Hilltops Retreat Motor Inn

What guests think

At Hilltops Retreat Motor Inn, travellers frequently praise clean, spacious rooms and friendly, welcoming staff, with many noting a quiet setting slightly out of town that suits work trips or stopovers and generally provides comfortable beds and a restful night.

Several reviews, however, describe dated exteriors and untidy gardens, with some maintenance issues in rooms or amenities. On-site dining is not operating, so guests often drive into town for meals. A practical choice if you’re comfortable with an older property.

Overall the stay was ok. However the property is quite dated, areas such as the gardens need a lot of work done to bring them up to scratch, and safety areas such as the test and tag need to be updated as they are six years out of date.

This place needs a bit of TLC. It was clean enough and comfortable but a bit shabby on the outside .it did smell of cigarette smoke, but we suspect that smoke has entered via the bathroom window. Shower amenities were broken or not working. The garden has not been attended to for a long time. Broken furniture was right outside the back door and the pool is covered with a dirty looking cover. Not keen to see what was underneath. Restaurant isn’t working, but I do understand that there is a lack of workers at the moment. We were given 2 towels - because they were tiny towels. Wifi didn’t work with the password supplied. We wouldn’t go back.

This place is just thoroughly run down and in need of either a massive make over, or a bull dozer. From the rear door screen door which we found on the ground when we arrived, to the mismatched cornices in the room (poor handyman work right there), to the three foot high weeds in the “decorative” garden beds, to the advertised on premise restaurant that no longer exists. Then there is the being given a physical key on arrival and realising after two days that the “sticky door that we had to shove against firmly” was actually us breaking in to our room. Only prior to night three did the proprietor give us the correct magnetic lock access card. lol. We booked and paid for an additional person via our online booking and yet the proprietor tried initially to charge an extra $60 for our third person. It’s just a sad run down place.

This property was obviously under new management and it appears it had been let run down. Found it extremely clean and the staff went above and beyond to make it stay pleasant. They were quick to answer and respond to requests. It is a bit out of town so driving is required but had very quiet and pleasant surroundings.

The property was clean, but very rundown. The grass was long and the garden beds were full of weeds. There were even big potholes in the driveway. There is no food available, so I had to go into town to get breakfast. The motel is very tired and in need to a full renovation.

We had a one night's stay in Young at the Hilltops Retreat Motor Inn. It's a little at of town but nice accommodation. Our room (10) was quite a good size that had a comfortable two seater lounge, a table and two chairs. The bathroom was set out well and had a good shower. Everything we needed was in good working order and the bed was really comfortable. Parking was right at our door and although it's on the main road it was quiet. The room could do with a freshen up but it was clean and spacious. We can recommend the Hilltop Retreat Motor Inn to anyone travelling through the area. We will stay with them next time.

Owner was very welcoming. For the price I paid, I was very underwhelmed. Hair in the bedsheets. Pubes on the toilet seat. Thick cobwebs on a broken, crooked picture frame directly above the bed. And the air-con heating was broken, so I froze. Pillows were rock hard too, but that's personal preference. Wifi worked well. Room was nice and big.

Rooms used as party rooms. Multiple calls to reception who visited the room and asked to quiet down at midnight. Then multiple visits after that however guests continued to party and owners said we cannot do anymore as Police are unavailable to attend after midnight so the party continued. I moved rooms was the solution.
