We usually stay across the road and were not sure of the name. The Econo Lodge Motel Woongara came up on Google while travelling to Rutherglen so we booked. Warmly welcomed upon arrival. Owners are eager to please. Big recently updated room, large LCD TV. Everything was spotless. Cheese platter $15 available from reception was a nice touch to have... More

Thank you for your review. Our king beds are AAA approved long singles which are joined together to make a king bed. All our king beds have a king size mattress topper to ensure our guests have a good night sleep. We are in the process of updating some of the mattresses as they are due and this will be... More

Had planned to stay at another motel but it was fully booked. We were very pleased we stayed here. Everything was good from check in to check out. The room was spotless. The king sized bed was so comfortable and as others have already said it is evident the owners care about their business and customers. Highly recommend.

We booked online and when we arrived the first thing we noticed was the stand of white roses on the manicured lawn. These people show they care about the appearance of their motel, and they care about their customers with little things like finding me some low fat milk, and a couple of choccies in the fridge, along with some...

We checked into a family unit in EconoLodge on a 36 degree day and worried that the small, brick units would not be able to cope with the weather. There was one older air conditioning unit in the main bedroom (which was also the lounge) and the kids had to make do with a fan in their room. Luckily the... More

We stayed 4 days recently at the motel in Rutherglan and loved the attention to detail, especially in the rooms, with many little extras that make a difference. Even bucket and squeegy to clean windscreens. All the info was current and detailed, the place was very clean and quiet, bed vey comfortable and the surrounds well kept. Aircon in room... More

This family run motel is well situated in this extremely clean and beautiful town. It is within walking distance from the center of town and most restaurants. Just across the way from Rutherglen Wineries.

Having often travelled to Rutherglen as a couple, it was time to bring the kids (9 and 7) along. Ruth and her family provided accommodation and welcome that suited our family! TV in kids room was a blessing at times and the pool environment and trampoline kept them entertained enough that we could trade time to go to wineries with... More

Great location right across from the Tuileries Restaurant (highly recommended). Even though it's in Rutherglen- you still don't get gouged for price. Clean, comfortable and friendly. We got a "king" (2 doubles pushed together- be warned) for $105 mid-week. The room has everything you could possibly need: bed with decent linens, TV, couch, night stands, hair dryer, small fridge, iron... More

We have stayed in quite a few country motels on our trips around Australia and this was a gem. We couldn't get accommodation in Beechworth (which we visited on our way to Rutherglen) but we actually much preferred Rutherglen to Beechworth after comparing the two. Our room was very clean, had a very comfortable, quite new bed with clean linen... More
