Blocked drains for 2 of 3 nights

Blocked drains for 2 of our 3 nights in the Family room. Only after the second attempt after 2 days was it fixed. We could only have 1 minute showers as we would be standing in a puddle of our shower water after a minute. It would then take 20 minutes to drain completely. There was also no housekeeping, no tissues and no forks (but there were knives and spoons)

The motel has been tastefully refurbished and the furniture was stylish. However, there were no plates or bowls in the room. Cutlery was limited to 2 teaspoons and 1 knife. Toaster didn’t work, but that wasn’t too bad, because the bread l bought at the IGA was 3 days past the “best before” date.

The Castle was a very handy find for a visit to Castlemaine. The room was very clean with a good bathroom and very good mattress. The people were friendly and helpful, and the motel is a short walk to the center of town. We were very happy with the room and think the Castle is very good value.

Clean, comfortable room, wifi that works well, friendly staff. We stayed in a family room and it was great. Can be a bit noisy on the highway but that wasn't a problem when we stayed over the weekend.
