ORBOST MOTEL

ORBOST MOTEL

10/10 Excellent
"I and my husband stayed here a year ago and had no hesitation in rebooking for our latest trip as we were absolutely blown away by this "unassuming " motel. The staff were friendly and the rooms were amazing. It was well stocked and the prices for the food offered in the rooms were not astronomical as in many other motels we've stayed in. We will definitely be staying here again on our trips between Wollongong and Melbourne."

"The bedding hadn't been changed in a while, found hairs on pillows & on sheets. Lucky we took our own pillows & blankets. The DVD player didn't work and I needed to google how to operate the set top box for the tv. Needs better cooling even with the fans & aircon it was still hot in the property The area was beautiful, the caves was the reason for going there. Not much choice with food, the pubs lack of choice was disappointing. The general store wasn't the greatest either to shop at to cook a decent meal. shopping in a major town before heading is highly recommended. "
