The Barkly was our choice as we had arrived fairly late and had not booked , cosy , comfortable beds , restaurant good and clean. But interior is looking very tired in need of a face lift.

We stayed two nights and considered staying a third. We arrived at the Best Western in person and managed to get the last room. This is because we had booked into another motel over the internet and found it to be very different from its description. We found the complex delightful. The rooms were thoughtfully laid out, clean and pleasant.... More

We stayed for two nights and I cannot think the right words to describe their service.... It was awesome... We asked for things to do in Ballarat and staff at the front office were so helpful, they gave us some maps of the city and due to the location, everything was walking distance... Rooms were clean and meals are at... More

I really liked this place. Great people, very clean rooms, good value and good location. Really appreciate the restaurant after a long day on the road. Food and service is the best in Ballarat in my opinion....Not often you come accross a motel this good.

My partner and I stayed one night at the Barkly motor lodge, it was a surprise for me, from him, it was also meant to be a very special night. He asked and payed $145 for a room with a spa bath. we realised the spa bath did not work and went and spoke to staff, they said they would... More

The service in this Motor Lodge in more like a 5 star hotel. Apparently there are new owners that have recently taken over and they are doing a terrific job. While the rooms need an update, they are very clean and comfortable. Location is first rate with a short walk to the Bridge St Mall. The restaurant is the clincher.... More

Arrived late on our return leg of the journey for 2 nights. The front office staff arranged a late check in which was greatly appreciated. Off street parking which is great as we don't like parking on the street. Breakfast was the best we have had the whole trip: hubby highly recommends the Big Breakfast. Property is close enough for...
