The oldest Motor Inn from the 1960s has a huge potential as a destination in its own right. Just need to restore it to original condition (eg. do away with the 90s colonial revival lace & federation colours)

We had stayed at Bandicoot Motor Inn for one night in their Family room as last minute decision while travelling from Adelaide to Melbourne. The check-in was easy and the room was clean. Though it was a short stay, I wanted to leave just after few hours, had an eerie feel to the place. There was a particular smell in the room as it seems it was closed for a long time and even the air condition wasn’t in the room were the main bed was. Our side of the rooms are close to the highway, though not a busy road but still noisy when any car passes.

This is a fairly old motel that offers a basic, cheap, clean option for short stays. Check in is easy and the staff are friendly. The towels are clean and the water is good pressure and temperature. Tea and coffee provided, along with the complimentary biscuits.
