Our Rooms & Suites

OUR HISTORY

The Pearce family built the motel in the mid 1970’s and continued to operate the business until recently and our new team are committed to continuing their legacy of committing to re-investing in the business with constant improvements and expansion to keep up with customer expectations needs and wants.

OUR LOCATION

Ultimately, our location invites you to slow down, breathe in the fresh country air, and enjoy the serenity of wide open spaces and bushland trails.

Explore Seymour’s rich heritage, with landmarks and museums shaped by its close ties to the Puckapunyal Army Base. Then take a short drive to explore the surrounding wine country, where fertile farmland produces some of Victoria’s finest wine grapes, available to sample at a number of inviting cellar doors.

At New Crossing Place, we’re more than just a place to sleep—we’re your base for discovering the beauty and charm of the Seymour region or just enjoying a great setting while you work.
