Budget on the lake is like my second home in Hamilton. This is my third stay here and since my first one, I did not have to look elsewhere as this is exactly what I needed whilst completing my lab classes at the Hamilton hospital. The unit is self contained with all the essentials that I needed. It is clean, welcoming and conveniently located. Set right opposite the lake was also a bonus as I could enjoy a walk/run in the afternoon around this beautiful treasure after a long day. A big Thank you to Tam who has always been very accommodating and ensured that all my needs are met. Highly recommend!

This hotel is located about 10-15 minutes walk to town. I had a twin share room, which was great cause it had 2 rooms in it. Which will be great for family. I'll be coming back to stay when I'm in Hamilton.

Room was more than I expected checked in early due to the dreadful weather on Cup day no issue with early check in the Owners are professional and Friendly and have the place in hand. 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.

Absolutely fantastic place, owners couldnt do enough, so very nice location, rooms older but clean and beds very comfortable, all tea, coffee etc supplied, room had iron, kettle etc and hair-dryer everything you need to make your stay comfortable Off the main road but that made it very quiet...economically priced, and delicious choice of cooked breakfast brought to your door... recommend this motel for anyone wanting to visit beautiful Hamilton...we loved our stay thanks to Tam (owner)and everyone

Fantastic stay staff were so friendly, Rooms are very clean. I loved the location aswell. I walked out of my room and i could wander around the beautiful lake (walking track is well worth the time)
