Top 10 Motels in Australia in 2023

Ten of the Best Australian Motels

Before diving into the top 10 motels in Australia let’s see what the difference between a motel vs hotel is. Whereas a hotel caters more for business people and exclusive holidaymakers, a motel is classified more of a family establishment. A motel is usually a no-frills accommodation.
A market research report shown that the motel industry in Australia shows little growth with the immense competition in accommodation from Airbnb’s, serviced apartments and hotels. The upside is that domestic and inbound tourism show that the Aussie travelling in their own country still prefers their motel stay.
The annual growth is still low at 2.75 , but when you are looking for affordable accommodation when on a road trip be sure to check out our listed motels.

Areas Where Motels Stand Out

You will find that a motel is usually situated around a parking lot with the doors facing the parking areas. It is a place of convenience and generally does not offer the frills and features of hotels while the rates are excellent as well. Generally, a motel will be a single and at most a two-level building. Motel locations also differ from a hotel as you will find a motel along popular tourist routes and close to highways and roads.
