“In my opinion, this motel stands out for its surprisingly well-equipped communal kitchen and spotless rooms. The location offers a quiet retreat just outside of town, near the main attractions, Hanging Rock and Mt Macedon Gardens. It's a family-run place that impressed me with its value, particularly the self-catered breakfast options and pet-friendly policy.”
