Monto Colonial Motor Inn

“Needed a place to stay in Monto, and couldn’t be happier, room is very clean and comfortable, dining room is cozy with a nice wood heater. Cliff the owner is super friendly. Food is outstanding you won’t be disappointed with the steak”

“Stayed here a few times now for work. My only gripe is the lack of power points to charge my fridge, radios, batteries for traffic lights phone and tablet. Previously had meals on the other occasions, no complaints in that regard. Service is 3 due to reception being unattended. Prefer a ground floor room because of amount of gear to unpack but beggars can’t be choosers”

“Great meals all at 1 reasonable price with buffet included. Good atmosphere and good country service. Rooms are clean and reasonable for the age of the establishment.”

“Staying here was akin to staying at a close friend's place that you haven’t seen in years. Georgie and Cliff are exceptional people and I can see how hard they work to make people’s stay as comfortable as possible. This was my first time in Monto visiting for work and someone had suggested that I go to a local pub for dinner, but when I saw the bar and restaurant at the Colonial Inn, I couldn’t resist, and I wasn’t disappointed. I was greeted at the bar by Cliff while I waited for the kitchen to open at 6PM. Usually in these situations I avoid conversations with the bar staff as I don’t want to bother them while their working, but Cliff and I had a lovely conversation while he was pouring drinks, cleaning, and running the bar like a legend. Georgie came in and all three of us ended up chatting away like old mates until the kitchen opened. Now, I consider myself a steak snob, so when I say this was the best t-bone I’ve ever had, I like to believe that’s high praise. $35 for a MONSTER local steak and access to a bain-marie chockers full of delicious homemade sides. Potato bake, broccoli bake, roasted pumpkin, green salad, potato salad and way more. One of the best meals I’ve ever had and I genuinely mean that as a bloke who loves his food. This was just an amazing experience from someone who has spent most of their life in a city. Seeing the love, care and attention that both Georgie and Cliff put into this place will stay with me. Whenever I walk into a pub or hotel, this is the new standard I will hold and I doubt I’ll experience that again for a long time! I hope that I can visit this beautiful town again and stay for longer next time. Thanks for an awesome night, guys! I’ll be telling everyone I know about my stay at The Monto Colonial Motor Inn. Until next time!”

“Great motel, away from the noise of the main road. Clean and comfortable rooms. Food was the best I have had in a Motel for a long time, plenty of options and better than wholesome country food, this was a master class in how to keep people coming back for more, with a buffet of salads and hot vegetable dishes to help yourself with. Will be changing my stay patterns to come back again. Management and staff are very friendly and welcoming.”
