Abode Murrumbateman

This is a fairly new motel that is well maintained, very clean and very comfortable. It is remarkably soundproof. Unlike older style motels, Abode has a large shared kitchen with multiple cooktops, ovens and microwaves as well as a good selection of cooking implements. You can choose to eat in the communal diner or take your meal back to your room (although it will be eaten on your knee as there is no table or bench in the room to rest it). If you don't want to cook the pub is a short walk away for a good, but not too expensive, meal. We stayed two nights and spent a day wandering around the wineries that were very good - the Canberra wine region was another discovery. This was our first stay and won't be our last.

This was a last minute overnight stop on my way home and I was greeted by one of the most friendly and courteous staff I have ever experienced! I had stayed a Abode before (different location) so I knew what to expect but this was extra nice. All the mod cons required and the room had a comfy bed and big bathroom. I was travelling with my dog which was no problem at all. The room had it's own access to outdoors which was needed. The generous voucher for a meal from their 'pantry' was a lovely bonus and the meal was delicious. No microwave (there was a kettle and toaster though) in the room but the modern community kitchen located right off reception was easy to access and very well appointed with all the requirements.

This is our go-to hotel whenever we're visiting family in Canberra or traveling between Melbourne and Sydney. It's the perfect place to stay with my dog as well. The communication with staff is excellent, and the booking process is always seamless. A major bonus is the café across the road with their amazing fresh pastries—definitely one of the reasons we keep coming back. Highly recommend!

Check in process was easy even though I arrived after reception had closed. Easy to find the room, and it was clean and well appointed. Group Kitchen was also really useful to reheat my keto meal that I had brought with me.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the facilities were excellent and pet friendly. We liked the shared kitchen/ meals area, which is a great idea. It was fantastic to be able to stay in such a beautiful place with our puppy as some other places that we stayed along our travels were motels only due to travelling with a pet. We were very impressed with the Abode Murrumbateman. 😀 The pub, which was walking distance, had great food too.
