Motels – Australian Business Directory | LocalBook
Australia’s first motel, the West End Motel in Ballina, New South Wales, opened in 1939. Since then the Austrailian motel industry has grown significantly. Australia now has well over 3,000 motels spread throughout all areas of the country.
Motels are 1-2 floor buildings that offer rooms for rent. Motel rooms usually open to the exterior of the building.
Typical room ammenities include:
- air-conditioning and heating;
- televisions with complimentary pay TV service;
- internet access via modems, data ports, or wifi;
- hairdryers;
- irons and ironing boards; and
- complimentary coffee/tea service.
Motels may also offer a restaurant and room service, a swimming pool, a laundry, or other guest convenience services such as valet dry cleaning. In addition, even when a motel does not have a restaurant, the motel will often offer a limited breakfast service.
Typically motel rooms are set-up for double occupancy. But many Australian motels will also offer larger family accommodations or suites, that may also offer limited cooking facilities.
Most motels are easily accessible to travelers from major highways and roads. Motels are often grouped together on the outskirts of towns. Motels can also be found in most major Australian tourist areas. Motels usually offer large parking areas that can often accommodate larger vehicles such as buses or RVs. Sometimes limited covered parking will be available.
Room rates will vary depending on location and the time of year you are traveling. But With room rates typically running around $110 per night, motels are a great option for both family or business travelers.
