WELCOME TO SPORTSMANS MOTOR INN
We are directly opposite Barooga Sports Club and Cobram Barooga Golf Club, and it is only a short walk to the Mighty Murray, Barooga Hotel and town amenities.
We have been putting people up in Barooga for a long time, most of them here for the golf, the river, or a few quiet nights away. We also welcome corporate clients, trades and everyone else in between. The first tee is fifty metres from the front door.
Melbourne is about three hours away. Sydney is about seven. Cobram is five minutes over the bridge.
More Than Just a Place to Stay
Thirty five rooms and apartments are spread across two hectares. Most motels this size are a car park with rooms around the edge. We have palm gardens, a lawn big enough for the kids to run on, a pool, a separate wading pool, two covered barbecue areas and a shaded rainforest garden in the middle with three Balinese huts in it.
Three Balinese huts sit in the rainforest garden at the centre of the property. People use them for a coffee before the others are up, a beer after eighteen holes, occasionally for a wedding, or simply as a place to cool down in the summer.
Something for Every Stay
We offer golf packages which can include local courses such as Cobram Barooga, Tocumwal, Yarrawonga Mulwala and Black Bull. Our property is also a great place for families to come together and catch up, contractors needing a place away from home, or anyone looking for a weekend getaway to sit by the pool.

Your Hosts
Jodie and Adam Newman run the place, and one of them is almost always here. Rooms are serviced daily, reception is staffed seven days, and if something is not right we will fix it that day rather than tell you to send an email.

Our lowest rate is on this page. We do not undercut it anywhere else, and if you find a lower public rate for the same room and the same dates, tell us and we will match it.
No booking fees. What you see is what you pay.

Flexible arrival. Running late off the course or off the highway? Call us. We will leave a key out. That conversation does not happen through a booking site.
Talk to the people who will actually be here. The number on this page rings the front desk, not a call centre in another state.
