Detailed Reviews
I have stayed here in the past and find that this is the best place to stay in Hamilton from comfortable spacious, clean rooms plus all the things like tea and coffee and some biscuits and always cold water in the fridge and if you don't want to go to the Dinning Room for dinner there is a toaster and microwave and electric jug in the room, BUT if you miss the Restaurant you have missed some great food cooked to perfection and of course a range of Wine, Beer & Spirits.
When I know I will be in Hamilton I E-Mail a couple of day ahead so I know I will get a room. Harry mein host is always happy and ready to talk.
couldn't ask for more.

A very clean quiet room with a comfy bed a good shower plus you don't have to go looking for somewhere to eat it is right there in the Bandicoot Dinning Room, good food cooked the way you want it, plus the owners are very friendly and are helpful in local tourist attractions.
I only stay one night as I travel through Hamilton once a month it's the only place I stay at.
O K as I said it's not 5 Stars but why have that when you get personnel attention from the owners, I am sure if you try it once you will always return

Stayed only one night as it was to take a friend to the Hamilton Hospital for an operation the next day. The receptionist was very friendly and helpfull. The beds were VERY comfortable. The rest was not completely satisfactory. The room very small (we are two large ladies). The hand basin for the bathroom was in the main room (very disturbing especially during the night). The carpet had NOT been vacuumed properly (I kept on stepping on what seemed like gravel). The A/C was so noisy we had to turn it off. The clock didn't work. The TV ancient. Fortunately with "lockdown" there was not a lot of traffic otherwise it would have been a sleepless night with that noise.

The rooms are neat, clean and well organised. The showers worked well. Entertainment (TV) needs a bit of improvement especially if you have children and or for rainy days when there is not much to be done.
There is no cooking facility or central kitchen if you wanted to cook your own meals. This would be handy if someone stayed here for an extended period of time.
The management and staff are very friendly and helpful. Always available for assistance. Very nice place to stay if travelling for work purposes.

The room was the most basic I've stayed in for a while. It was clean, but only had the bed, a very small table, and two kitchen chairs, nowhere to sit and work from, or relax. No in room meals or breakfast available, and no proper kitchen, but I didn't expect that for the price. It was a lower priced room, yet in my opinion, overpriced for what I got as it did not provide much comfort. Did not use the restaurant.

The room suited us fine. Good kitchenette, shower pressure and the bed was comfy. Friendly staff. Didn't get to go to the restaurant but will next time. parking outside the door, heaps of linen and electric blankets. The motel is a couple of kms out of town but you have a car its no big deal. Thanks all!

I would highly recommend the Bandicoot to everyone. The whole place is neat and tidy, and the price was very reasonable. Our room was lovely, cozy and warm. We had a king size bed which was very comfy. The restaurant was exceptional. Beautiful food and a great plateful. The staff are very friendly and happy. We had a large truck which they accommodated with a spot to park just outside our room.
We had a wonderful stay and will be looking for reasons to go back!

Good clean room with all the basic amenities you need just outside town on the Melbourne side.. Good internet and water pressure, everything worked. Cant comment on restaurant due to covid. Very good price for room. Staff very accomodating, handled our late arrival with no issues whatsoever. Good spot to base for area.

I'm sorry I didn't get to eat at the restaurant, as I arrived late and had to leave early.
Maybe call the office directly.
Good luck
I don't think it is, but you're better off contacting them direct to check
Am not 100% sure
Ring the motel and ask very specific questions about your needs. Then if this motel is not suitable there are of other ones closer into the city itself - give them a ring. Hope this helps.
