We found our room was very comfortable and the decor in the room itself modern and pleasing to the eye, Jim the manager was more than helpful, which is not always the case as we found on our travels Based on our recent experience we would be happy to recommend this Motor Inn. G&M Davies

After reading the reviews & having been burnt before in Ballarat I was mistaken in believing this place was something special - ITS NOT! Its certainly not up the standard of the Settlement in Echuca, but the over over the top reviews give the impression its the Ritz. Bathrooms are average & the drainage of the shower was very poor....

We are disapponted that you have not enjoyed your stay with us, nor that you do not agree with the vast majority of tripadvisor members who have reviewed Begonia City Motor Inn. Firstly we apologise that you got the impression that we were only two (2) kilometres from the city centre. All the information that we have provided on the... More

Out family of four chose Begonia City due to previous reviews on trip advisor as we were visiting Sovereign Hill. We were not disappointed. The rooms were clean and comfortable and excellent value for money. Jim was very helpful and friendly at reception and even gave us frozen muffins to take with us on checking out. Thank you for a...

We are very glad that you enjoyed your stay at Begonia City Motor Inn and had a pleasant experience. Good to hear that the muffins went down well. Just for the record we generally bake muffins every morning, though we generally freeze a few each day so that on the quieter days we can raid our frozen stock. That way... More

We stayed at Begonia City for 3 nights over Easter and were very impressed with their freindly and helpful service and would recommend this as a great place to stay. When we arrived we were offered freshly baked muffins (yum), the rooms were very clean and tidy and although the property is not modern the decor and bedding etc were... More

Cant say enough of how happy with the service and what was on offer for the short time we were there....when you have a family you want somewhere to come home to knowing that your room has been attended to and things are in place. We were satisfied beyond compare. The rooms were impeccable and everything that you need was... More

Thank you for your feedback, we greatly appreciate your comments and that you found the property to your liking. We are sorry that you had trouble sleeping and that you experienced some traffic noise. Generally speaking this tends not to be a problem as the rooms are double brick and located well off the road, although it is the Midland... More

This property is situated at Sebastapol which is only 2kms from the city centre of Ballarat. It is within walking distance of a shopping centre, and across the road is a Bowling Club with excellent quality meals.. We stayed in a queen double unit which was ideal for the two of us, and we opted for a cooked breakfast, which... More

We stayed here based on the recent reviews in Trip Advisor and were not dissapointed. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious, clean and the beds were very comfortable. I would not hesitate staying here again. This is a very nice motel.

My main reason for booking this motel was the favourable reviews made by other contributors. We were in Ballarat to attend an event in Wendouree which was on the other side of Ballarat but the extra distance travelled was worth it. Whilst situated on a main road, the units are located well back and we could not hear any road... More
