Jolly Swagman Motor Inn

What guests think

At Jolly Swagman Motor Inn, travellers highlight convenient highway access and generally quiet surrounds, while experiences vary across rooms and amenities, with many satisfied guests alongside others noting dated elements, maintenance issues, and occasional disruptions.

Rooms are often comfortable, sometimes refurbished, but several reviews describe small layouts, single beds not clearly advertised, noisy or older air conditioners, and a few noise concerns near laundry areas. Parking is a strong point with ample, secure, and undercover options for large vehicles, yet facility availability is inconsistent, with reports of a closed or great restaurant, a pool sometimes unusable, and some in-room spa fixtures not working. Cleanliness and service range from very clean rooms and friendly staff to occasional poor housekeeping and unresponsive or curt interactions. Overall, it suits simple stopovers, but confirm amenity availability and room configuration before booking.

A one night stop over. Very nicely set out room with plenty of space and a comfortable bed. The bathroom was spacious and plenty of room to mkve in the shower. Partially undercover parking and plenty of turning room. Only negative, you need to drive into town for food if you font want KFC which is walking distance.

Friendly staff, on-site Restaurant and mostly workers as other guests who were quiet and left early in the morning, so a sleep-in was easy. Plenty of toiletries made available for a single night stay! Spa Bath not working was a let-down, but not advertised as anything other than a private bathroom, so was our fault for getting our hopes up when we saw it. Otherwise it was a nice stay.

A list is needed: 1. Steak place is long gone, NO restaurant. 2. No room service (maybe because owner and drinking buddies in their private bar look like they are running down the old stock and can't man reception in the morning) 3. Pool is green and scary 4. BBQ and surrounding is a refugee site 5. Rooms smell of mould and industrial cleaning fluids 6. Showers mouldy 7. Rooms tiny and dark (till you turn on the fluorescent lights) 8. Grumpy reception guy sitting in front of a war memorial of Vietnam snaps (good prep for what you are about to endure) Sad sad place with no redeeming features. All the pictures you may see on wotif are pre-war. They are not a true representation of the current state of the premises. Also, it's very expensive for where it is!
