This place is horrible, do yourself a favour and stay somewhere else. The place was full of drugos and prostitutes!! 
The manager is rude and complains about his ex wife.. something we really didn’t need or want to know about. 
The rooms are ok size but smelt musky. The bed was rock hard with a stained cover that clearly hadn’t been washed in months. The bathroom was dirty aswell and there was no hot water at all! The free wifi was hopeless! And the remote to the tv was missing! Bad experience!

Don’t bother!!

Stayed for one night recently. The room was a really good size and clean. The wifi was hopeless, really not much point having it. Small bathroom with a good shower. There were ceiling lights by the door and in the middle, and a lamp on a low table between beds. This meant the light was not good enough to read in bed. We had a queen bed and a single. The queen was very soft and the single perfect, made my husband swap at 3am so I could get some sleep. None of these issues life threatening. This motel is on the left on the highway, coming into Echuca, so not near the touristy part of town. Not an issue for us. 

Good size...

We were due to stay at the Rivergum for three nights in January. Less than four hours prior to checking in I received a phone call from the motel saying that our reservation was cancelled. He said that his staff lived over the NSW border and couldn’t get across and there would be no one to service the rooms. He also said he hadn’t been taking bookings for the last two days because of this issue. We had two rooms booked for our two families, and were booked for three nights. The person I spoke to on the phone was very rude, unapologetic and could have told us of the cancellation in advance, especially given he’d known about his situation for two days. We did not get to stay at this motel but going by the service I received on the phone I would not recommend staying here.

Our booking was cancelled with four hours’ notice 

We stayed here for 1 night in 2 separate rooms, both rooms were spotless. Even walking into our room on arrival we commented on how clean the room smelt. The room was quiet and comfortable, ground floor and easy to find. Loved our stay here, thank you!

Nice and clean

We really enjoyed the river gum motel!
Karen and the team were amazing, so helpful and friendly. Reasonable pricing, lovely accommodation, very vintage style (see pics below). The pool and courtyard area was lovely and clean, they are located about 2-3ks from the main town, however this motel is a little gem! Please check this out if you are a couple or a family! You'll love it 

Relaxation in vintage style

We stayed in a family room which was very clean and spacious. Comfortable beds and great value for money. Adjoining room for kids. Has small kitchenette and good size main room. Staff were very helpful and pleasant.

Great Affordable Motel

We are a couple who stayed here for 2 nights, from 31 December till 2 January. 

This was the most expensive of the five hotels where we stayed during our Victorian trip, yet was sub-standard, definitely not worth anything like the $130 per night we paid. It is similar in standard to the hotel we stayed at in Horsham for $90 per night.

Our room was very basic: old, poor wifi (cutting in and out), no cutlery other then 1 teaspoon, no plug for the sink, curtains which didn't keep out all the morning light, an ironing board (available from reception) without legs and with a very thin cover. Reception doesn't open till after 8am, which is a problem if you need something. (I wanted a breakfast bowl and spoon for the cereals I had.)

We booked in the belief that the room rate included breakfast, as that is how it is advertised on hotels.com. Alas, on checking in we found out they don't provide breakfast at this time of year; I'd booked directly, so the reception lady said what is on hotels.com doesn't apply. 

Two good features: our room included a microwave oven, and the parking area included a hose which I used to clean our car, which was very dirty after the recent dust storm. 

The hotel is on the highway, 5km from the city centre, so its location is a minus. 

Overall, we found this motel very disappointing and over-priced. We will not stay here again.

very disappointing and over-priced

We came up from Melbourne for one night, would have loved to stay another few nights. 
Great location, big rooms, clean.  The hotel is dated but I don’t see this as an issue. There was a pool and playground for the kids, tennis court and bbq area, unfortunately too cold for us to enjoy in this visit. The staff were friendly also. 


One night

We arrived late but manager waited for us anyway. Very helpful and even threw in a breakfast for us. Room was comfy and clean. Air con worked a treat.  Far enough back off the road not to he disturbed by road noise.

Nice place to stay

Karin is Very nasty, and I have a feeling she is very reasist,telling me what to do mind your own business.Got a sweet tounge,to begin with,and make new coustomers,but you can see her after few stays,how bad she can be bathrooms are disgusting and rooms are so smelly.
