Ringtails Motel

Not the flashed place in Busselton but very nice little motel. Great location in town. Rooms nice and clean. Place need a bit of maintenance (front door kept opening unless you locked it. Door handle fell off husband screwed it back on and also would love to have had a toilet door. Overall would definately stay again. Very economical and city centre makes it a great little place.

We had an overnight stay and we were extremely happy with our decision to stay here. Rooms are basic, but are clean, spacious , and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Location is perfect for a short walk to restaurants and pubs in downtown Busselton. Service was friendly and helpful. We are already planning our next visit for a 2 night stay. Definitely recommend!

This is a hidden gem in Busselton. Very basic accommodation, budget friendly, clean and walking distance to everything. I stay in a lot of 5 star hotels and was surprised at how clean this place was. The showers were hot with great pressure, the bed was big and comfy, and the front reception were friendly. Prior to booking I emailed the motel and had some additional requests and information, they promptly replied and helped with ease. We even had a laugh when I arrived. This place is a quiet/quaint spot and will be back again. Thanks so much x

My daughter and two friends booked Ringtails for Leavers last year. We booked a "private room with an ensuite". What they actually received was a backpacker room in the "lodge" on the Ringtails property that had a shared bathroom. When we questioned Chris (the Manager), he was very dismissive and told us if they were not happy to go elsewhere. This was obviously not possible during Leavers as everything is booked out. It may seem a minor issue, but Chris was very arrogant and not in the least bit apologetic. I didn't leave a review at the time (and this is my first review on Trip advisor), but when I noticed this Management response to a review in Dec 2022, this also seems somewhat dishonest "We have no backpackers on the property, there is a house next door to the motel that is privately owned/ private property".

Not for light sleepers. The lovely old wooden floors are not so lovely when you can hear the neighbours walking around. Walls are not soundproofed, so we could hear both the TV and the conversations of our neighbours. To add to the noise issues, masses of white cockatoos nested in a nearby tree and made noise until almost midnight when something/someone scared them off. $174 seems like a lot to pay for this motel. We ended up leaving after only one night and losing $174 for our second booked night because we slept so poorly. The little complimentary milk carton dripped a bit on the floor and a wipe with a bit of wet toilet paper came back black. Finally, for the record, I did chat to Bella about these issues. Fortunately our next night was at the Novotel Perth, similar price but worlds apart with value for money.

Easy to find and we had a great experience with kind staff when checking in. The motel is older but retains the charm of beautiful detailed cornice ceilings and Jarrah floorboards. The room and bathroom were very clean (two clean freaks here) Excellent location for close proximity to town and the beach, dining experiences and shopping. The pool area looked nice and our room was right outside it. Sadly it was too cold to swim. I would return and would recommend for bang for your buck.

Excellent reception staff.room clean with all facilities.location very good.close to shops and short walk to beach.enjoyed it so much and tried to stay extra days but not possible.restaurants within easy reach.

I’ve stayed here before and given 5/5 reviews. The value and location is still the best. The rooms are spotless, beds are comfy, air con is cold and showers are hot. So why have I dropped my rating? I’m sitting on the porch listening to people party near the pool who are staying at the back in some sort of workers quarters. (2 story flats) I’ve got people in the room next to me coughing up after every cone, and then there’s people coming and going from what I believe is backpacker accom on the same property (but disguised as being next door.) lighting joints as they head for the pool area. I don’t mind what happens in workers camps, backpackers or motels, but let’s not confuse the 3 as every one has its own different set of standards and expectations. Still value for money but I’m not sure what this place wants to be. Certainly different from my last visits.

We had 3 nights here. Very good communication with motel before arriving. The room was spotlessly clean as was the bathroom and it had everything it promised. The bed was super comfy too. The location is excellent for walking around this lovely town and as well as the jetty, we would recommend the museum in the old butter factory, the old courthouse and walks along the waterfront-we had a bbq in one of the communal areas. Our only small gripe was that the room felt very dark -small window-and our neighbours smoked in their outside seating area which was off putting for us to sit outside or leave our door open as the rooms are close together.
