What guests think

Across many reviews, Rose Garden Motel is praised for spotless, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and a quiet, convenient Belmont location, with friendly, helpful hosts who handle late arrivals and make stays easy for business and leisure travelers.

Rooms and bathrooms are big, some with spa baths and kitchenettes, though decor can feel dated and there are occasional maintenance niggles with spas, showers, or the pool. Cleanliness is a strong point overall, with a few reports of musty smells or sticky floors. Parking is easy, gardens and play areas are appreciated, and breakfast is available but described as basic, with plenty of nearby dining options. Expect a comfortable, good-value classic motel stay.

We were disappointed as we had a previous good experience. The room had a nasty smell and we eventually worked out that it was the bed cover. The bathroom floor was a bit sticky as well. We booked a room to sleep 3 (2 adults and one child) and there was only a king size bed. My husband checked in and we did not realize until after hours so just let them know in the morning. The owner was apologetic and offered us free drinks to take with us.

Exceptional motel and we highly recommend. Ours was an overnight stay as we travelled from Adelaide for a function in Ocean Grove the following day. The room we booked was the standard double room which provided all the required amenities for a comfortable stay, with the added bonus of undercover parking right outside your door. The room we were allocated was at the front of the motel and considering its close proximity to the highway was surprisingly quiet. Parts of the room are a little bit dated, but it was exceptionally clean. The room was big enough to comfortably house a kitchen area, a king size bed, a king single bed, a 4 piece dining set, TV, luggage rack and a recliner rocker with plenty of room to spare. The beds were very comfortable and bed coverings modern and of excellent quality. The bathroom for this particular room is enormous and consisted of a large spa bath and seperate shower, vanity and toilet. The bathroom was about the size of a small hotel room! Shower pressure was good. There is an information booklet provided in the room which was excellent for providing relevant information about the motel, recommendations for eating places and included at least six different menus for various places if takeaway is preferred. All interactions with staff were warm and welcoming. Great 4 star motel.

The service provided by the team at Rose Garden Motel was outstanding. Once they knew I would be late checking in they arranged for my late arrival, the lights and AC were turned on so the room was ready for me. The room, although a little dated was super clean and comfortable, and soooo quiet. Thanks for a great stay :)

Retro style 1970s motel, clean and in good condition. Large parking spaces and well maintained gardens. Convenient to shops (10 minute drive). Basic motel accommodation well equipped with toiletries and basic crockery and cutlery fridge and microwave. Nice that it had a kitchen sink (rather than using the bathroom sink). But do not bother with the breakfast, it is cheap and basic with everything charged as extra can get expensive and not worth it, go to a cafe instead.
