The Coal Creek Motel, Korumburra: Country hospitality at its best!


You can't beat country hospitality when it's done well and the Coal Creek Motel does it very, very well. You'll find the motel just on the outskirts of Korumburra, in South Gippsland, just opposite the Coal Creek Museum and Park.

We stayed here for a local basketball tournament, and we all agreed that it was the best place we've stayed so far. The owners were so helpful, even going beyond their call of duty to give us a lift to the pub and back!

Now that's service.

Daylesford Review - a relaxing weekend escape in the country.


March 2013. Daylesford, Victoria. 

The country. A spa. Galleries. Cafes. A motel. A lake. My wife. X

This was my slightly out of character Facebook post after a weekend in the popular country town of Daylesford, Victoria. In my defence, I defy the toughest, meanest, most unromantic and insensitive alpha male in the world not to turn into a big softy after a few days of relaxation here. And I am none of the above, so a meltdown was always on the cards.
