Hotels Near Cranbourne Racecourse in Cranbourne

Our booking experience was professional and helpful. A new, young staff member was fantastic when we booked. Upon arrival we were greeted by two reception staff, one senior who was training another new staff member. The appearance was friendly, the senior staff member stating it was unusual that we had provided our PO Box address, proceeding to ask for a Drivers Licence while she recorded our residential address, without our approval. We were also asked to provide our debit card, despite the room cost being paud in full, in advance. We were informed that an additional $100 would be deducted from our account, despite explaining this would affect our travel budget. We were informed it is ”policy”. The senior staff member proceeded to say that we would get the funds returned about 3/4 days following our checkout and stated that she would get around to processing it the day after we checked out! When we requested a slightly later check out it was a hard ”No” from the senior reception staff member, who frankly had a personality not suited to friendly customer greeting guest services. The room however was lovely. Dinner staff in the function room were friendly and helpful.

We booked two rooms for four nights over Christmas (originally we had six people but one couldn't come due to a medical condition). One was 'pet friendly' and slept 3 , the other one a no-pet family room that slept 5. Both were pristine, comfy beds, lots of space and storage. Shower a little poky but that's pretty standard in a motel. The sliding door into the shower was dodgy in my room but in the other room it was OK - that was the only issue inside the rooms that I noticed. Total cost worked out to $155 per person between the six or just under $39 a night each which is super cheap for two rooms, especially in peak season. Other reviews state that the traffic as noisy, but not with the window closed and I'm from the country so I would notice! There IS air con. The pool was no Spanish caravan park pool (ie: big!) but it was bigger than normal (about 12 or 14m?) and rectangular (WHY do people build kidney-shaped pools??) so one could do laps, although I did have to do 120 to get my normal swim. Salt water. Spa was useless - cold and couldn't even feel the jets. Gate a bit hard to get into - have to reef the child-proof handle up pretty hard. The location is great - not only was it close to our relatives but also half and hour to Hastings, an hour to Portsea, and on boxing day we drove for just over an hour to another relative in a stunning part of south Gippsland. (I think I'll skip the Peninsula drive on a public holiday next time though ...) Good shopping isn't far away either with Dandenong (the markets there are great), Ikea Springvale, Chadstone and Moorabin DFO all within half an hour, Frankston five minutes and so is the Royal Botanic Gardens of Vic (definitely on my list for next time). My main complaints were about the rules outside: 1. There is no pet exercise area close to the motel rooms. The grassed spaces including the huge waste-of-space of a verge are supposedly NOT for exercising your pet, although the BBQ area is large and totally enclosed which would be ideal. There would even be room to fence off one half of it (pretty much a wasted space as it is with no seats or anything) so pets are away from the BBQ. If I was bringing my dog again I would definitely not stay here without a change to those rules. There is access to an off-leash park out the back of the entire park but it is a long way from the motel which is at the front, and way too far for a midnight or early-morning pajama-clad deposit. It is also too far for anyone (or pet!) with a certain type of disability - pretty ableist. I doubt my in-law's little dog could walk that far on a good day and my father in law certainly couldn't. 2. signs outside the rooms ask that people smoke at least 4m from the rooms, but the ashtrays are within 1m and of course that's where people congregate. Our neighbours smoked in the early morning and late at night and their (normal) voices carried right into the room (as did the smoke when hubby opened the door to ask them to keep q

Stopped here for two nights. Little off the beaten track if no car but location is good for access to freeways to city, east to Melb SE suburbs or south to the peninsular. Friendly staff, quiet and great bar (unfortuantely was closed for annual shut down this trip) but breakfast food was very good and clean friendly atmosphere. Will look again next time, next trip down under and in that direction.

Apartment was clean, spacious with great views over the water. Good position for some relaxing and scenic coastal walks. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The motel is close to shopping and some good restaurants. Having Dan Murphy's next door was an added convenience.

Excellent, well worth a visit. I was on the sixth floor and found the stay very quiet. Rooms are comfortable and clean. Coles, Woolworths and Aldi are just a short walk away. There is a restaurant downstairs that provides an excellent array of meals and drinks.

The location in the evening seems a bit sketchy, but the hotel itself clean, comfortable and safe. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast in the morning is better than most and easy on the wallet for the quality of food. 

Stayed in a room with a queen bed. The room was clean and tidy. Shower and toilet was good. Had everything that I needed for the night. The only thing that was missing from the room was the complementary tea, coffee, milk and a mug. But otherwise I can't complain.

Absolutely gorgeous, and lovely staff members! Super helpful, and friendly. Adored all interactions with the managers and especially the housekeeping crew! Everyone is so accommodating, helpful and lovely! Parking is quiet private, which I loved! The place was nice and peaceful, 24 hour surveillance made me feel safe to leave my mother in law there. The beds were amazingly comfortable, rooms & bathrooms were extremely clean and lovely! Thank you for the stay! Will recommend to everyone I know needing a room in this area!

Our family group of four adults stayed two nights in The Stables Cottage. The cottage was accurately described on the website and very comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped for home cooking, and electric blankets on the beds were welcome for one chilly night. We pre-ordered a Drinks and Nibbles platter which was more than ample, along with the bottle of bubbly included in our rate. Breakfast provisions were very satisfactory - bread, bacon, eggs, yoghurt, juice, milk and fruit. The cottage has a lovely front verandah overlooking a delightful quiet garden. The only minor drawback was bathroom plumbing was noisy in the front bedroom. Despite this, I would recommend The Stables at Clarendon Cottages.
