Vickie, Michael, Nathan and Nam, business owners and managers of Orbost Motel, last week announced the motel has been recognised as a 2021 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best award winner for Australia in the ‘Small’ category.
This result comes after being ranked in the top one per cent of hotels worldwide. 
Throughout a challenging year, Orbost Motel stood out to travelers and provided an amazing experience despite unprecedented circumstances. 
Based on a full year of Tripadvisor reviews, award winners represent guest’s ultimate favorites around the globe.
“Congratulations to all the winners of the 2021 Travelers’ Choice Awards,” Kanika Soni, chief commercial officer at Tripadvisor, said.
“I know the past year has been extremely challenging for tourism businesses. What has impressed me is how businesses adapted to these challenges, implementing new cleanliness measures, adding social distancing guidelines, and utilising technology to prioritise guest safety.
The Travelers’ Choice Awards highlight the places that delighted guests more than any others in the past year even as they navigated changing customer expectations and new ways of working.
Based on a full year of reviews from customers who visited, this award speaks to the exemplary service and experience you provided guests in the midst of a pandemic.”
