What guests think

Across reviews, Bushmans Motor Inn is a simple highway stopover with generally clean rooms and good convenience, but recurring themes include dated decor and noticeable traffic noise that can disrupt sleep, leading to mixed impressions overall.

Service feedback is split between friendly, helpful interactions and issues like absent reception, booking mishaps, and strict cancellation policies. Guests appreciate on-site parking and simple in-room extras such as a microwave or toaster, while some report noisy or faulty air-conditioners and occasional lighting problems. Expect an older, no-frills motel suited to short stopovers.

It was a pleasant stay in a spacious room. The parking on site was a great positive. The room also had a microwave and toaster, which were useful. The room was clean and well maintained. The location was excellent, right at the start of the city and close to parks and shopping centres.

This motel has seen better days but for the price it was good value. Heating and shower worked ok and TV was easy to operate. There was plenty of UHT milk in the fridge, which also worked ok. Beds were comfortable.

I could not fault the service and cleanliness of this motel - everything worked that I needed, including hot water and pressure in the shower. However, the bathroom very dated, floortiles in the shower badly worn.

Very dated and run down for $187 (1 night stay). Couldn’t turn light in bathroom on as exhaust fan rattled very loudly. Dead moths in wall light shades. All furniture and fittings in poor condition. If much less I would accept you get what you pay for but $187 is too high.

Cutlery dirty, dusty and didn’t use the shower. beds old and when you’re lying down you’re rolling off. Charges like a 4 star but this hotel is a 2 star right beside a truck stop, can’t get a good night sleep.

Sadly the room did not live up to the photos advertising this property. The windows were coated in cobwebs and dead flies and the vanity basin was badly chipped. The bedside lights on the wall were hanging and had apparently been disconnected. The young man who attended to us was very polite and helpful.

Do not stay at this Motel. It has Cockroaches in the units, It is a dilapidated establishment and is not worthy of its current rating, It bears a sign on front of establishment indicating Restaurant but they do not provide meals - not even breakfast. Cannot recommend this estrablishment.

For what we needed - a convenient, clean and comfortable overnight stay on our way to Sydney from Melbourne - our family room at Bushmans Retreat Motor Inn ticked all our boxes. Yes the place might be on the older side but it was clear the owners are still looking after it, our room probably one of the cleanest spaces we have stayed in in Australia.

Went to book the hotel and hotel website said it crashed and an error occurred tried to rebook and advised no suitable accommodation available so stayed elsewhere. Then when I checked my booking it turned out I double booked. Rang the establishment straight away to cancel and the rude owner said the cancellation fee was the full amount. The owner was so rude I would suggest stay here at your own risk. I will be telling everyone I know never ever stay here. Shocking service, bad owners, poor form.
