“Unexpected gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We booked into this motel at lunchtime on the day we were due to arrive just prior to the New Year Holiday. In our application we put that I needed a gluten-free diet - something that is often hard to find and because this was a budget hotel we didn't expect that I would get anything other than a salad or similar at short notice. What a surprise we got! We were greeted by a friendly Austrian lady who was running the place singlehandedly that night and she immediately told us that she had got gone out and bought gluten-free bread for me. (Wow! What service!) While the room we had was small, it was a budget price, had everything we needed and was very clean. The restaurant food however surpassed anything I could have wished for. The meals were all authentically Austrian, extremely tasty, and the dear lady who was the proprietor made sure every meal she served me was gluten free. It turned out that she had a daughter who was gluten intolerant so she knew exactly what was needed. We stayed 4 nights and ate in the restaurant every night. The front of the motel did not look particularly appealing and we might have passed it by if we had driven through Sale looking for accommodation, but we would have really missed out if we had done so. The garden at the back was beautifully laid out, peaceful, and every evening the rainbow lorikeets flew in to entertain us. If you are coeliac and need a gluten-free diet then I can recommend this place wholeheartedly above some of the more expensive plush motels in Sale. (On a previous trip I had gone to a motel that cost $50 per night more and the only g/f food I could find that night in Sale was chips at McDonalds!)

“Comfortable and Friendly Accomodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

We stopped ther on ourv way back from the snow filds this summer.Theowners prepared a babeque for us and the other guest and we all ate and weree introduced in the stunning court-yard gardens. The bed was comfortable all faccilities were available. The rooms, resturant and gardens are incredibly unique homely and comfortable.
The whole place has a ceratin 1980's ambience about it.
I would highly recommend, especially to anyone else riding through from or to the capitals via the coast roads. Bikes can be made secure by placing them completely out of site and close to the rooms.
Heaps of character, great food and a quiet comfortable bed. What more do you want??????????And we travel interstate a lot!!!

Room Tip: Get a room at the rear and one that has been recently renovated as we did!

“definitely would not recommend!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 November 2009

This is barely 2 star not 3 star as advertised. Our room was very small,cramped and the furnishings were very old. The bathroom was very out of date with faded green scratchy towels that had definitely seen better days. The owner was nowhere to be seen when we checked in and hardly enthusiastic to meet us on arrival. We decided not to eat in the restaurant as it looked very jaded with old clippings of reviews on the window. We couldn't wait to leave this motel next morning!
