BIKER Friendly Pubs & Accommodation - VICTORIA

[Williamson]

Court House Hotel Ararat.

Stayed here Sunday a couple weekends back, on way home from NatRally.  Good, comfortable, clean room, A/C, TV, shared facilities, great meal (lamb shank), smooth & creamy Kilkenny Lager on tap - all for $60.  Friendly publican & staff, and locals ready for a chat.   Off-street parking available, but I left the Mighty ST1300 and trailer parked out the front, opposite the cop shop.

Will stay again.  Trying to organise October RTE here - stand by for an update on that.

Did I say they have Kilkenny lager on tap?

Kaneira Hotel, Culgoa

Nigel and I stayed here Sun 20 June 2021, on way home from Siverton RTE.   Twin share room (small but adequate), $35 per head, cold beer, great meal (T-bone you couldn't jump over), off-street parking.

Hosts Marty and Leigh know how to look after guests (Leigh cooks and does a great job).  Continental breakfast available, but bacon and eggs available next door.

Posted for those (Bodo, Dougie, may be some others) looking for budget accommodation, only around 30min NW of the City. Not far from where you guys stayed last visits.

Haven't stayed, can't comment on the standard of accommodation, but at the price, some short-comings (if any), it may be worth the risk.  Booking sites indicate from around $115 per night, but the sign out the front indicates better.



The sign was there today.

I stayed two nights at the Bell Motel on the way to and from the Cape Paterson RTE.  The room was huge and I was content with it.  It wasn't as cheap as that though.

About 5km further from the City.  Pics indicate respectable rooms.

Yeah, cheap though!
