The reply from KRUSSI is quite accurate. Portage La Praire is the nearest town with decent accomodations. The hotels mentioned are decent. Portage is about 45 miles east of Austin. the highway between Austin and Portage is a 4 lane divided highway so travel is usually not an issue.
Brandon is a little further away and has a good selection of hotels to fit all budgets. As I live in the area I have no reason to search for Portage or Brandon hotels on the net but a google search should bring them up. Brandon is about 60 miles west of Austin and the highway is 4 lane as well.
Rural western Manitoba is not heavily populated and hotels in the small towns have a difficult time keeping the doors open. Particularly since drinking and driving laws got tougher. So there is no hotel in Austin and a small motel (motor hotel) in McGregor (about 15 miles east of Austin). I have never been in the McGregor motel so I can not give you any advise on it. Usually these small town motels are not that great. The McGregor motel is also fairly close to Number 1 Highway which has a fair volume of heavy truck traffic day and night which may bother you.
Portage and Brandon offer a better selection of restaurants and other services than do the small towns around the Manitoba Agricultural Museum.
I usually am in the grain elevator during the reunion so if you get a chance drop by and say hello.

The garden was already sprouting when we hooked up the mid-mount shovel cultivators to the Pony. The seed bed was soft enough that the rear end would spin and slowly work its way to the downhill side of the gardens slight incline. From this, we learned our lesson sinc
