Eildon Lake Motel

Excellent just right in for a one night

No slippery for use to toilet. Not enough chair for 3 people. No washbasin to wash hand and face. No Dish rock, to put dishes after wash them.

Good

Not much to look at from the outside the rooms themselves are clean and well equipped. The lightbulb in a side light wasn’t working but housekeeping replaced promptly the next day when requested. The heater did a great job keeping us warm during a winter break. There were extra fluffy blankets in the cupboard. Bathroom was newly renovated but no sink or shelving in the bathroom so the kitchen works as the bathroom sink. There was no one in reception so check-in was done via phone. The outside barbecue area is well thought out too. Very easy walk to shops. If you go off season just double check where you can get food from and everything’s as closed on the Sunday evening apart from the fish and chip shop (which is very good and has lots of alternative options thank goodness). I would stay there again.

We asked for a ground floor room, were told we would be given one, and were put in a second floor room. The external stairs to the room were steep and not at all recommended for anyone suffering from knee issues. The room itself was fine, although there was no iron (which I only mention because I would've liked to use it, not a huge deal!). Microwave and fridge and crockery and utensils were great. The basin was outside the ensuite and doubled as the kitchen sink. It was quite large and perfect for washing up. There were no privacy curtains on the windows, so we couldn't open the drapes to let in natural light, due to the tradesmen working right outside our door. We found this to be a real privacy issue. The tradies knocked on our door looking for the owner, smoked outside our room and woke us at 7am, talking right outside our room. Obviously, the tradies won't always be there, and I'm assuming they're trying to give the property a much needed facelift, so the outside matches the modernised interiors. However, having them work on a Sunday is probably not a great idea, and customers should be informed that this is happening before they make a booking.
