Great location. Have stayed a few times before. Helpful staff. Very nice room. Best shower ever. Our only issue was with the heating. After discovering we had on wrong setting for warmth it was great until around 11 pm when we got back to the room (we never altered the settings on the remote} there was no heat again and we froze for the night. Bit warmer when we woke up. Possibly on a timer?

The property was close to the centre of Castlemaine. It was clean. Not as good as I expected from the photos. We checked out around 7.30 on Saturday morning, reception was unattended so dropped the key in the locked box. We realised while ordering breakfast in town that my husband had forgotten his reading glasses in the room. We finished eating and got back to the motel probably around 8.45, reception was still unattended so we rang the number from their website, it went to voicemail, left a message explaining our situation. No response. We rang again at about 9.10. This time the lady came out and got the key for my husband. My husband was careless to leave his glasses, but the customer service was very poor. I couldn't believe that reception was unattended after 9am on a Saturday morning. Lucky that it wasn't a real emergency.

Blocked drains for 2 of 3 nights

Blocked drains for 2 of our 3 nights in the Family room. Only after the second attempt after 2 days was it fixed. We could only have 1 minute showers as we would be standing in a puddle of our shower water after a minute. It would then take 20 minutes to drain completely. There was also no housekeeping, no tissues and no forks (but there were knives and spoons)
