Fig Tree Motel

Clean and comfortable beds were the only positive. The bathroom needs repairs. The shower leaked and the bathroom roof was disgusting. The shower was mouldy and rusty, the curtains old and hanging off. The whole room needs a return and repaint and upgrade. The pictures fit the room I booked and the room we actually stayed in did not match. Disappointed with the condition of our room and our stay.

A very nice place to stay i give it a 9 out of ten Lovely people who run it good meals as well

I stayed at the Fig Tree motel a few years back on one of my motorbike trips. It was on a hot day, as on this visit. Then, as this time, the pool was also closed for "Maintenance". Probably just a coincidence. Other than that, I recall a comfortable stay, although I tend to be not overly fussy about accommodation when on the 'bike. This trip my partner and I were on a road trip in the car. It's weird, but accommodation expectations rise when travelling by car. We'd booked ahead, so check in was quick and easy. The room had digital security locks that worked well. The bed, at least, was clean and comfortable. We tried connecting to the wifi but got "No permission to access" on our phones and tablet. Not a big deal. We switched to mobile data. The air conditioner was an older in wall type and quite noisy by our standards, but OK, it did work. There was no kitchenette, although basics for tea & instant coffee and electric jug were available. We had some difficulty filling the jug with water, which could only be accomplished by transferring one cup of water at a time using the tap from the bathroom's small basin, into the jug. I.E. the jug could not be placed directly under the tap. After a good feed at the Ex-Servo's Club we got back to the room and tried to stream a movie. It went ok for awhile but about 20 minutes started severely buffering. Back to our phones and Chromecast. Then I went to the bathroom. I looked up, which perhaps I shouldn't have. Above the shower recess the trap from the toilet in the unit above was exposed. The ceiling had an interesting texture, probably from attempts to patch past water or sewerage damage. The real worry however was the trap pipe, which had some very suspicious brown stuff on it See Photo. I mentioned it to my partner. She looked, made some weird noises, muttering something like "we have to leave now". Showering, despite the very hot day, had become "not an option". After that we had difficulty sleeping, visions of brownish excrement hanging off the ceiling clouding our thinking. At four in the morning we decided to leave. I wrote an email to the motel's management pointing out our discomfort, suggesting a bit of compensation would be desirable. We had reached the Hay Plain when the manager called. She insisted "it is only a stain". I gave my opinion; stain or not, the vision of it above the shower wasn't a good look. To say the least. The conversation quickly took a nose dive, so it was ended. There has been no compensation. I can't recommend this place, but your mileage may vary.

A great stay with lovely, accommodating staff!

great service good food

This placevia fine if looking for somewhere to simply rest your head. Facilities and bathroom was very dated. Pool not suiyablw for swimming in, wifi didnt work nor is there foxtel as advertised on their signs.
