Seemed to be newly renovated. Room was on the small side but had everything we needed and was well appointed. Enjoyed the optional continental breakfast.

Hi Desiree,Thank you for leaving such a lovely review! Your feedback is much appreciated as it makes us aware of what we are doing right and wrong!! I'm pleased you enjoyed your breakfast and the company of Claude :)I hope you arrived safely at Halls Gap.Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
It was two years ago since we had stayed at the Motel River Bend & found for our one night stay again; this lovely motel is just the place to pull up to for a relaxing evening before heading off on our road trip the following morning! Can highly recommend the Motel River Bend for fellow travellers

Hi JaniceWe are glad that you enjoyed your stay and pleased that you noticed our renovations - there is always something to do!!Thank you for coming back to Motel Riverbend, and we hope to see you again.Kind Regards
I am sorry but also surprised that this was the case Nadene, as all of our rooms are non-smoking. Maybe the window was left open and someone was smoking outside or perhaps there was smoke on your clothes? Nevertheless, I hope you found the room comfortable and that your son enjoyed his basketball carnival.
This property felt safe and secure, especially for a female teavelling alone. Nice and quiet little spot to break up the drive. Friendly and helpful staff.

So happy to hear that you were able to relax and enjoy your stay. The motel is a great stopover point, whatever direction you are heading, and we are always happy to welcome tired and weary travellers.Thank you for leaving a review, it means a lot to our small family owned business.
Allowed offroad parking for small removal truck; room was clean, no obvious aging or stains on carpets (unlike the bigger hotels). Cold water in the fridge upon arrival - thank you. After hours manager for when I accidently locked myself out of the room - thank you again. Wonderful hot shower with excellent water pressure.
