Gloucester Country Lodge Motel

We have stayed at this motel numerous times over the past 4 years. It is dated (that is to be expected given the age of the hotel) but the rooms have always been clean, the grounds tidy and the service exceptional. Since the new 'owner operator' has taken over, things have changed significantly. The rooms are still clean but the grounds are a mess and the service is horrible. To mention just a few things: - The reception area is dirty and cluttered. - The covered car port that customers used to be able to park in while they checked in is now seems to be the housekeeper's parking spot. - The towels are thread bare, only two to a room and no face cloths. - The grounds are messy. Broken chairs, chairs covered in tools, old clothes and footwear. - Staff are rude and yell at customers trying to check in / out across the grounds instead of coming over to speak with them. - Rooms are only cleaned if you leave the 'please clean this room' sign out. - Breakfast is no longer an option in the morning. This used to be a nice option as food can be difficult to find in the area around holidays. - There are menus in the rooms for the Golf Club next door but no mention that the kitchen at the Golf Club is closed. Although the location and the view are wonderful, I wouldn't recommend stopping at this motel. Unhappy Guest

Really hospitable welcome. Rooms are clean and comfortable, with no road noise at night. Pool needs a little attention, however was ok to help revitalize some weary legs. Great location next to the golf club, especially when the golf club bar and bistro is open.

It was very clean, but really dated. My ac unit wasn’t working and wasn’t fixed before I left, as promised. I had a small fan heater, but it really wasn't enough. No electric blankets on the beds as advertised. The towels were very faded and really thin..the taps in the bathroom were from the 70s and the pastic on them was cracked . The TV didn’t work properly so I couldn’t watch it, and the wifi was almost non existent..

Friendly reception & motel staff. Very clean room. Soft towels & great water pressure in shower. Large room with a beautiful view to the mountains from the back door.A short drive to town. Off street parking with newly renovated car park lighting for security.

One of only two motels I know of that has a lovely back veranda with a view - the other is at Wahgunyah in Vic on the Murray. If you are pretentious, don’t stay here. If you like simple things, a fabulous view of the river flats, cows and remnant volcano from your own room, and great value to boot, then you will love it. We stay here every time we drive NSW to Brisbane and it’s always the same which is something to be grateful for in this mad world. It does what it does very well. Pool is welcome on hot summer days, and rooms have ceiling fans, not just aircon - hallelujah.

Stuarts Travel Club had a very large group 4 night stay. Sandie and her team could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. Even baked us 2 birthday cakes.Comfortable clean rooms and top food. A pleasure to stay there.
