Yarragon Motel

Whilst this is an older style motel, with older style fittings, it is scrupulously clean and very welcoming. We were in room 8, some way back from the road and road noise was not an issue for us. However, with the design we definitely could hear other cars as the arrived and left from the motel (parking is right outside the rooms). So we hit a night with very thoughtful neighbours and it was good and quiet for for us. If you’re sensitive to noise, then know that you might be taking your chances with whoever settles in next door to you (and the heater/cooler was pretty super noisy too). Likewise, if you’re sensitive to smells, the cleaning products used are fairly highly fragranced, which I personally found easier to manage than being somewhere that doesn’t smell sweet! So it’s lots of stars from me, and for the price a good deal. We were a little surprised it’s a 9.30 am check out (many places are a little later than that) as we were doing a fun run and didn’t have time to get back to the room and shower before needing to drive back to Melbourne but I think if I’d asked nicely, I may have been offered some extra time.
