This was the start of a three week trip to central Australia. The motel was a bit dated and quite expensive.

The hosts were most flexible and accommodating as we had to alter our dates several times due to illness. Our rooms were clean and comfortable. We would recommend this hotel highly to all.

Needed a "pet-friendly" place to stop over on our trip back from Melbourne to Adelaide. While the motel is a little dated, the room was clean and well-equipped with generous supplies of tea, coffee, milk etc Service at both check in and check out were efficient and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find a good Malaysian Restaurant in the town (Camca Garpu). Overall a pleasant, refreshing way to break the journey.

A necessary stay en route to Melbourne but Bordertown deserves better. Cost was exactly the same as a far superior room at Robe- no comparison.
