Room was vey old but clean and comfortable. Bathroom while clean had a rusted basin and tiny shower. Water in shower was just a dribble.

Lovely older property in very good condition. The weatherboard buildings have a real charm and open out onto a large lawn at the rear, with a small patio , complete with a cafe table and two chairs. We had a pleasant evening with a pizza from town, and a couple of beers, enjoying the surroundings whilst staying dry in the rain. I would go out of my way to stay here again.

Was an overnight stay whilst travelling. It was very reasonably priced with a self serve continental brekkie. Not a flash place but clean and tidy. Comfy bed, I use my own pillow but theirs looked great. Dead spot for Vodaphone. I would be happy to stay again if travelling.

Fantastic stay and excellent value for money. Cant complain about our experience both times we have had a great time. Its nice and quiet, feels safe and just a relaxed atmosphere. The only suggestion i would make is the breakfast room needs dusting as the ceiling is covered in massive cobwebs.

Kitchen with Gas Hob, Microwave(Conventional oven absent), full-size fridge, Utensils, Comfy beds, Reverse AC in HALL, Main bedroom has ceiling Fan and the smaller bedroom has a stand fan. Sofa and dining table. The guest information booklet is very informative Outdoor Swimming pool Shopping center and Woolworth /Coles within 4km What I did not like: Nothing. Would suggest keeping some kitchen towels/tissues in the kitchen.

Greg and his staff at the Garden View were outstanding. They let our group of 10 check in early and even let us check out late. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Free continental breakfast hit the spot. Garden and grass areas were magnificently maintained. Hotel was very quiet. Definitely worth popping in if you're passing through and need somewhere to stay.

i honestly don't know where to start with my review. i suppose ill work backwards- i don't know how these rooms can be compliant in its offerings to paying guests. i ended up sleeping in my car and we left in the middle of the night due to me becoming so unwell. the room (20) was disgusting, i wouldn't let a dying animal stay in there, the carpet was due to be replaced 20 years ago and it shows. the room had the most overwhelming stench, the odour has seeped into the walls, the raggedy useless curtains and into the carpet. the windows and door onto the "balcony" are all water damaged, rotted and the paint peeling. the bed had black hair throughout the bedding (dry heaves) and the bed frame has come away from the the bathroom- yikes i can see why no pictures are used by any as advertising, the are inaccessable, if i was a large person and suffered more from my arthritis i would not have been able to squeeze myself thru the 50cm gap into the shower recess. the sink taps barely work and are so close to the actual sink you can't place your hands underneath to wash them or even wet a toothbrush. The toilet was leaking onto the tiles below with poorly substituted plumbers the solution. the front door did not seal adequately and it was telling to find a mostly used can of bug spray in the room to keep the locals at bay. these rooms should not be available to the public and are a health hazard. i will absolutely never consider staying in this revolting excuse for accommodation again

Response from Greg on 23 Oct 2023
Thank you Stacey Herpes for your novelesque review, it was a cool story but needed some dragons to make it more believable. We acknowledge that the budget rooms are older in style but at the price that they are offered, one would require the equivalent mental capacity of a soggy cornflake to expect a room at the Sebel was on offer. Our cleaners indicated that the room had been fully occupied, which would dismiss your claim of sleeping in your car. Also if you had bother to read the leaflet in the room, you would have become aware of a pervading odour that has plague the entire town for some weeks. It does not emanate from our property nor are we responsible. A factory some distance away is currently, under the direction of the EPA, undertaking works to resolve the issue. The carpet, which you describe as 20 years old is in fact 12 months old and you are merely trying to gild the lillee. Our cleanliness score is a significantly strong factor in our overall score, which again makes your other claims look very weak. I would suggest that you undertake activities that may make the very large gap between your beer budget and champagne taste lessen to some degree. Otherwise you will continue to lead a very miserable life.We are pleased that you have chosen never to stay again.RegardsGreg.P.S. Have a nice day.

We made an overnight stopover here on our car trip from Canberra to Melbourne in September 2023 booked via expedia.com.au. After a long drive from Melbourne we arrived after hours at 9.00PM. Check in was easy as instructions were communicated via text, email and phone beforehand. We checked into Villa 23 on Southern Avenue and were pleasantly surprised by the spacious and clean unit. There was designated parking adjacent to the unit which facilitated the unloading and loading of luggage. Split air-conditioning and heating unit was provided. Additional full-length mirror outside of bathroom would have been a nice bonus. Location was quiet and a short car ride to the city centre. The continental breakfast was adequate in a chalet-like setting. All in all, a near perfect.

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay at one of Gardenview Lodge's 2 bedroom suites. Weekend get together with friends and 6 to son with plenty of space for play and perfectly appointed cabin. Clean, spacious, all amenities. Highly recommend Gardenview for anyone visiting Wangaratta.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa. As soon as we walked in the door we couldn’t believe how modern the place was and the cleanliness! Staff were very friendly, and we got a complementary breakfast the next morning. I will definitely be booking again in the future!

Great place for a stopover to break a long drive. Quiet and comfortable cabins with a small but well equipped kitchen area that was easy to use to heat up a meal. I was back in the road the next day feeling well rested.

The lady we saw at reception and at breakfast was lovely and a real credit to the place. The beds were fiine with lovely clean pressed sheets and pillowcases. We had a budget room for just one night but it was clean and warm. Milk and bottles of water in the fridge,etc Breakfast was a real delight - help yourself to cereal, fruit toast and marmalade. What more could one ask for? We will definitely be back. Yes, some fo the failities need a touch up of paint and some TLC but that does not detract from the good points of the motel!

Very basic. But a decent price. Noisy and issues with bathroom such as leaky taps, lifting tiles - trip hazard and poor flow of hot water for a quick shower. I wouldn't stay again even for one night, due to the noise factor. Road noise throughout the night and clearly audible conversations and noises from the neighbouring rooms through the walls with all doors and windows closed. (Stayed in a budget double room)
