The Lydoun Motel

What guests think

Across recent reviews, The Lydoun Motel stands out for comfortable rooms and friendly, welcoming staff, offering good value in a small country town that suits stopovers and regional exploring, though the nearby railway can occasionally be heard.

Cleanliness is repeatedly highlighted, with rooms and bathrooms described as very well maintained. Rooms are generally well equipped and climate control works well, though a few guests noted dated elements or very firm mattresses. Chiltern’s dining options are limited, particularly on some weeknights, with pubs and a bakery mentioned positively nearby. Expect a clean, comfortable, good-value stopover with simple comforts.

A local woman told me that the noise of the trains would keep us awake, as the railway line is close. It did not. In fact the couple of freight trains we heard, were not loud, but gave the place a pleasant country soundtrack. The area for improvement is the badly designed step to get into the Office. It is not ergonomic, but a hazard.

This inn was perfect for an overnight stay from Sydney to Melbourne. The rooms have been renovated recently- impeccably clean. The AC and refrigerator are well-known brands, impressed by the quality of the appliances given most of the time these are outfitted by what the operators can buy cheapest. The bed and sheets were so comfortable. Shower and bathroom are new and clean. Staff accomodating. So impressed by this place. Best overnight inn I’ve stayed in within Australia.

The property is literally in a tiny town with not much to do including extremely limited dining options. The property was also reflective of the old times - basic TV, smaller showers, etc. Apart from that, it was a pretty convenient property. Clean, well-maintained, and friendly staff. Definitely recommended, if you're comfortable with the location. The check-in closes at 9 PM, in case you didn't notice that in the property details.

Nice motel in a lovely historical town. Comfy and cosy. It is next to the railway line but didn't disturb us at all as they don't run all night. The cafe is no longer open but there is a fantastic bakery in town and the op shop and gallery are both worth a visit too. Overall a really nice stay and will stay again.
