Needed a "pet-friendly" place to stop over on our trip back from Melbourne to Adelaide. While the motel is a little dated, the room was clean and well-equipped with generous supplies of tea, coffee, milk etc Service at both check in and check out were efficient and friendly. We were pleasantly surprised to find a good Malaysian Restaurant in the town (Camca Garpu). Overall a pleasant, refreshing way to break the journey.

A necessary stay en route to Melbourne but Bordertown deserves better. Cost was exactly the same as a far superior room at Robe- no comparison.
