The family room perfectly accommodated our family of 3 young kids, who thoroughly enjoyed the pool! It was neat, conveniently located, and had everything we needed for a short stay. The little kitchen amenities were helpful too, although as usual in a motel it is inconvenient to have only the bath taps to use for eating purposes as well. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. A great stop-over!

Stayed 2 nights at this motel. Room clean but with a slight sweet smell from the cleaning chemicals (if you have any sensitivities). Generous with toiletries, tea, coffee and biscuits. Microwave and fridge, kettle and toaster provided Lots of power points were a plus. Receptionist was nice.

Tanjil Motor Inn is great for a short stay or an overnighter. It's clean, the hot water is reliable and continuous, and the one-way vehicle access is easy in and out and convenient to Bairnsdale's main street. Definitely my go-to for the next visit ! Annie P.

I was greeted in the office by a dog who jumped on me which wasn't very pleasant. We found a lot of long black hair on the tiles in the wet areas and kitchenette area. Didn't even dare to look on the carpet. The shower floor and walls were a shambles, dirty all over. A bottle of domestos would probably fix this. We decided not to stay and just move on with our travels. Definitely not a place I would come back to.

Good overnight stay. Strong smell of ‘Glen’ 20 quite over powering. Smoking area should be well away from the rooms. As neighbours smoked and it wafted into our room. Owner was obliging and let us have access early even tho the room wasn’t quite ready.

I have stayed here a number of times. It is in a great location and is clean. This stay I was in a room closer to the office and could hear more road noise than usual (from the main road, not sure if because it was the weekend and the goons were out). Next time I will request to stay further back.

Overall the room was very clean so gets a thumbs up for this but the bed was absolutely awful, could feel the springs and was so hard that I had a terrible nights sleep. Also I got the room with the spa for an overdue relaxing soak but didn’t happen as the hot water ran out before it even reached the jets so I resorted to boiling the kettle quite a few times just to get a bit of warmth. So a huge thumbs down for that 👎

No book in room to tell you how to order breakfast as they clearly have a sign out front telling you they serve cooked breakfast. Or anything to tell you where to eat or order in etc. Light kept flickering above bed. Absolute doozy of a mouth from cleaning staff obviously not happy with fellow staff and yelling and swearing. Otherwise stay was good.
