What guests think

At Bordertown Motel, travellers describe simple, dated rooms suited to an overnight stop between Adelaide and Melbourne, with friendly staff and generally clean basics, but inconsistent upkeep, variable comfort, and occasional traffic or air conditioner noise affecting sleep.

The location on the highway is convenient for breaking the Adelaide to Melbourne drive and close to town services. Amenities are basic, with pet-friendly rooms plus straightforward parking and late check-in available. Restaurant hours are limited or closed on some nights, and Wi-Fi can be unreliable or unavailable. Overall, this is a practical overnight stop.

Needed a "pet-friendly" place to stop over on our trip back from Melbourne to Adelaide. While the motel is a little dated, the room was clean and well-equipped with generous supplies of tea, coffee, milk etc Service at both check in and check out were efficient and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find a good Malaysian Restaurant in the town (Camca Garpu). Overall a pleasant, refreshing way to break the journey.

Perfectly sufficient for an overnight stay. Late check in was easy, lovely staff. But noisy from the highway but we expected that. Old facilities but a comfy bed and had everything we needed for a quick sleep. There is a kettle,, toaster & microwave but no crockery or cutlery besides for tea/coffee - mugs & spoons. Thanks for having us!

Its great you can have pets here but the rooms are very old, dated, neglected and really not nice at all. The fees have gone up also so now $178 p/night if you have pets, not worth it.

The property doesn’t look like it has had any remodeling one since it was built and it wasn’t built yesterday. Very ordinary, and it is situated between the highway and the railway line. the highway is busy at night with trucks. the cook was off sick and the owner (breakfast cook) was on holidays. Understandably is was cheap, and booked up for 3 weeks. Not what i would call the cleanest establishment either. The staff were friendly.

This motel is located kind of mid way between Melbourne and Adelaide so the location is useful. The owners and staff are great, welcoming and nice people. The motel is old and the room I was in was cold and the reverse cycle aircon was noisy/rattly. The electric blanket worked OK. Being on the highway there is a lot of noise from trucks. The restaurant food was OK if old-style Australian motel. The Indian owners should include a curry or two with Basmati rice that would improve things a lot.
