Check in very good. Room was very comfortable and reasonable price. Nice quite area. Close to Lake and short distance to street and hospital. Staff very helpful. Additional requests were accommodated with a prompt and friendly smile. Bed very comfortable.

Property was in good location, we asked for an early check in and we got it. Clean and tidy perfect for a couple of nights away.

Due to an unfortunate circumstance, my cat and I were in urgent need of overnight accommodation. Budget on the Lake accepted a late booking, graciously agreed to house cat and human, and could not have been kinder or more helpful. Sure the rooms are small, but they’re well-designed, comfortable and clean. The chocolate and white tones are soothing, the shower is hot and the bed extremely comfortable. More comfortable than many a more expensive hotel I’ve stayed in. Budget on the Lake has the basics down pat, with an extra dollop of that country kindness which makes all the difference. Thanks Tan, your kindness was bery much appreciated.

Husband stayed here early September was then charged $300 for cleaning after apparently smoking in room. He doesn't even smoke inside at home He travels often for work and this has never been treated like this. Asked for photos for proof they can't even supply photos. Will never stay in this place again

When I reviewed after my previous stay, I forgot to add something that many travellers want - the excellent bedside reading lights. Thanks to Tam the always-cheerful proprietor & Natalie the helpful Housekeeper, another totally positive experience.

I booked here because their website and listings onTripAdvisor and *********** all said they offered room service and breakfast in the room. I was very disappointed to be told when I asked for the menu that they no longer do this. I was told this is because of covid. Which is understandable but geez, covid has been around for 2 years now, update your website and all the hotel booking sites! I would not have made the booking had I known this. Other services their website says they provide that they don't are: DVD player, in room movies, clock radio, mini bar. The wifi password in the information booklet in the room was incorrect. Milk is not supplied in the rooms. You have to ask for it, so bear this in mind late at night. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner, as they only supply a combined shampoo/conditioner/body wash. Bed was comfortable but pillows were thin so I would suggest taking your own. Location is quiet. The walls of the motel are very thin, so you can hear any noise that goes on in adjacent rooms. The rooms were extremely clean, a good size with a couch and were nicely decorated. If you are looking for a basic place to stay that is clean and roomy with no other services you won't be disappointed. However if you're looking for additional advertised services you will be let down.

My wife and I stayed here while visiting the southern Grampians. It's a perfect location for visiting the national park, especially if you also want to do other things like the coast (we did a walk around Cape Nelson light station which was only an hour and a bit by car). Within Hamilton the location is perfect, literally "on the lake." The lake is beautiful and has a 4.2-km track around it so it is nice to get up and go for a walk or a run in the morning. The motel is also within an easy walk of town for food and groceries. My expectations were not high for a motel in a country town, but this place exceeded them. Check-in and check-out was easy. Everyone is super friendly, and when we checked we were provided restaurant recommendations for breakfast. The rooms were impeccable - very clean and well appointed. In addition to the standard tea kettle, there was a refrigerator, a microwave and a toaster, as well as plates, bowls, cutlery, and glasses (including wine glasses). I can't really think of anything I would change, to be honest.
