Cambridge has eight motels offering self-contained bedroom units within a few minutes' walk of the town centre.

All motels have a range of single and double units as well as family rooms for guests.

They are all within an easy walk of shops, cafes and restaurants, and have off-street parking.

Collectively, there are more than 100 beds available so motels can cope with special occasions such as weddings, family reunions and large events like regional and national sports tournaments.

You can easily compare rates and facilities online or by picking up brochures at the Cambridge i-SITE Information Centre, beside the Town Hall.

Prices generally range from $90 to $150, depending on the size of unit, number of guests and the time of year. Peak season is November-April and you can often find special deals in off-peak periods, while most offer discounts for group bookings, corporate rates or for long-term bookings.

Standard facilities usually include cable television, tea and coffee making and access to a laundry, while some have swimming pools and BBQ areas available for guests. Some also promote themselves as pet friendly.
