Detailed Reviews
Traveling for business and needed somewhere to stay as a midway point, Booking was easy and accommodating to our special requests for room type and access to power for our large catering vehicle. Rooms were large and had everything you would need for the average stay. Motel is located next to a shopping centre and across the road from a 24/7 service station so no issues with the location and getting late night snacks. A good selection of pillows and the best shower I have had in years (the shower head could strip paint of old boards). Overall a great stay and would happily stay here again before checking out other options nearby.

It’s not much to look at from the street, but you’ll be very impressed if you stay. We were, right from the start, when Bruce made us a pot of tea while we waited for our room to be made up. It was early and we had just ridden 40km from Boyanup on the Munda Biddi trail. Next we had our bikes safely locked in the big shed and we were able to clean-up and relax in our very comfortable and spotlessly clean air conditioned room. Bruce and Lyn later served us a wonderful 3 course meal in their dinning room. All of the food was delicious, but Bruce’s homemade apple pie was exceptional. Thank you both very much. We’ll be baaack!

I enjoyed my overnight stay here. Although the restaurant wasn't open, the motel was centrally located near the local IGA and a short walk to the hotel and town. The rooms were clean, the service at the front was good, and it was quiet. I would stay here again.

Stayed here for 3 nights. It was full every night, due to it being the only place in town really. It was relatively clean, but don't expect anything too flash. Room wasn't serviced in 3 days, despite a note saying "please rinse out glasses and they will be replaced daily" in the room. Nothing was replaced. No niceties like shampoo, but at least there was soap. For $150 a night, I expect better - stayed in Sydney at a Quest for $140 a night and that was 5 star compared to this. It is adequate.

The bed and pillows were comfortable, however was disappointed as the tiling in the shower had mould growing in the corner and a half roll of toilet paper provided was inadequate. The dining room(which is advertised on their website is closed) and of the three food/restaurant menus in their information
folder are closed down. It would be a very good idea to update the website and the info provided in the rooms.

The room was clean, warm and quite spacious. Hosts Lynne and Bruce were so friendly and helpful. They offered us raincoats . As we had a trailer we were allocated a big parking spot avoiding the necessity to turn around. We enjoyed a healthy home cooked dinner at a very reasonable price. Overnight there was a storm and power was lost and in the morning our hosts insisted on cooking a full English type breakfast for us, using torch light and a gas stove top. The motel is located within walking distance to all the usual amenities .

Great location, very clean and comfortable room; close to cafes, restaurants, shops, wineries and is just a drive away from other towns. The room has a kettle, toaster, microwave, a fridge and crockery/cutlery. We had a lovely 5 nights stay and the owners Bruce and Lynne were exceptionally welcoming and helpful.

From the welcoming emails pre-stay to the cheerful greeting and arrival and the genuine waves on departure this was truly a real country stay for us. We were only an over nighter but we felt like old friends. Matching the hospitality was the presentation of the grounds and the rooms. Nothing looks neglected here, the gardens are neat and the pool sparkling. Although some decor was dated the room we had was spotless and everything worked and as a bonus there was plenty of spare pillows for those that need choice. We didn't have time to stay for breakfast but could smell the eggs and bacon when we checked out, maybe next time. Highly recommended if your passing through like us, but more than suitable for a longer stay too.

The Donnybrook Motel Motor Lodge is a very good, clean reliable place for an overnight stay or long weekend to tour the region. We stayed here whilst visiting friends and then traveled on to Bunbury for the midweek races the following day. We have stayed here previously and the Management are extremely helpful and friendly, the rooms are clean and comfortable and the Motel is ideally situated on the main street in Town.
My wife and I would happily recommend this motel to fellow travelers in the South West of WA.

We had a 2 x night stay and had never stayed in Donnybrook before, we have passed through plenty of times and stopped to get a few things for lunch from the bakery/cafes, which are pretty good too.
So was unsure of where to stay. I had never stayed in motels before either, usually opting for staying in a self contained detached style accommodation.
Reviews for The Donnybrook Motel motor Lodge were quite promising so decided to book.
I had great communications prior to staying and Bruce and Lynne were quite prepared to keep the office open later for me, as I didnt think I would arrive before closing.
They are both such genuine, wonderful hosts. You are made to feel very welcome and comfortable from the time you arrive.
The room we had was very clean very comfortable and location wise the motel is an easy stroll into the town centre.
Bruce and Lynne provide options for dinner and Breakfasts in their dining room attached the office. We opted for the Breakfast. You have the choice of continental or cooked breakfasts.
We both chose the cooked option and the scrambled eggs were bloody good, my partner's poached eggs were spot on as well. There are a few cafes out there that could take a leaf out of Bruce and Lynne's book for what a cooked breakfast should taste like.
The dining options in Donnybrook are pretty good as well. We arrived late the first night so only went out for dinner on our last night. We decided to go to the Riverside Cafe. We were pretty happy with the meal and service so wouldn't have any hesitations going back.
More than happy to stay again and am looking forward to another stay with Bruce and Lynne when next in the Donnybrook area.
