"It's a normal motel. We arrived at 10pm five minutes after driving off the road. The owner left the key in the password box. The yard is big enough for parking. It was dark at night. The room has a heater, air conditioner, toaster, microwave. The triple room has a table and chairs. The bed is relatively soft and clean. The room is a bit damp and musty. The hot water is very good. We drove away early the next morning without having time to look around. There is a gas station at the door. It took 13 hours to drive along the coastal highway from Sydney to here. The speed limit was all the way. 644 yuan per night during Easter."

"Clean and tidy place. We arrived late and tried to contact the place to inform them but response was not instant (our fault for informing late also). Otherwise, place is comfortable for a night’s stay before continuing the road trip. Thank you."
"The hotel in orbost town on the side of A1 road is a little rustic. The location is not easy to find, mainly because the sign at the entrance of the hotel is placed in the bushes, so people can't find it. The service is good. I am worried that we will arrive late, so I have opened the room to ventilate. You can eat in the town across the road, with Chinese food and fast food, and you can buy supermarkets. Stay here overnight and fill up with gasoline tomorrow morning, because there are gas stations and hot food for sale about two hours' drive to NSW."
"Super nettes Motel mit freundlicher Rezeption. Es gab sogar eine kostenlose Frühstücksbox pro Person für die erste Nacht. Eine Bar ist gleich mit dran und es gibt nette Merchprodukte. Lage super."
"We loved our stay at Buchan Motel. The location is great for Buchan caves. The pub and local takeaway shop is just minutes away.
Loved the breakfast they have provided us with! Everything is top notch. The place is clean, there was a bit of fruit flies or the similar sort in the night but that’s normal for the location, so I didn’t mind at all.
Kids:
We saw a cute cat and it rubbed my leg. I patted it and it was a girl."
