Happy Wanderer Motel Bendigo Children Not Permitted over 18s Only

The motel owner/manager was very rude, unfriendly and unpleasant. Some basic things we enquired about when booking didn't actually exist. It was not possible for us to stay the night because the facilities they offered did not meet our special needs.

We are 2 women over 60 years of age and we booked a night's stay at The Happy Wanderer Motel in Bendigo. When we arrived we noted you couldnt park by the room. When we asked the motel owner/manager told us it was not possible to park by the room. We told him this was not negotiable for us and asked for a refund, that we'd find somewhere else to stay. He said this was not a good enough reason for a refund. He was very unpleasant and unhelpful. We had to leave before he called the police on us for complaining. Take care if you decide to stay there, stay on their good side or they turn nasty.

This is a great place to stay , beds are comfy , very clean , nice and quiet location , easy access and owner very accommodating, will definitely stay again, used for work commitments close to CBD , easy parking plenty seating in the outdoors areas

Ok. I’ve stayed here three times now but that was the last. I’ve been threatened with a visit as “they have my address “ and they’re also going to post my credit card details on the web, so yes I’ve had to cancel it. All because I wrote an honest review regarding after hours non service I got. I’ve never received text messages like the ones I got from this place. Do yourself a huge favour and book anywhere else as had been suggested by multiple other people. It’s such a shame as I really liked the place.

Very clean and beautifully decorated room. Super comfy king size bed. Staff were very welcoming and great communication. Short walk to town or tram stop. Highly recommend staying here. You won't be disappointed.

The one night stay for me and my family was great. We used the pool because it was really hot, but at the same time refreshing. The rooms were nice at tidy and had everything you needed for the one night stay. The beds were comfortable through the night and there was no noise from other cabins which felt like a retreat. This motel deserves a 5 and definitely would go back.
