Gisborne Motel

Staying for work, i just needed a bed for the night. The room was neat, clean and very dark to sleep in-had all the amenities you would expect, and all in good good condition. A quick 2 minute drive to the town was convenient for dinner options, but far enough that there was no road noise.

This motel proves the adage: ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ . It’s a motel built beside the ‘old’ Calder Highway in the late 1960s. Our room: clean, neat and comfortable, white walls, crockery & cutlery provided plus tea/coffee/sugar/milk. Kettle’s ‘ innards’ sparkling clean………..a bonus, as many in various types of accommodation, aren’t! Reverse cycle aircon kept room warm and we slept very well in the comfortable bed. No need for the electric blankets. Shower good, towels fresh. Popular too, with the large parking area easily accommodating 4 medium trucks, a number of ‘tradie’ utes plus 4-5 private vehicles parked the two nights we stayed. Manger, Andrew, has been there for 15 years. He was on site when we stayed and is most helpful.
