Bowral Boutique Motel

Boutique implies a added touch … sadly the only added touch is the creative clever marketing Our room rate was 240per night … very high for this type of simple motel The room was old and felt a little damp .. heavy rain did not help .. and no cover between vehicle and room The furniture filled the small room and sadly the most important item the bed was rather old and not super comfortable … (boutique implies super soft and comfy linen pillows duvet etc… sadly not) The front door was difficult to open … it took several tries each time we arrived .. there is a gap in the door therefore a draft … Fridge was small and old… noisey … we turned off during the night ! The motel advised a nearby restaurant for dinner … bistro social … 10/10 suggestion it was amazing Although not luxury at all … location is great !

This hotel thinks about you!.. I received a text en route advising me of our room number and door code.. easy peasy.. So contactless check in achieved. We arrived in the dark and drove past the motel twice before our headlights caught the flag at the entry. Lights please! They recommended a local restaurant a few minutes walk away which was of the silver service/high end variety but good. Our room was ok with a small fridge with milk and cereal left for breakfast. Nice touch. Light switches needed a clean and I hate shampoo bottles nailed to the wall with a pump ‘barrier’ to make sure you don’t use too much but apart from that the room was well appointed. The old wall hairdryer was broken but a hand held was in the cupboard. No undercover parking so frost removal required! Overall a good place to stop on the way to Canberra?
