Sunrise Motel

21/10/2026

If golf is on your holiday to-do list, put Barooga at the top.

We're lucky to have some fantastic golf right on our doorstep, with Cobram Barooga Golf Club offering 36 holes across two championship courses. Add Tocumwal, Yarrawonga, Corowa and more, and you've got plenty of fairways to explore.

But where you stay matters just as much as where you play.

At Sunrise Motel, you'll find the things that make a golf getaway easy:
🏌️ Room to spread out – spacious rooms that are ideal for golfers travelling together.
🍻 A place to unwind – our central communal BBQ area is perfect for sharing a meal, swapping stories and debating who really had the best round.
🌿 Peace and quiet – a relaxed setting to recharge before another day on the course.
👥 Bring the whole crew – travelling with a group? With just nine rooms, you may even be able to book the entire motel for your group.

Our guests regularly praise our rooms, value and friendly service, and that's exactly what we want your golf trip to be about: good golf, good company and a comfortable place to come back to.

📍 Stay at Sunrise. Play the Murray. Repeat.

✨ Remember that sad old wall we had big plans for? LOOK AT IT NOW! 🎨

Between babies, burst pipes and the usual motel chaos, this little project took us slightly longer than expected 😂 But we got there!

A huge thank you to Berrigan Shire Council for the Small Business Grant that helped make this happen, and to everyone who helped bring the vision to life.

What was once a tired old roadside wall is now something we can be proud of, next step will be adding a splash of colour to welcome visitors to Barooga.

🎥 Watch the before and after, we reckon the transformation was worth the wait!

ONE YEAR IN BAROOGA! 🥳🌅 Well, what can we say… that went quickly....
One year, plenty of guests, countless coffees, a few new grey hairs - and one massive thank you to everyone who has stayed with us, left a review, recommended us to friends, stopped for a chat or simply wished us well. ❤️

When we arrived, we knew we were moving to Barooga to run a motel.
What we didn't quite expect was how much we'd come to love the place.

Over the past year we've discovered some pretty special spots, met some wonderful people and learnt a lot about what makes Barooga and the wider Murray region tick.

Golf. The Murray. Walking and cycling. Fishing. Events. Markets. Family adventures. And plenty of reasons to stay another night.

And we're still discovering more.

To mark our first year, we've put together the first edition of the Sunrise Journal — a little story about our move to Barooga, what our first year has been like, what our guests have taught us, and why we think Barooga is worth staying a little longer for.

So grab a coffee, have a read and see what we've discovered over the past year. ☕️
