WE'RE OPEN,
​AND YOU'RE WELCOME

Travel restrictions have been eased, and you must be itching to get out of the house.

​We're ready for you. Come on over.

CLEAN & HYGIENIC

We are taking great care to ensure the Gariwerd Motel is a clean, hygienic and safe place to stay.

We are following the best available advice to ensure that rooms are disinfected prior to use by new guests. We use an alcohol-based cleaning solution (mostly methylated spirits); paying close attention to frequently used surfaces such as door knobs, benchtops, light switches; and of course, lots of hand washing.

We've decided to put a hold on our delicious buffet breakfast for the moment. Buffets are a risky proposition at a time like this, so keep this in mind when planning a visit. We have also closed our kitchenette and BBQs due to the government ban on shared cooking facilities.

And we moved to a contactless check-in model. You'll be notified by text message of your room details, and you can by-pass reception and go straight to your room.

FREE CANCELLATION

Now more than ever, plans change at the last minute. Book direct with us and you will have free cancellation at any time. If something happens at the last minute and you cannot travel, because the official advice changes or your circumstances do, no problem, no cancellation fees.

EVEN MORE WELCOMING THAN USUAL

In these difficult times, we appreciate every guest even more than usual. We'll do everything we can to make you comfortable and feel at right home. Whether you are considering a weekend escape or a week long retreat, give us a call and we'll get you sorted.

Many thanks,

Tony

Around the Grounds

These are just a few of the pictures we've taken over the past few months. There are more than enough kangaroo photos alone to fill another gallery, but maybe you'd rather just come on up/down/over here and take a few of your own.
