Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

After a bad experience with an online booking agency I was put in contact with Paula from the Eden Motel and she was awesome. Nothing was too difficult for her and after a very short time we had accommodation settled for Good Friday. The room had a queen bed and two single beds and all the mattresses were excellent - not the saggy type you get in some motels. The room was exceptionally appointed with a microwave, kettle, toaster and even a portable hotplate with saucepans and the required utensils - quite unusual for a motel. The premises also has a gym, day room and an indoor pool.
The staff were brilliant and friendly and I cannot recommend this place highly enough. JUST AWESOME.
THANKS

Clean and comfortable family room, with large queen size bed, and two single beds perfect for our family of four. The room was spotless and thoughtfully designed to meet our needs as a traveling family, with complimentary WiFi, toiletries, towels, hair dryer, kettle, plates, bowls, cutleries and coffee/tea. The laundry room, gym and pool were plus. Reception was very friendly and welcoming. It is also close to the Eden attractions and town. Highly recommend this motel!

Booked a triple room staying with 2 teens & 2 dogs & I could not have been more impressed.

With it being a room animals can stay in I wasn’t sure what we’d find.

This room was immaculate, so comfortable, insanely clean & the bed was delightful to sleep in.

We stayed at the back of the motel room 24 & it was quiet & security cameras gave me piece of mind as I was in a Ute with only a soft cover on the back & had left a few items in there.

Grassed area for our dogs to walk & toilet if need be close to our room which was room & car parked outside your room.

Holly was an absolute delight to deal with.

I called to book directly to help with fees added on by websites to ensure all monies stayed with the motel & Holly graciously waved an animal fee for us 💗

I also called on the day of our stay to say would we wouldn’t be there till after hours. Holly could not have been more lovely & after paying over the phone, Holly text me all the details how to get the key from the locked box & gave me her number to contact if any problems. Holly also lives on site so huge added bonus if we needed her.

The room looked amazing - white sheets, grey doona & aqua blue cushions, floating wooden floor & basic tidy furnishings. The room also had fluffy clean towels, a thick bath mat, face washers, makeup remover washer, hand towels - the works 💙. The room also has a little kitchenette, long desk/bench area with 3 modern plastic black chairs, which made a great spot to work/eat in your room & the room had with a microwave & fridge. Cupboard/luggage area & opening window with fly screen for a nice breeze. Table & chairs out the front of room too. Didn’t get a chance to venture a round too much but did walk up to a clean tidy bbq area. We didn’t get to view the gym & indoor pool space.

This motel was fabulous & I will definitely stay here again on my travels!

Thank you Holly five 🌟 ‘S

This is our return trip to this motel in Eden. We stayed two nights in November 2022 and returned for five nights in February 2023. We found the facilities on both occasions very clean, comfortable and everything you need is supplied if you wish to have a meal in your unit or its a short walk to the club for a meal or a few minutes in the car to the centre of Eden for a meal. For us, being pet friendly meant our cavaliar cross could join us in the room, on holidays, which was great!. There is also BBQ facilities and an indoor pool & gym for exercise. It is a great location as it is a short walk to the Rusty Plough cafe & to the beautiful Lake Curalo Boardwalk which we enjoyed during our stay. A futher walk along the Boardwalk gives you direct access to Aslings Beach for a swim. The Hosts are very friendly and accommodating to make your stay as pleasant as possible. We enjoyed it so much we are booked again in September 2023 for overnights stays on way to & from seeing friends in Victoria.

Staying in this motel in Eden during Christmas of 2021 (24-27 Dec) while vacationing in Eden, we were completely surprised and truly mesmerised by this motel. Honestly, this motel redefines the concept of motels! The location is just off the main thoroughfare, hence all the tranquility and peace immediately relaxes and makes you feel welcomed and at home. The rooms are completely furnished with floorboard finish, perfect decor, soft and cosy beds with enough pillows, silent new air conditioning, almost new toilet and bathrooms, small kitchenette with microwave, toaster and cutleries, mini fridge, iron, cub board, tv and plenty of toiletries. The rooms are spotless and clean, takes all the covid anxieties away! The motel has gym, indoor heated small swimming pool, guest laundry services and a separate bbq area at the back where people can just relax and cook their food with a beer to relax. And to top it all, the hosts at the reception (Scot and his team) are just awesome. So surprised this is not higher rated than what it is now. All guest rooms are on the ground floor, so no hassle of dragging your luggage up the stairs!

Just a small improvement, while guest cars can be comfortably parked in front of the guest rooms, there are no markings indicating the parking spots. While it should not be a problem for most guests, some guests like to encroach the space of the adjacent guests parking spots. It then becomes a discussion or a debate between guests which can be easily avoided if parking are marked!

Definitely an awesome motel and would recommend anyone visiting Eden.

My daughter and I stayed 1 night at this motel. The rooms were one of the cleanest I have stayed in and we travel a lot. The towels where a lovely Aqua instead of traditional white which may seem random to comment on but the presentation of the room and colours used really made you appreciate the little things. I liked them. The room was well laid out and the bed so comfortable I don’t think o slept so well in years. The location was quiet and we travelled with our dog and this is the clincher for those that travel with their pets, your dog can sleep in the room with you for $8..
There is an outside area for your dog to run and dig in and the pool is nice and warm. My daughter made some friends strait away so she was super happy. When I first booked I was coming before check in and asked to use the parking as, as stated we had a party to attend and the management made an early check in possible for us. Seriously first class service all the way. Though the amenities are a little dated the service and rooms are wonderful. A great stay and we will definitely be staying again. Thank you!!

The room was clean and comfortable. It was a good size so that you were not constantly tripping over your suitcase. Holly was very welcoming and went above and beyond. Definitely recommended.
The kitchenette was well equipped to prepare a simple meal.

At first glance I thought the motel was a little dated on the outside but the room was lovely, clean and fresh and the bed was comfy. The bathroom was lovely and clean and probably one of the cleanest I have stayed at there attention to detail here is applaudable, no mouldy corners or shower hinges that get missed in most places.
I would highly recommend staying here.

The rooms were neat and well catered, service was attentive and friendly and the indoor heated swimming pool just what we needed after a long day driving.

Whilst slightly out of town, the location was quite pleasant, being quiet and easily accessible.

What a fabulous surprise this motel turned out to be. Travelling with 3 teenagers and 2 dogs my expectations were not high but Eden motel ticked every box. The rooms felt modern and fresh and were as good as any 4 star hotel room I've stayed at - spotlessly clean, crisp clean linen on beds and every amenity one could ask for - the kitchenette was compact yet very well stocked, the bathroom clean and spacious, the TV was large with a sofa in room to sit on and plenty of room for the dog beds. The motel has a large gym area including table tennis which my son and doughier loved plus an indoor pool which was a lovely surprise. The staff were so lovely and helpful and the price very reasonable around Christmas time. Location is just opposite a boardwalk that takes you via the lake to the beach and very close to town. Will DEFINITELY stay here again and would recommend it to anyone. Thankyou
