Briars Country Lodge (MOTEL)

Wonderful experience and a very pleasant relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings and grounds, and immaculate presentation. Friendly staff with happy smiles at every encounter. Rooms are spacious, very clean and well appointed with helpful, practical facilities, Foxtel included. Great quality breakfast with wide range of choices. Will definitely be back to enjoy more country hospitality at this warm and welcoming establishment. Thank you to all the lovely ladies.

We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment. Would have to agree with other reviewers, it is overpriced. The rooms were clean and the beds comfortable, there is also enclosed balcony. Unfortunately you do not get great views from the apartment, glimpses only. For the kids the place was a bit adult, would have been good if there were some kids games, luckily we brought some. Foxtel available so we're able to watch some family movies. Plenty of space in the apartment and a full kitchen, but would have been good if there were some more cleaning products and jay clothes etc to enable easy cleanup. Only one bathroom for 3 rooms, so imagine it would be a bit of a juggle when full. There is a washing machine, dryer and dish washer and full sized fridge. But you need to take out all the drinks to use effectively. Lovely outdoor grounds, played soccer with the kids and great location to the pub. The cost of the apartment is a lot, be mindful that as you add persons to your booking the price goes up. Apartment is on the first floor so has stairs, bit of an effort to unload the car and carry everything up, the parking spot is not next to the apartment.

The place is great and we will be definitely rebook very soon ☺️ everything is amazing, the rooms, restaurants, facilities and more! The only thing I noticed and wasn’t very happy about it was the reception where I found a very “cold” welcoming, not friendly! Helpful yes, but some of the staff need a bit of training on how to be more welcoming, friendly and not sound rude! I also asked if we could check out late and pay extra fee no problem and the answer was “check out late? No no no because someone else will have to check in….unfortunately” the answer was ok but the tone and how she said it, not very nice! So I hope next time I have a different experience in that part.. very cool place for the kids too ☺️

It's a very scenic location. However it's very overpriced. The rooms are clean but run down and in need of an upgrade. Carpeting, shower, and mattresses could use replacing. At night if anyone in the neighbouring room uses a tap, the pipes creak loudly throughout your room. Soundproofing is awful, I could hear the neighbouring rooms conversation. Reception staff were lovely and the grounds were pretty but otherwise, not worth $340 for one night.
