Arrived late 9.30pm with my sister a wee grandson. Paid $150.00, was never given a receipt. Place was basic, so very over priced. The tv didnt work, and it was too late to return to the office. The room we were in was noisy, so the sleep was horrid. Were pleased to leave in the morning.

Unfortunately rate this place very average - amenities are basic - no outlook and roads on both sides. The place was clean but apart from that doesn't have anything going for it. Ok if you need a bed. Unfortunately we didn't get the size unit I had booked one month before - got downsized and still paid full price -... More

Overpriced. Charged me extra for a 6 month old even though we bought our own portacot. Wifi apparently only works in two of the units, even though it is advertised. Grumpy check-in man. Unit good, don't understand why motels provide ovens, and no overn proof cookware..

This was our second stay here in the same unit. This time I brought a heater as I knew from last time about the heater with timer - a rather odd thing considering Balclutha can be very cold in winter. Could also do with some hooks for clothes etc in the bathroom and a heater in there too. Apart from... More

We stayed at this motel in early May 2010. First impression from outside the units was good, they appeared clean and recently refurbished. The unit was well furnished. The two bedrooms were a reasonable size but we noted that we didn't have enough space to open our suitcases and in fact had to leave them in the living area which... More
