I'm sure many potential holiday makers have driven past Norwood House Receptions and either not noticed it, or considered it a reception venue only. That is their loss. Behind the reception area is a motel block respendant with collonade along the front making an impressive first impression. Don't get me wrong, some maintenance work needs to be done but the bones of the facility are all good, and the new owners know what needs to be done. Inside however the room was excellent, with a king bed and a king single, the most comfortable since my favoured Sheraton Hotel beds. The room was spotless and the price affordable. Special mention must go to the manager, Laurie, who went out of his way to ensure we had everything we needed. Important after day surgery at a nearby private hospital. Opt for one of his home cooked breakfasts for a special treat. We randomly chose to stay here due to its convenient location, close to all that Mornington offers. Our random choice turned out to be first prize in the lucky dip. We look forward to returning in coming months and to see the new owners plans develop into fruition.

I paid $140 for a room with 2 singles and 1 double bed (family suite) We had room 1 which was the closest to the very busy highway. Pros None. Cons Where do I begin.... I have stayed in plenty of modest hotels and enjoyed my stay but this place is just a joke. Modest should not mean filthy ! I slept in one of the single beds and it was so saggy in the middle that it was like sleeping in a wheelbarrow. Springs were poking out and it was probably the most uncomfortable night I have endured... ever ! The room was disgusting as you can see in the attached photos. The chairs and carpets were stained and the bathroom tiles were covered in mould. The windows were dirty and the window sills had three dead flies on them. The fly screen was damaged and the winder ,window and screen were covered in dirt and grime - filthy ! The ”welcome” mat was damaged and worn and was surrounded by ciggie buts, dirt and leaves. The ash tray hadn't been emptied and had several buts in it. The couple next door had a 20 minute shower at 3 in the morning and the noise was unbelievable The traffic noise from the highway was so bad that even ear plugs didn't help to block it. I just can't believe the glowing reviews of this motel especially the ones saying it was spotless ( my photos prove otherwise) and at $140 per night I feel totally ripped off and we couldn't wait to leave. Buyer beware !

Large room- but missing somewhere to sit and eat. For such a large room strange that there is no table and chairs as there is more than enough room. Breakfast is included- in a COVID safe way. Cereal is in small single use pack-the only issue is bread just in a bag. In the current climate I’m not sure if people are happy to rely on some else hygiene standards. Maybe a single muffin sealed in a single use. The locations is on a main road, which I was aware of-but may put some off. Windows are of good quality and stop the noise. The motel is above a bistro and hotel so no need to walk far for dinner. The bistro has a wide range and offer a senior special $20 for 3 courses. The meals are huge and of good quality.

Meet expectations.

The room and bathroom are very large, but the breakfast is simple, but it is still good. It seems that there is a small city swimming pool. It has not passed. The hotel is not far from the place to eat and the supermarket. Mornington Island is very big. It is worth spending a few more. It’s a good day, there is a zoo on the island where you can take a photo of koala.

Checked in late for an overnight stay, and it was brilliant. Lovely rooms, well appointed and clean, excellent location, with views of the bay. Friendly check in staff. Dinner and drinks at the hotel was great, good range, excellent venue and fantastic food. Plenty of off street parking for the Harley, but not a fan of gravel carparks. Great place to stay.
