Motel and Motor Lodge Categories

There is a wide range of motel and motor lodge accommodations across Australia, catering for all levels of expectation and tariffs. Below we have summarised the major types that you will find around the country, and listed on the Jasons website:

  • Motels
    Motels in Australia offer a special self-catering accommodation experience. Almost all motels in Australia offer kitchen facilities in your unit or room, bedding, toilet and bathroom facilities and a welcoming on-site owner and/or manager.
  • Motor Lodges
    Motor Lodges are similar to hotels, although the range of facilities offered may vary considerably. The larger motor lodges often provide a restaurant on site, and many lodges may also provide kitchen facilities.
  • Apartments
    Apartments are self-contained units which are similar to motels but usually multi-storey. Apartments often have separate bedrooms, a bit more space and additional in-unit facilities such as laundry and full kitchen facilities.
