I loved it because it is colourful, quirky and very, very friendly. As a solo traveller most of the time (yay retirement), feeling safe, comfortable and looked after is number one for me. Junction Motel met the criteria. Plus, it has personality. There is so much to look at, from lovely artworks to shop dummies to an abundance of succulents. This is not a boring, sterile come and go motel. This is a stop and linger and relax whilst having fun.

My only disappointment was that the restaurant is only open for functions. But the room service breakfast certainly hit the spot.

They aren't doing any meals at present. Since we always BYO breakfast, the Breakfast was brilliant.

Missing the former restaurant there. New owner not doing meals yet!!! Kitchenette had equipment BUT no container fro MYO meal in microwave. No sharp knife to cut veges. Plenty of charity shops and cheap shops BUT ... And reception seldom open.

Unique art work, interior and exterior, made this an interesting environment. Room was great, clean, ensuite, fridge etc., perfect for relaxing. Short ish walks to shops and places to eat. Parking right outside room.

Only criticism was the car park being so close you get noise from other vehicles, but not a great problem.

The quirkiest hotel I have ever stayed in and I loved it. Each room is different... makes me want to go back again to try another one. Don't judge a book by its covers.. it was comfortable..quiet and clean and very conveniently located. Great price point.

The lighting in the room could have been a bit brighter and I would have loved a second mirror outside the bathroom area.

A interesting motel nice and clean and comfortable. Separate toilet in the bathroom area. Just what we needed close to Hobart before we fly out. A underated motel. We will definitely stay again if we visit the area. Don't forget to have a look around New Norfolk town. Amazing history complete with friendly helpful people.

Nothing

The first view shocks you and it takes a little while to accept the courtyard decor. I would call it eclectic art. Lots of items have been recycled and "upcycled" into a strange mixture of mannequins, mixed chairs, pictures and plants that grows on you once you settle down and look at it. However inside the rooms, it is much quieter colouring with tasteful pictures, pale paint and much easier on the eyes. All very well fitted up kitchenettes, bathrooms and cosy comfortable beds. Good wifi and parking outside your room. Peaceful quiet night, slept very well. Breakfasts could be ordered to rooms but we did not bother. Check-in allowed from 12 noon, really good.

This is a 1950's motel that has been upcycled rather than upgraded. The bathroom fittings and layout are old but clean and efficient.

This is an old school 1960s motel with rooms opening onto a shared veranda and parking at the front. Instead of modernising, the owners have remodeled it in a colourful retro manner that is very funky. It was a comfortable and unique place to stay and the price was appropriate

I liked pretty much everything. I suspect that the walls could be quite thin although I didn’t have anyone in the next room to be sure about that

Well I booked this accommodation for the unusual experience and that is what we had. I knew what was coming up when we arrived there were 6 of us but my sister didn't know and she couldn't stop laughing. It was an unusual place but the whole experience was fun. Bit sad the restaurant wasn't opened but understand. The owner has created an artistic experience the rooms are all different and there are unique collectibles everywhere, now I mean everywhere outside on your verandah are is a special experience. The rooms are not cluttered but at first look you do wonder. Everything is clean our rooms were spacious except for the twin bedroom a bit tight. We were so glad we stayed and the owner was lovely. One thing I want to mention is the room info book was very comprehensive on information about things to do in the area. We did it all on the recommendation from the book, such a historic place. Oh if you aren't there on the tour days for the mental asslyum we called and did a private tour on a day that suited us. Thanks for the special experience we loved it.

Can't think of anything perhaps the cleaner was a little too keen in moving my friend out before 10 on day we left but minor

What a fabulous little place to stay. The decor in the rooms and outside each room is unique, carefully selected and very quirky. We absolutely loved seeing all the little extras around the place. Tim was a great host! We chatted with him for a while when we checked in and he highlighted some of the places we might visit. The rooms were super clean and had great little extras such as a chocolate treat. If you are in New Norfolk, you must stay here!

We did not opt to have breakfast here during our stay. The location was a lot better than we thought especially after having some last minute issues with our previous accomodation and being able to book this place on the same day was very reassuring and helpful. It was only a 20 minute drive from Hobart CBD and grocery stores/cafes which was easy accessible.

The only issue that we encountered was with the toilets - it took several flushes over an extended period of time and the toilet continued to make noise which was a little difficult to tolerate overnight due to the noise. But other than that, everything else was exceptional - facilities, location and service.
