Linaker Art Deco Motel

Very old classic building in beautiful grounds. Full of history. Short walk into town and the beautiful surroundings.

Wonderful heritage building in spacious grounds conveniently located.

Beautiful location, easy parking, clean room and excellent bathroom. Probably best suited for quiet adult guests rather than children.

Private, safe and pretty comfortable, spacious private bathroom , lovely grounds with beautiful trees.

Charming art deco place, spacious room and lovely surrounds. Would definitely stay there again.

The manager was definitely out there but he was so accommodating and couldn't do enough for us even when he had so much to do. Lovely olde world property. The only criticism I have is the car park has small spots and it seems that people from a nearby business are using it therefore sometimes the carpark was full.

Lovely open grounds surround the old nurses quarters which have a dormitory type accommodation feel. Plenty of character and history with the building, and the staff also present as interesting characters. 'Deano' was friendly and very accommodating during our overnight stay. Room was a good size, and had a spacious bathroom with large shower. Some renovations and fresh paint would improve the place, but found it good value at the price.

Loved our stay! Deano was an awesome host. Very friendly & accomodating. Wonderful historical building, beautifully maintained gardens. Great location.

The most important thing about this property is simply that it is based within an historic mental asylum precinct, so it's kind of fun. (I took my teenage kids). This building is art deco style and very well kept, but includes thick metal doors in The Shining-style corridors, which can still be opened and closed and bolted, and would once have been used for the protection of staff. The asylum precinct is large and various buildings have been similarly repurposed and the grounds and gardens are very beautiful and well-maintained. There are several themed activities including a ghost tour and escape room available, though not on the night we were there. This particular place didn't offer any meals but was otherwise comfortable and the reception guy had plenty of personality. Just up the hill from the incredibly preserved gold rush town of Beechworth, all amenities are available including various dining options, shopping, etc.

Great position and very pretty part of town

Clean and quiet, but some minor things made it feel very 'budget' - no milk in fridge, some cheap plastic fittings in bathroom, etc.

Amazing customer service from Deano! Not who I’d normally expect on a concierge desk, but wow! He’s got so much personality! He knows his job and does it well. The who venue looks a little haunted which was cool with the ghost tours of the asylum nearby. The place is neat and tidy. Happy to have stayed hear.

Soda bed was broken but other wise clean room

Room was filthy

Old nurses quarters. Refurb to basic level but very clean and one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept in

We had a family/Friends weekend away. We stayed here for the excitement of staying in an old asylum. The room was set out great we love a separate lounge to bedroom. The staff members we saw were friendly. The facilities were basic. The cleanliness of the rooms could’ve been better. But for the amount of time we spent in the rooms it really wasn’t an issue. Beds and pillows were comfortable.

Clean and comfortable rooms in an interesting building. The rooms are a bit dated and do need a bit of a refresh but they have everything you need.

Clean, comfortable but run-down.

Lovely peaceful property, very clean & comfortable. Definitely recommended.

Overall disappointing. Arrived to a less than clean, very basic room, that was freezing cold, with not even the simple electric wall heater turned on, when atleast the lowest setting, would have made entering the room more appealing from the cool/ cold hallway. No heating in the old basic bathroom. After choosing this accommodation, due to the old art deco style building, rather than an old basic styled similar priced motel room in Beechworth, we would now make the other choice. Hopefully it improves, there’s plenty of room for it. Budget option for some !

I chose to stay at Linaker Nurse’s Quarters because I was intrigued by how they have set this up as a motel. Motel guests definitely step back in time as they enter through to the foyer. The room was spacious with separate bathroom and living area which is modestly furnished, but this would have been reminiscent to the era. Microwave, toaster, kettle and TV are all clean and worked well. Tes/coffee/milk etc provided. Bathroom had a great shower and decor was befitting the era as well. Basic supplies were provided which was great as hubby forgot his toothbrush. The bedroom boasted a very comfortable bed which was great after a long days driving. Other than the bed, there were no modern additions to this room and the large wardrobe was sizeable enough to fit your clothes, suitcases and picnic basket if you have one. The communal lounge is photo worthy and all that was missing was that the reception staff were not dressed to reflect the former use of this site. That would have been great. For meals, it was a short stroll or even shorter drive back into town for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Overall this was affordable accommodation for anyone on a budget, it was quirky, we felt safe and had a great nights sleep.

Great location, great (heritage) building, great rooms. Minor glitches were remedied quickly and cheerfully. However the lack of Wifi in rooms needs attention.

approx' 20 mins to check in Poor TV reception No radio No air-con No WiFi Wardrobes stuffed with old bits'pieces,bed-linen,etc Building obviously in early (very) stage of renovation

Rooms are basic , but clean and comfortable . Bathrooms are great for people with mobility problems .

The heating wasn't terribly effective but everything else was great.

Quite old and outdated. Heating was poor TV didn’t work

Fine for overnight, but wouldn't want to stay any longer. Room was nice but air con/heating wasn't working and we had to rely on a small radiator and a fan heater. Public areas were also freezing.

I thought this hotel very good for the price. Not luxurious, but the price is low so I don't expect that. The one fault is that the mattress in my room was lumpy, not good at all. With a better mattress it would be ideal for the price.

Very spacious room with character

Lovely large room with unique fun decor. In a quiet and beautiful setting, walking distance from town for dinner. Good value.

The Manager did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. Wonderful environment.

Wonderful heritage building enthusiastic helpful staff.

Lovely hotel with nice Art Deco finishes in a very quiet area of Beechworth. It was very difficult to find in the dark as there are no street lights and lots of one way signs that were confusing. When we did find it with the help of the staff at hotes.com the front door was locked earlier than the stated time. After two phone calls the receptionist ceas found and was very apologetic and helpful. Thankyou to the staff at Hotels.com who stay on the phone with us until it was sorted out.

The owners are lovely people always willing to help in any way.

Loved our stay! Deano was an awesome host. Very friendly & accomodating. Wonderful historical building, beautifully maintained gardens. Great location.

Peaceful Harmonious Great to listen to all the cockies and other birds waking up in the morning Great Chinese restaurant in Town 11out of 10 for Deano the manager. Looks rough as guts, but bends over backwards to accommodate ALL your wants and needs

Dean at reception was very friendly and helpful.

The art deco style of the building was excellent, and the surrounding area was quiet and peaceful.

Very old classic building in beautiful grounds. Full of history. Short walk into town and the beautiful surroundings.

We have stayed here before and enjoy “ The Shining” experience walking down the long passage. Everything appears as an Art Deco place. Easy to get around in the area, and a very lovely walk into town for meals. It is quiet and you get woken to the sounds of birds. The conceive is a nice friendly person and helpful. Loved the place and will be back.

Was a great stay, close to Beechworth Asylum, great atmosphere

Very much liked the two bedroom setup. The grounds are amazing as is the history of the site. It's walkable to the shops and lake. Staff were very friendly.

Our stay for one night was good. We like buildings with history and a story. This Art Deco building is just that. The rooms & bed are comfortable. Beechworth is a lovely town with plenty of options for coffee and eats.
