Love Australian wildlife? You probably know Platypuses are mainly active at night, so for most of the year the best times to see them are at dawn or dusk. But did you also know you're more likely to spot Platypuses in winter and early spring as they're more active during the day - the colder weather means they need more food, so they spend more time finding it? This is handy for us humans who are hoping to see one! Stay with Budget Motels as we cover almost their entire area of habitation!

Updated Rooms which was spotless ,Bed very comfortable and the place is very Quiet . I will be staying there again for sure. Best Budget Motel I have experienced over many years.
City Park Motel & Apartments – Wagga Wagga, NSW

Was glad to stay in a motel with assess to fresh air right outside your door. When we are currently asked to stay at home its nice to be able to open the front door and let the fresh air in. The room itself has everything you need. Comfy bed, tea and coffee plus a microwave. Guest laundry to do my washing and a great big park across the road to go for a walk to get some exercise. The staff are friendly and are very helpful. Highly recommend.
Wintersun Motel – Victor Harbor, SA

The motel is older but it is kept very clean. The beds were made up each morning. It was very reasonably priced as we were in the area to enjoy the location, and it was very central. We walked into Victor Harbor for our meals or drove to the nearby beachside towns. Very pretty beachside areas. A great weekend in the area.
The Marquis Hotel Motel – Hobart, Tas

Room was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Great location. Within walking distance of Hobart CBD. Evening meal conveniently available on site. Bed was very comfortable and bed linen was immaculate. Good sized bar fridge and small table and chairs in room. Ensuite bathroom was clean and shower very good.
Tea House Motor Inn – Bendigo, Vic

A little gem in Bendigo. Friendliest of staff - both permanent AND relief staff. This matters. Rooms are neat and clean, with pristine and safe grounds for kid play (pool, basketball, scooters). A wonderful location for the children with the fantastic playground over the road, and the lakeside walk for the adults. Modern rooms equipped with everything we needed. We will be returning.
Citywalk Motor Inn – Rockhampton, Qld

The room was really good. Bed was super comfy after being in the car for about 8 hours. Staff/owner were super friendly at check in as well. Pillows were so soft and fluffy. The little extras in the room with coffee and biscuits was a nice touch as well.
Moama Central Motel – Moama, NSW

Beautifully renovated, super comfy lounge and bed, large screen TV, plenty of room to move around, great location to tourist attractions. Easy walking distance to Bowling Club. Owners very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend staying here.
Travelway Motel – Port Pirie, SA

We did a last-minute trip & stayed here overnight. The staff were fantastic from check-in until check out. The room was basic but everything we needed & most importantly clean & comfortable! Shower was hot which was great. It is located in a quiet area. We had breakfast in their restaurant & it was amazing. We will definitely stay here again when this way next.
Burnie Ocean View Motel – Burnie, Tas

I’ve stayed in the cabins many times and my stays just keep getting better. The current owners have updated the cabins with new mattresses, blinds etc. The cleanliness is top notch and it’s a lovely quiet place to stay. I’ve also had the pleasure of staying in one of the apartments and was very impressed. Thanks to the proprietors for the friendly welcome and great care.
