Paruna Motel

What guests think

At Paruna Motel, travelers highlight a central Swan Hill location and very clean rooms, with some renovated and comfortable spaces, while noting the property’s basic, older feel in places, off site check in, and recurring disposable cup and cutlery setup.

Many appreciate the value and proximity to shops, dining, and the riverfront. Feedback on rooms is mixed, with some noting hard or worn mattresses, dated decor, and occasional noise or maintenance issues, while others report quiet stays and modern refits. On-site features like a small pool, BBQs, and parking are handy, though the grounds could use more upkeep. Overall, expect a budget-friendly stay in a very convenient spot.

Cozy room with the basics. There is a small pool located on the property as well. Wood paneling on the walls made loud cracking noises during the night, but otherwise the bed was comfy and we slept well. No reception/check-in on site, so key retrieval through a lockbox. 16 rooms in total.

All good, I would stay there again no worries. My only suggestion is like most motels in the area it would be nice to have a flywire door on the units as Swan Hill gets a lot of flies and mozzies. So you could leave the inside door open when the weather is nice. Apart from that minor point, very happy with my overnight stay (work trip).

We had a Family room. I was very happy. It was basic but excellent value for money. I requested extra towels and pool towels be placed in our room and they were. This is a great hotel. We used the pool and BBQ. Not the pay BBQ we lost a $1 but the other BBQ worked fine.

Room was very nice, bed was slightly hard for me, but that can’t be helped. Plenty of tea, coffee, bathroom supplies etc. I didn’t mind the throwaway cutlery and crockery - at least you know they’re clean! Parking is directly out the front and checking in was easy as! Would happily book again!

Had an overnight stay, there is no reception on site and found that a little odd. The motel is decently clean, the room was small but fine for one night. The bed was really hard, my husband couldn't sleep as his hip was hurting from the mattress. The motel was very affordable and is quite basic, hence the price.

Room was very clean , as advertised was the standard room that had not been upgraded and that was correct.. Things did not like. Bed lamp did not work, switch was duct taped over. Frig freezer even though turned up did not keep stuff frozen. Ceiling light was fairly useless. Bed mattress was past its use by date ,chairs had no padding. Hot water and shower excellent. Overall OK for price charged. We stayed 5 nights.

Room was very outdated i felt we were back in 1970. Bathroom basin has rust stain around drain. I was not happy with grey coloured towels as you cannot see if they are clean or not. Room was very dark with very little natural light. Bed was comfortable . Desperately needs an update. I believe it was overpriced for what we got

We had a lovely stay. Spacious family room. Within walking distance to shops and riverfront. Check-in could be improved though e.g provide a welcome pack that details wifi info and check-out instructions as there was no reception on site. Overall, we would come back and recommend it to our friends.

The room was clean and tidy to a standard that you can expect. A little bit of noise is noticeable, but nothing to prevent me from getting to sleep. Checking in was done where I received an SMS advising of my room number & code to access the key. My only problem is I didn't clearly notice the slot opening to retrieve my key, but I got there in the end. It is also walking distance to grab a quick bite to eat from down the street. I would stay there again.

I travel to Swan Hill every 2 weeks. I like to stay at the Paruna as it is close to where I need to be. However....I will not be staying there again. 2 stays in a row when I woke in the morning my door was open. I left a note and spoke with the cleaners (as the managers are not on site, ever!). No one got back to me with any type of acknowledgement/excuse/reason as why this might happen. This stay I could not regulate the shower, the hot water kept dropping out. As there are so many options to choose from in Swan Hill I am going to give another Motel my fortnightly business.
