Burwood Manor Motel

Burwood Manor Motel

10/10 Excellent
"We were a group of 13 (golfers) across 4 units which were all adjacent. Comms leading up to the stay were great and the staff were really helpful while we were there. This was the 2nd time staying at Burwood and we’d def look at staying again. Very Cost effective with great service as opposed 5 star facilities. The motel and units are tidy with signs of aging but nothing that impacted our stay or our overall rating."
