Black Forest Motel

This motel was one of the best that we have stayed in. We arrived about 11AM (check-in is 2PM) and asked receptionist Margaret if it was possible to leave our bags there and have a key. Otherwise, we would not be able to check in till about 7PM. She happily put us in unit 11 which has a larger than normal ensuite a good size room. It included a Queen bed and a King Single bed. If it was my motel, I’d have just a Single bed rather than a King Single in the room so there would be a tad more room to allow an extra chair. You basically need to be lying in bed to watch the TV which looked like it was about a generous 47” size. The only real negative we found was the excessive brightness of the overhead lights and particularly the bedhead lights. This motel has a separate and very well equipped self service breakfast room with a BBQ area at its rear, all part of the tariff. There were ten different options of breakfast cereals, eggs and nicely lean bacon in the fridge. If you are one who likes a big breakfast and has the time to prepare it, a full breakfast would probably cost you over $30 in a local cafe. The motel is only about 60 mts from the Black Forest Way, but not much traffic uses it at night and we were not conscious of any noise once in our room. The photo that comes up on-line appears to be from the balcony of the Royal Hotel in Daylesford, not the Black Forest Motel.

Extremely generous breakfast. Super clean motel room and community kitchen. Fr i endly staff . Pet friendly ,our little dog loved it too. Great l o cation as so much to see in the surrounding areas with a 10 minute drive. Definitely will return.

The best value and cheapest accommodation in the Macedon Ranges. Close to Mount Macedon, Hanging Rock and Mount Monument Winery Restaurant. Easy drive to Melbourne and Tullamarine Airport. We also took a quick trip across to Daylesford Spa.
