There are so many great things about this place, from the really GREAT free breakfast each morning, free soup at night, fitness room and hot tub.  There are two kitchens and heaps of bathrooms so it never felt crowded when cooking.  Quirky decor makes a great atmosphere.  Chris, the superhuman owner/manager/bed maker does it all with heaps of energy.  We loved it.

Great place to stay.

This place is quirky. We are a couple with 2 grown up children. My daughter had a single room which she thought was great. My husband and I were in a motel room ; comfortable but dark and dated. There was soup in the evening, and we enjoyed the breakfast which included pancakes and waffles.
Good value for money and the host is lovely. 

Good value and comfortable 

This was a classic hostel experience. Clean and comfy, had all bases covered. I really appreciated the owner Chris' efforts put into making this a great stay. There was complimentary breakfast, clean towels and bathmats, warm beds and a clean and well organised kitchen. The accommodation was also close to all the activities we had planned. 

Classic Backpacking Experience 

Our family enjoyed the breakfast and the stay. Will definitely return. It was clean and the bedding was warm and the the shower was hot. We enjoyed the hottub and the manager was very friendly and accommodating.

Great place to rest

Crazy comfy beds and heaps of space. Not many other stayers which meant we had tons of room to ourselves. Played pool on the dodgy pool table, enjoyed the ripper free brekky. 10000% recommend for price. :)

Super cozy

A nice little place made even sweeter by the team. Emily in particular was a delight! Made us feel right at home! No question is as too silly for her. Can’t wait to come back and stay again! Thanks!!!

Lovely little stay

I spent 2 nights at Chateau Backpackers and Motels. I had room 20.
Service was good.
Breakfast was below par.
Room was good and clean but bed was too soft for my liking. 
Water pressure and temperature in shower was acceptable.

Better than average, but not very good

Cheapest motel I have ever been to in such a great location with fantastic services. Emily on the phone was amazing and Chris was awesome providing us a wide range of offer. Free evening soup and breakfast is A+++++. Spa and pool was closed due to Covid-19 restrictions.

Overnight trip

just after I booked this motel the manager closed the bookings down, closing the motel, due to low valume of customers both because of weather and the Covid 19 virus.
The Manager went out of his way to find me somewhere else to stay at the same price.
He got me a room across the street with a competiter and paied the diffrence in price.  For this action I will definatly stay here when I return at a later date.

Above and beyond

I stayed here for two nights and the shared facilities had not been cleaned for long and did not get cleaned during our stay. The room smelled and the bedding was dirty and smelled. This accommodation is not worth the money - it was totally horrible!!!
