upon arriving at the property I was told that they didn't have any rooms available despite wotif confirming my booking earlier that day. The person at reception was apologetic and help me find a more expensive alternative but it was disappointing none the less. It was not clear whether the hotel or wotif were responsible.

Our room was very outdated compared to others ive stayed in. Our bathroom sink was disgusting. The room smelt odd to start with and there is minimal air flow. Two tiny windows. Bed was very wobbly and way to soft. I put a review on when we arrived. The owner then decided to come and speak to me about it. She knocked and just barged in she was the most rudest person ever! Defiantly not how you run a business. I told her it was my opinion because I’ve stayed at other places around Bairnsdale and this was in comparison. She was loud mouthed and didn’t like anything I had to say. So rude!! Never will be staying there again.

When we booked they advertised they had a microwave but there was no microwave. Also the heating was too old and sounded like a jet engine and was inefficient so it was not comfortable.

Ideal for overnight travel.

The motel, although being old, was clean, comfortable and convenient for an overnight stay when travelling. It was true to its name- ‘Travellers Rest’ Recommend Rustic Ranch Eats, the restaurant next door to the motel.

Not suitable for our needs.

Distinct lack of drawers and shelves to store clothes, etc. Inadequate hanging space for the number of outfits we needed. Car park so small that it was necessary to reverse out onto the busy highway on one occasion, due to the car park being nearly full.

conveniently sited

Motel was convenient, close to shops etc. Facilities very clean, basic room and bathroom. Bed comfortable. Husband and wife owners friendly. Breakfast offered at extra charge. No microwave in room - drawback. Motel quiet, despite being in midtown. Small - only 15 rooms, which I liked - less patrons to make noise at night!

.. Adequate and inexpensive

The Travellers Rest Motel has a name that is well suited to this establishment as it's no resort, but perfect for a short stay, to rest and be on your way.. The rooms are small and quite dated, but clean and adequately equipped .. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rates are reasonable .. I'd stay there again as a stopover point or if I needed a bed for the night in Bairnsdale ..
