Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Brent was understanding to my needs to have a corner room and a large carpark. Didn’t disappoint. This property also has water hoses to wash the car and windscreen squeegee to clean and get rid of bugs. The room is spacious, newly renovated, comfortable bed with nice furniture and a kitchenette Although I had my own drinks and snacks, the fridge was well stocked and was reasonably priced. The property layout was well designed and the grounds well maintained. Lake Weerona is just across the road. My only complaint is the Aircondition was noisy during the night.

We have stayed here several times now. The rooms are absolutely spotless and the small kitchenette accommodates simple meals. Rooms are of a good size and the location of the motel is excellent, with a lake opposite and good eateries down the road. We will definitely be staying again in the future.

While this is not a high end resort or even a top class hotel, I have given it 5 stars because as far as motels go, it doesn't get much better than this! From the moment we checked in it was professional all the way. No need to visit the information centre. Our host had all that covered and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and informed. The room was lovely. Freshly refurbished I think, it had been done with the comfort of the traveller in mind rather that a minimum budget. Breakfast was available which was a pleasant surprise because the other 4 motels we had stayed didn't offer any breakfast options. Not only was it offered, it provided both continental and cooked options and the quality was as good as any trendy cafe. The bed was divine and the bathroom modern and efficient. The owners are genuinely proud of this property and work hard to offer a luxurious experience for a reasonable price. This property proves that despite 2 years of COVID, people can offer quality accommodation to travellers who are trying to support local tourism. I couldn't fault it. We'll be back.

This is solid comfort defined. Ridiculously large fluffy towels, comfy beds and pillows, kind and efficient service and beautiful breakfasts brought to your door. The well thought out and clean rooms are also unnervingly quiet as well for living at such close quarters. Nice. Can’t recommend this more as one of the most honest places I’ve stayed in for a long time.

Spotless room and facilities. Had all the required home away from home amenities and was very comfortable. There was also a pool and bbq facility which I sadly didn’t have time to make use of but looked inviting. They also paid attention to the small things like ice scrapers near the cars to clear out the cold morning ice.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a glowing review. we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us whilst in Bendigo on a business trip. Our pool and BBQ Area sure is popular especially through the warmer months.. Maybe you will need to organize to come back and stay when the weather warms up and enjoy the facilities.. Thanks for noticing the small touches we provide like the window washers / scrapers for your car... It sure can be icy some mornings in Bendigo. Best Wishes, Brent & Jody

So glad I booked the Tea House Motor Inn for a midweek stay in Bendigo. It is directly opposite Lake Wooreena so getting a walk in is very easy. The property is very well maintained and it is obvious that Brent and Jody are proud of their property. The pool and BBQ area is very pleasant and whilst we didn’t use it, I’m sure many people who go there would enjoy it. We had a King Spa room (23) which was spotless and inviting. The room itself was a good size and has been recently renovated with a kitchenette including microwave, fridge, toaster and kettle. Crockery and cutlery for 2 is also provided. The bathroom was very spacious with a spa and a very large walk in shower and overhead rain shower head. Very luxurious and unexpected. We were very impressed that there were 4 large bath sheets provided as well. At check in I was made to feel very welcome by Jody and given a complimentary newspaper and tube of hand sanitiser! A sign of the times! Later when checking out the local attractions etc on the reception area wall Jody was very helpful with suggestions of what to see and where to eat etc. The Motel itself is very close to one of the Bendigo historical tramway stops as well as a couple of eateries. I highly recommend this motel and will definitely return and stay here if we go to Bendigo again! Thank you Jody and Brent! We thoroughly enjoyed your Motel.

Wonderful stay. Great location. Room was fantastic, so clean, fresh and bright. Bed so comfortable, linen so fresh & crisp, The shower with the adjustable sprays was so good after a busy day out, felt like a proper massage and the towels, well, so thick, fluffy & luxurious. The kitchenette was great and the fridge was well stocked. The breakfasts we had during our stay were so,so good. Tasted even better than they looked definately the best way to start the day. The whole property looked great. As with the rooms it looked as if people really cared about this place. The staff were great, so friendly and accommodating. Had a wonderful stay and will be looking to book here first when we return to Bendigo.

Our very clean room was a delight with everything we could want for. Easy access from car to room, cosy but with all modern
facilities as this older style motel has recently been renovated. We didnt use the pool but plenty of young 'uns were happily splashing about. In our room nothing was omitted, tea, coffee, bicuits even fresh milk, (not the horrible uht stuff), microwave, bowls, plates, cutlery, washing up facilty (incl detergent)and a dream shower showed the owners had really put thought into caring for their guests. And to top it off a large screen telly with Netflix and Prime. We stayed three nights and could have stayed for much longer. Will choose here for our next stay.

Dear snadyau, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review... Wow, you go to great lengths to mention ALL of our added bonuses... All of the features stand out to our guests but we sure do receive a lot of feedback regarding our FRESH MILK that we offer and that we offer the customer a choice out of Full Cream or Trim (Low Fat Milk). We personally don't like the UHT stuff that a lot of motels have, so thats why we go to the extra to give guests sealed fresh milk bottles. We are so glad you enjoyed your 3 nights with us and we look forward in welcoming you back to stay if you are ever in Bendigo again. Best Wishes, Brent & Jody

Staying overnight in Bendigo we chose the Tea House as we have stayed there a number of years ago what a lovely clean motel the only word I can think of is awesome.
The room was modern and very clean the heater worked really well as it was a cold night we slept soundly and would highly recommend this establishment one of the best motels we have stayed in. The staff are lovely and friendly and this motel is across from the lake. Lovely quiet area. Very highly recommended.
