Matilda Motel

Very close to main shopping area, right beside community pool and 2 minute walk to Waltzinng Matilda centre

There were 2 new chairs like in the photos but 3 old ones. The table was very wobbly and with kids this isn't great. The fridge was terrible and we had to throw out most of our food as it had perished. The kettle was so badly stained from the water (which can't be helped), but needed to be replaced, I wouldn't use it. The walls reminded me of the old school portables which they removed from schools due to unsafe material in the walls, so I wasn't happy my children were sleeping next to it. The staff were lovely and accommodating. But it was really dated, tired and needed updating.

If could give less than 1 star I would. Wifi didn’t work. Visible black mould all over the bathroom roof. A clear health hazard to my son (who has a mould allergy) and pregnant wife. Beds were some of the worse I’ve seen. Tv reception was horrible plus the tv picture was damaged. Went to reception to ask for a refund as we simply couldn’t stay in a room with so much significant mould with my sons allergy. She said “it’s not mould. It’s just worn paint”. But if you want a refund you will need to contact wotif and they will need to contact us to do that. Found public wifi in town to contact Wotif. Who then contacted Matilda Hotel. To which she said “we can swap them to a different room (which was never offered at the time). At this stage we already had to book another room in town. Owner refused to refund and said “tough luck”. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. If this was the last motel in town. I simply would not stop in Winton

Managers were excellent. The bathroom is terrible. It’s need a total refurb. The bed had roll together so we used a single as well. You heard noise and movement when your neighbours moved in their room next door. We stayed 3 nights

It was old. No bedlights. Lights rusted and globes removed Shutter blinds dirty Bed was comfortable

There were stained shower tiles and shower base. In one room there was no heating. In another room the bed lamps did not work. One lamp had no switch and the other was hanging by the wires. In one room there were 2 cups while in the other there was 1 cup and 1 plate. The roadway to the rooms was uneven and covered with water.

Great friendly owners, bit outdated but value for money. Had everything you would need for a stop over.

The last time we were in Winton we stayed in the newer section - or so we thought - at this Motel and spurned what we thought were dongas. But this time what a revelation they turned out to be. They do require three steep steps to access but, once inside, you'll appreciate how the grey corrugated iron exterior gives way to neutral tones inside. We had a Queen and Two Singles in our room ($135.00 per night), the 'fridge was large, there was a very long bench, a jacuzzi-like walk-in shower tub and the usual amenities, including a table and two chairs on the ground outside. The guest laundry washing machine is free but the gas-fed dryer requires a $1.00 coin every 10 minutes. [A note of caution: the dryer window does not fully seal, so it's advisable to lean against the handle to ensure none of that costly heat escapes]. The room was very clean and the outside noise practically non-existent, ensuring a very comfortable sleep for the three nights of our stay.
