Busselton Ithaca Motel Reviews

Good place to rest for the next challenges. Near to city centre and many other attraction. Receommended

Great location, near to Busselton Jetty and within driving distance to nice wineries and the surf coast. Great stay!

Enjoyed my brief stay. Friendly staff, clean room, good price and nice little stroll down to the main streets of Busselton and the Jetty.

Nice owner with good service

Easy to check in and nice accomodation

The staff were very nice

Good location

The room was good, the hot water was good and the parking lot was large. The front desk service was very attentive and introduced some local delicacies. It was also close to the supermarket and Busselton Jetty.

Everything very close, a large room with a great shower, a completely renovated bathroom. Just the cleaning that I didn't request so I believe that's why it wasn't there, I think that for the price it shouldn't be requested but should always be done, otherwise great place.

The room was leaking and damp. The bedding was very basic.

My room was freshly renovated and perfectly adequate in every way. Bed was comfy, fridge was cold and the shower was hot. It’s great value for money and walking distance to the Main Street, shops and the beach. What let it down was the reception area. I walked into reception to the smell of something resembling a fish and chip shop deep fryer. The front desk was a mess. The guy who gave me my keys was polite but dressed in a dirty shirt, tracksuit pants and thongs. It was quite a shame as everything from then on was great. Still the best value in Busso 👍

Clean tidy, place. Set on lovely grounds with beautiful huge old trees and the old historic Ithica house. Our room in the motel was nice, clean and tidy , basic layout, with a comfy bed. Unfortunately the freezer in the fridge was so iced up the fridge door wouldn’t close at all. We told reception but they didn’t offer to help- instead just gave us a bbq scraper to do it ourselves- which we did - spending the next 20 mins picking away at the built up ice. The air con struggled whilst we were there - the staff just said don’t worry it cools down here at night. It was only in high 20’s during our stay, it would be a major issue in this room with temps in the 30’s. Onsite Bbq was handy - we managed to cook up some nice steak - but we found there was not much gas left in bottles. We went to order the cooked breakfast as per their in room guide book. It stated order before 6.30pm. We went to reception at 6pm and were told breakfast orders closed at 5pm so they would not take the order despite their guidebook being wrong/ not our fault. We had good stay here despite these issues. This motel is let down by management lack of attention to detail- it could be great with some more regular maintenance.

Room 11 was not renovated & we felt let down. The lounge was placed at the end of the queen bed & trying to watch TV seated on the lounge resulted in having to turn one's head to see the screen high up on a side wall. Very poor room design in this regard. The shower recess was very dirty: mold on tiles & the drain needed a good dose of bleach. The towels we were given were tatty and worn - should have been disposed of years ago ! The outdoor area could have been cleaned from cobwebs and dirt . The outdoor tiles could have been cleaned as well. The figs all over the driveway were hazardous & this area should be swept on a regular basis. Likewise, the gazebo was unkempt and didn't entice one to sit there & relax. The front verge badly needed mowing and the community newspapers that were littering this area needed to be disposed of. This motel is in a beautiful position - within walking distance to the beach - but it appears that little is done to enhance the property and ensure that guests are appreciated and made to feel welcome. If the owners paid a little more attention to detail this place could be a winner. Would not return but hopefully the owners will take these suggestions on board and give the place the due care it deserves, along with their patrons.

Lovely building in a great location 2 blocks back from beautiful Busselton Beach. 10/15 min walk to the Jetty & beachfront bars & restaurants, but after dark in March was dimly lit walk back & very very quiet. Staff were helpful. Was extremely clean & well maintained, comfy beds. Could hear noise from outside if there was any, but a really great option & great value for money.
