A Goulburn night at Bakehouse Motel

NSW South Coast + Bright 2023

Sunday evening: First overnight stop, on this trip, at the Bakehouse Motel Goulburn. Breakfast the next morning at the adjoining Trappers Bakery Goulburn, and continued the drive past the Cullerin Range Wind Farm.

Charging

After checking with the manager, he suggested that we run a cord under the door of our room to the car. It’s weird and cool to be able to plug your car in next to your phone to charge. It worked a treat, without even needing an extension cord. But it would be better if motels had external power points for EVs. I expect that it was mostly powered by the extensive solar on the roof and the wind farm down the road.

  1. Great that they were cool with it, would expect most to be concerned that's a potential tripping hazard for others walking by. They need a mat or something to go over it if this is their answer. Hopefully they add dedicated charging soon enough.

  2. Looks like a nice hotel. The Best Western in Goulburn has multiple Tesla & MG chargers installed. Available to patrons of the restaurant too.

  3. Looks like a good spot
    I liked the pages for the motel and bakery, the latter providing gluten free options which is always nice to see for me 👍

  4. It would be so easy to install 15 amp power points on the pillars that support the awning.
