tired, old plastic and the table is crumbling. There is a sense of decay around the place except in the poker machine area. Also the price is what you would expect for a four star establishment and over the top for a one star place. So keep on driving somewhere else.

“Don't waste your money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2011

person found this review helpful

We had to pay our money up front, which is very clever, because you are then handed your keys to a chalet which is not very nice. Ancient plastic table and chairs outside, and old furniture and furnishings inside. And it was not cheap. We found the hotel locked when we tried to "check out" the next morning, but eventually the owner (I think) appeared at the door in his night attire - it was 0930! - and took the key, grumpily. This was not a hotel I would ever visit again.

Room Tip: Go elsewhere
