Got a really lovely welcome when we arrived. And checking out helpful with suggestions.
Only problem we had was very noisy guests constantly in and out and the doors banging.

Clean, quiet, spacious. Nice shower and bathroom amenities. It was great to have access to a mini bar. Managers and staff super friendly. Good off street parking.
Bairnsdale is a large country town. The Catholic Church as you you enter from the Melbourne side on the left is definitely worth a visit. A volunteer is available and has a wealth of information in relation to the church and history of the area. Not to be missed.
There are plenty of shops, the Potted Pear, gift wares, is great.
There are museums, historical and Aboriginal.
Bairnsdale is a lovely place for a day visit.

Typical Australian town which is busy during the day and completely dead at night. Felt quite safe to walk around early evening but can't comment on late evening.All usual shops available.
We ate at the Cow & Fish Pub which was excellent for food but lacked soft furnishings in the dining area. Felt it was a bit like a social club rather than a hotel/restaurant.
Very convenient for us as travelling down to Paynesville and Lakes Entrance which is only a 25 minute drive away. Also played golf at Metung Country Club which was excellent including lunch at the club house.

Our stay was way too short.
Our stay was way too short. Bairnsdale allows you the perfect location to explore the region.
You have to try the Thai restaurant Cinnamon, it was amazing and the flavours are on point.
We ventured to Metung and Lakes Entrance and could have easily done multiple days at both locations.

Apple Maps was confused/confusing about cemetery location.
Apple Maps was confused/confusing about cemetery location. Not fun on foot! Luckily the locals were super kind.
Info centre: friendly and knowledgeable
Beautiful Catholic Church. Pleasant library. Nice CBD to walk around - houses, trees
Loved my walk by the river and seeing the bats!

RSL served us the wrong order steak that was boot leather.
RSL served us the wrong order steak that was boot leather. surrounding cafes served overpriced meals. A lot of foot traffic around left us not leaving doors unlocked. We used it as a destination for the hotel. And that is where it ended. however we only stayed one night.

The Mitchel River Tavern is an interesting place to stay.
The Mitchel River Tavern is an interesting place to stay. Close to the centre of Bairnsdal, it has comfortable accommodation, a Bistro, Barm, Club and off-street parking.
Staff were helpful and checkin and out was fast and relaxed.
Previously known as Kansis City the motel is showing its age - BUT despite that the new owner was most welcoming and already started on the needed upgrades. It has the best location in Bairnsdale being on the main road in the center of the city. Sure, there quite a few things to do but if you are looking the most convenient central site in the city and needing a comfortable, quiet night you should consider the Castle (previously the Kansas City)
Everything, from the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed.
The room was amazing, so beautifully decorated, clean, new, and fresh.
Massive bath towels, great channel selection, very comfy bed.
We had dinner in the hotel restaurant, which was beautiful. The staff made us feel so welcome.
The food was delicious.
Absolutely nothing negative to say.
Highly recommend and will definitely stay again.
Thankyou ☺️
The property was close to the shops and they have a beautiful garden at the property. The hosts were very welcoming. They took their time to show us to the room and also suggested places to visit while we were in Bairnsdale which was very helpful as we have never been in that part of Victoria. We will definitely visit again.
The facilities felt fresh and up-to-date - the room was clean, spacious and bright. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the owner was lovely. I recommend the hotel restaurant, too. There didn't seem to be many restaurants within walking distance, so my friend and I had breakfast there each morning and really enjoyed it.
Breakfast is not provided at the Hotel, but it is located a very short walk to a selection of quality cafes that provide great breakfast options. We travelled to the Hotel from Melbourne by train, and the Hotel is only a short walk from the Bairnsdale train station, so it was very convenient, indeed!
Very nice all round, well appointed rooms, good shower pressure spottlessly clean bed is softer then most hotels but for me very comfortable. Half the parking is open air the half that is under cover has high clearance 3m plus. Dinning 7 days, room service hot breakfast with a chief not just a cook.
Ian checked us in and was just lovely as was Alan during our interactions with him. The rooms were very clean and well stocked. Everything was easy to access. Kids loved the swimming pool. Just stayed one night but was honestly the best night in terms of lovely service and how clean the rooms were.
Debbie & Ian were so lovely, especially when we had to rush our little one to the hospital and left our room in quite a state!
Lovely clean rooms, all that you’d need on a quick stay. Would definitely recommend to others looking to stay in Bairnsdale. Thanks 🙏
The Riversleigh is the most quaint & stunning place to stay, beautifully decorated with Victorian era, perfect location & complimentary breakfast which exceeded my expectations. Everything was perfect - we will definitely return when visiting Bairnsdale again.
It's off the main drag, so it's much quieter than the previous place we stayed at in Bairnsdale. It's not sparkly new, but it's perfectly fine. Nothing to complain about, and the staff (the manager at the desk) was very helpful and cheery.
Reasonable priced accommodation with a small underground car park. The rooms are adequate, comfortable, a decent size and have really good showers. The hotel has a decent restaurant. Good accommodation for an overnight or a few days stay.
Exactly what you need for a quick stop in Bairnsdale. Nice, clean simple motel on the Main Rd. Used before and will use again when travelling through. Communication perfect.
The room was comfortable and clean. The location was central to everything in Bairnsdale. It was lovely and quiet. The perfect stop over stay for our family of 3.
Great older style hotel but with good, clean facilities and staff were helpful. Room was clean and well organised. Close to Bairnsdale train station and to town.
