Guest Reviews
- Don (4/5): - nothing. old and needs update motel is 8ks from town centre
- Greg (10/5): - Away from the highway and close enough from the town if you needed to go there
- Kathy (10/5): - My room was very spacious, the cleaning was of a high standard.Also they will allow dogs if travelling with pets. Which is great. Would recommend this hotel if wanting value for your money.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Extremely old and run down. Check in was not a pleasant experience. After waiting without being acknowledged owner finally asked my name and handed me a key just stating room number and nothing else. When leaving the following morning had to ring owner twice and leave message. He finally came to the door in pyjamas, this was just after 7am. I went in and paid.....no thank you for my honesty, etc.
Extremely hard to find after dark as signs outside do not work.
Power point where kettle and toaster were plugged in appeared to be faulty.
Mosquitos were plentiful in the room along with cans of insect spray.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly staff. Room was clean. The facilities are a little on the older side.
- Verified traveler (2/5): happy - Not good room not clean and the beds had bed bugs in them.
- Tracy (8/5): Serenity - Friendly, quiet and clean
Lovely location and pool. Perfect for a nights rest
- Verified traveler (2/5): Not good would not stay there ever again - Not good the beds has bed bugs
- William (8/5): Stayed 1 night travelling through. - Even though the booking stated 24 hour reception we arrived to find reception locked up and we had to call someone via a phone outside the door. After 3 attempts that went unanswered someone came out and we were given keys to the room. The room was quite roomy for a motel and facilities were more than we expected.
We would stay again if we were in the area.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - PRO's: Quiet location, good value for money, bed was comfortable
CON's: fan only worked on the highest speed, bathroom didn't have an exhaust fan so it was very hot, had to leave the door open, air con was old, needs upgrading
- Blake (8/5): Gem - Surprisingly comfortable and quiet. Beds clean and room tidy.
- Stephen (8/5): Short stay. Definately stay here next time! - Stopped in Grafton on the way to the Gold Coast. Arrived late at the hotel and owners had "gone to town". However they had left a note with the key which made checking in a breeze. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Great value for money. Next day left early so just needed to drop the key in a box. Overall very good experience and would highly recommend.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Room was clean and tidy despite being a little old. Arrived just after sunset and motel was hard to find in the dark. Signage was small and entrance is poorly lit
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Tv didn't work we had to gin around with it for half hour only to find airel plug had been pulled It had an over powering sweet smell to ithad to air the place out other than that is was quiet and clean
- Verified traveler (2/5): - The photos supplied to wotif are totally and i would say deliberately misleading. This property needs serious intervention from pest control.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - a well set out room with all the necessary amenities for an overnight stay- clean and close enough to town without the traffic noise of town
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very tidy. Only trouble was the tv didn't work.Very quiet.
- Traveler (4/5): - Room itself looked clean and well presented. However, aircon was too noisy to run while sleeping. Fan only ran on top speed so couldn't run that while sleeping. Had to turn the fridge off as it was making a horrible gurgling sound. Room was warm so didn't get much sleep. I reported it to the manager and he said he was working his way through the rooms replacing the aircons.
- Traveler (8/5): - This is our second stay now at this Motel and it was much better than the first time we stayed here. The only down-side was that the door to the bathroom wouldn't close shut so privacy was a bit of an issue.
- maureen (4/5): Very disappointing - We arrived and went to the office to book in. Door was locked 4pm and the phone to contact owners didn’t work. After wandering around the building we found that the office was now in a different place. We were then told that the room we had been allocated had just been given to someone else. We then had to wait for another room to be cleaned.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Affordable - Nice location reasonably priced new owners just finding feet and changing would stay again once changes complete
- Dylan (8/5): Standard motel, nice service - The usual standard, big rooms and decent bathroom. Owner is super friendly
- Diana (2/5): - Office was a filthy mess and dark. Was told they had wifi but it wouldnt reach our room!!!!! It isn't nice to see cockroach spray on the cabinet. Still has filthy shower curtains.
- paula (8/5): Motel was affordable and away from highway - We had a short stay but it had nice hot showers and very clean and cosy.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - A little too far out of town. Motel needs refurbishing. The owner was a very nice guy.
- Bruce (8/5): Placed just out of town very nice location - The hotel was comfortable and clean,
no complaints.Had a little bit of trouble with noisy neighbors,
although they were silent after 10.30.
So all in all would stay again.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Wouldn't stay again
- Verified traveler (6/5): Please at staff - We stay just one night, just traveling through town, did the job, very basic but ok
- Verified traveler (8/5): Overnight Stop - Had a quick overnight stop while heading south. It was OK for the one night. It is a bit out of town!
Has a '4 sale' sign outside so don't know what future holds!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Friendly service - Friendly service, clean modern room, cannot fault.
- truckie (8/5): Value overnighter - Great overnight stay, suited us with truck parking. Owner is always welcoming, value for money.
- Verified traveler (10/5): I was able to park my Trailer on site. - Good location. Short distance from town. Friendly staff.
- Peter (2/5): Very disappointing - poor maintanance, sink was cracked, mirrors was disgusting, needs new bed, the only good thing was the bed sheets, will never stay again.
- cecil (8/5): Country quiet and space - All the basic were covered adequately in the room. The quiet rural setting was ideal just to relax away from the busyness of town. Plenty of space for larger vehicles to park.
- Jem (10/5): Great little place for an over-nighter - Great service, lovely owners who can't do enough for their guests. Thoroughly recommend.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Clean, comfortable and great service. - Bruce went out of his way to make sure our stay was pleasant.
A little out of town which worked in our favour as we had ample parking for our trailer and felt a little more secure (parking wise).
Will be back.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good accommodation for short stay on route to Sydney
- P & G (8/5): Value for money - You get what you pay for . Value for money if travelling and only want a room for a night . More room than a cabin at caravan park
- Nell (8/5): Inexpensive, comfortable motel - Needed an inexpensive motel while travelling and this motel filled the bill.
- Dave (8/5): - Very pleasant stay, quiet and relaxing, but not far out from Pacific Highway.
- Alexander (8/5): Good for those on a budget - Reasonable stay. Fair price
- Sharon (8/5): - We were there for Jacaranda Festival. The location is not far from Grafton cbd and there are also Jacaranda trees on both sides on the way to the motel. Clean and tidy room. It is a very good value for the price.
- Kris (10/5): Countryside feel - Great stay in a countryside like setting. Lots of fresh air.
- David (8/5): A good experience at Grafton - We had to stay two nights and found it to be very comfortable. The motel is a bit out of Grafton but in a quiet area. We had a takeaway Chinese one night and Bruce happily supplied plates and cutlery. Also an opportunity was taken to wash the car on the grass with their hose. Well maintained motel. clean and comfortable.
- stan (10/5): Convenient location - Very nice genuine friendly service with comfortable clean rooms great value for money
- TJ (4/5): Oh dear - My bath towel had 6x 10c piece holes in it. The room smelt like cigarettes. The matresses smelt. There was cigarette ash in the shower. The tea cups were dirty. Daddy-long-leg spiders and cockroaches!
- Sar and Richard (10/5): If only all motels were like this! - Super quiet location, spotlessly clean spacious rooms, great beds and pillows, bathrooms do the trick, tea coffee etc and friendliest staff around. What more do you want? We stop here every easter for a night to break our journey in each direction.
- Pedro (8/5): Handy position, quiet. - Handy position out of town 10 mins,not flash but clean and reasonable price.

- Ann (6/5): Stopover - .Only booked 1-2 hours prior to arriving mid afternoon on a Sunday.Didn't appear that Management were ready for us. Room had a "stale" smell about it and wasn't particularly clean but the beds were beautifully made. It was a long way from facilities but we were prepared for that,had read previous reviews.Had to ask for a Microwave to heat our dinner. The Motel does need a little TLC but for price we paid it was quite adequate and provided somewhere for us to rest.
- Rich (10/5): - Super helpful and accommodating owners..we arrived very late (2am, 3.30am) on two occasions but key was left, as arranged, in the unit door for us and room was spotless, very comfortable, and shower was excellent! It';s a few kms out of town so it's nice and quiet.
