I am going to be honest, I didn’t know anything about Clunes before I stayed there. It was an overnight stop because I couldn’t get accommodation in Ballarat. Clunes is a lovely little village in a valley. Lots of history, which I would love to come back and explore. Easy drive to Ballarat. The Clunes Motel is an older-style motor-inn, so if you are after Hyatt-like facilities it is not your place. What I like about older-fashioned accommodation options is the generous facilities, including microwave, kettle and toaster in the room, a decent sized refrigerator, enough crockery, cutlery and glassware so you didn’t have to bother reception. It is winter. The room had heating on when we arrived and there were extra blankets and pillows as well as electric blankets on the beds. This stay may have been unintentional, but I will definitely be back and I will book in at this motel and check out the Bottle Museum while I am there. Friendly service too!
