Stayed overnight with my grand daughter... it was a lovely clean and spacious room for the 2 of us. The bar fridge was one of the best I've used in a hotel/motel it kept your drinks lovely and cold. The room was well presented and clean... the bathroom although a bit 'oldish' had new tiles, no mould anywhere and very clean. I'm particularly fussy about bathrooms being lovely and clean. We both had a great nights sleep so that was a plus and guessing the beds were comfortable. (I always take my own pillow) While we were watching a movie on the large bed that was comfy for sitting up on... and they have Foxtel!!! Only con would be the tv could be a bit larger but was still watchable. I would definitely stay there again, the price was great and it's only about a 6k drive into Ballarat central. Location was great! The owner was extremely friendly and was keen for us to have an enjoyable stay which we did.

Location!!! So great, we had dinner at the Sebastopol Bowling Club right across the road, Coles is within walking distance, and not too far down the road are all the major takeaway options. We didn't notice any traffic noise, it was a nice quiet stay. The beds were SUPER comfortable, everything was clean, wifi and foxtel were a plus. The room was quite big and spacious with a decent sized wardrobe. We will definitely stay again! Fantastic value for money. Highly recommend!

There is nothing we didn't like. We loved it.

We were welcome with a smile, even though we arrived 2 hours later than we said we would due to traffic.. The room was large and clean and the bed was comfortable. Power points everywhere was a bonus!

Our GPS took us to the back entrance, so we had to find our way around the block to reception. We received a 3rd party email notification that said our booking was in a different area (Geelong instead of Ballarat) which was also confusing.

From memory pric was good, room had a big TV With Foxtel (even though I had to turn it back on and scan all the channels myself) and also a giant spa in the room for some reason which I used of course.

Luckily my GPS routed me to the back entrance as the front entrance is only 2m high which I wouldn't have fit under, so if you have a taller vehicle, you can enter from the rear cul-de-sac access which is always open. Parking spot layout meant you had to reverse onto the grass to get out and be facing the right way. Motel is far from the centre of town so definately make sure you have a car

The staff in the office is really friendly, called us before we arrived to confirm the booking and arrival time, and when we arrived it was very easy to communicate and sounded welcomed. The two bedroom unit was quite equipped with everything, from kitchen to bedroom to bathroom. Mattresses are very comfortable and everything is simple and clean.

Some neighbours are having some sorts of games and they made a lot of laughing sounds, it was well heard from our room. If the sound proof can be improved, it would be excellent.

A gem of a motel. Clean, spacious, massive tv with Foxtel, comfy bed and pillows with nice bedding in a quiet, leafy location. The bathroom was dated but that doesn't matter to me, especially when the shower in our room had water pressure so good it could blow you through the wall. Good for massaging travel sore shoulder muscles. You can tell the owners take pride in their business. There were even grassy areas with picnic tables. We'd definitely stay here again.

No negatives.

The whole Vibe of the place is really quite relaxed and comfortable; the Motel is obviously ran by Extremely Diligent People, Pleasant, Polite, Respectful yet Casual, Friendly and Jovial all in the mix, one couldn't help but enjoy the ambience; this is certainly our take or experience over multiple stays! Thank-you to all @ Begonia City Motor Inn. :) :)

What's not to like?

Lovely huge comfortable room at a good price. Pleasant helpful proprietor. Loved the extra touches..... biscuits, milk, salt & pepper, bottled water....

Noisy nextdoor neighbours on 1st night of my stay. Children running beserk, screaming,shouting right outside my door... ahhhhh till after 9pm. I shouted out to them: SHOOSH.... Pity their parents had no control. ** Perhaps signage to respect others & no NOISE after 9pm would be good **

Very good older style motel- but very well run and looked after. And they have all Foxtel channels!!!

Pillows could do with an upgrade. And not using a top sheet and its a hot night- only option is to take doona out of donna cover. Should be using a top and bottom sheet.

The staff are friendly and professional

The only thing I could fault and it's a minor thing (this comes from my cleaning of motel rooms) there was not enough bottles of water for each guest and not enough condiments for guest. example : 5 people = 1 bottle of water 5 people = 1 milk 5 people 2 biscuits. (3. children and only 2 biscuits when all 3 wanted to try them = upset children)
