What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This is a lovely country motel. Rooms are clean and have everything you need - good shower, clean comfy beds etc. what makes this motel shine is the great service and location. It’s right next to the Meeniyan hotel so you can go for a lovely pub meal and be home in 1 minute. Would stay again.”
“Went to the Pub for dinner. Matt so friendly and helpful. Steak and veggies melted in my mouth. Meals came quick and were perfect in temperature and taste. Drinks cold. I’ll be back!”
“Fantastic motel in the heart of Meeniyan. It has all the basics with a comfortable bed, smart TV (a little small), free Wi-fi and a small fridge.”
“I came to Meeniyan to ride the GSRT. The Meeniyan motel is clean, comfortable and welcoming. The bonus was availability of quality gravel bikes for hire at a reasonable rate. I highly recommend both the motel and the bike hire if planning a cycling excursion.”
“Rented 3 bikes and they were great quality. Friendly staff and bikes were ready with freshly pumped tires and many new helmets to choose from.”
