    Pros +

    • Friendly, comfortable, free DVD's
    • The motel room was spacious, clean, and well decorated, with comfortable beds and excellent pillows. The location was excellent for us. The air conditioning system was quiet, and there were convenient amenities like a coffee fridge, a large TV, and a hairdryer. The Herbology Collection of products in the bathroom were of great quality.
    • It was the cheapest place to stay half way to Byron at the last minute

    Cons -

    • Bed was so sunken and constant smokers right outside the door. The town had nothing to offer.
    • The place was like a deserted town. No one else staying there. External yard areas untidy. Reception was dark and dingy. The price of $175 was a ripoff for what you got. I would never stay here again. In fact, it was so disappointing I did not even sleep there. I went back to Port Macquarie to find a decent hotel for the night.
    • Bed was a bit saggy.

    I chose this motel as I was just passing through and it was close to the highway but it wasn't noisy. The location was bushland and very quiet. There were no pubs or restaurants within walking distance. They do meals and delivered dinner to my room which was very convenient as I didn't have to get in the car and go out again. The room was large and the bed comfortable. There was a table and 2 chairs plus an armchair. The motel had large pool.

    A great location close to the highway, ideal for breaking up our trip north. Very clean.

    Bed was a bit saggy.

    7CathyPosted on: 4-18-2025

    Clean and comfortable for an overnight stay

    Arrived in the dark and very hard to see the Hotel from the main road. It is an older hotel but kept in good condition. Found it expensive for what it is.

    10PeterPosted on: 4-17-2025

    Clean and neat, comfortable beds and nice and quiet

    8TaiganPosted on: 4-14-2025

    Good easy location, good sized rooms comfy beds. Owner was friendly and welcoming, helped the kids pick a movie. Beautiful kookaburra outside the room in the morning, nice and peaceful location.

    Bit of mold in the aircon vent, nothing much else to complain about. Everything was good.

    Great location very friendly greeting..Out of all the accommodation we have stayed in Kempsey & we have tried them all Powerhouse is by far the best highly recommended..

    8DeborahPosted on: 3-4-2025

    Perfect for quick stay over on way to Gold Coast. Nothing fancy but comfortable and clean.

    Mosquitoes. But spray supplied in room.

    9CharmainePosted on: 2-26-2025

    The location was easy to find and easily accessible from the highway from both the north and south.The motel was quiet and very clean, with plenty of towels and quality toiletries available. Breakfast and dinner were both available and key collection after reception hours was easy to arrange.

    There were mozzies but a can of spray was provided to take care of this.

    Very uncomfortable

    Terrible bathroom. Hairs in sink and on bench . Pillow was like a brick.

    9KatherinePosted on: 2-24-2025

    It was easy to check in, location wise the hotel was just off the highway and easy to find. Parking was good, no stairs to climb. The bed was comfy and shower very nice. Most of all we enjoyed the spaciousness of the room - there was plenty of space for suitcases and luggage. Very suitable for a one-night stay when in transit.

    9CharmainePosted on: 2-24-2025

    Easy access from the highway, but cannot hear the traffic.Very clean, great shower, good pressure and lovely products provided for use. Easy communication with the proprietors and ability to arrive after reception hours and early departure. Breakfast and dinner available.

    There are mozzies but a can of stay for those pesky things was provided.

    4MariePosted on: 2-19-2025

    On the good side, the room was large and clean. But it was very old fashioned and far away from town. The pool was very dirty.

    5RobbiPosted on: 2-19-2025

    Not much

    Didn’t feel welcome and the lamb chops and steak Diane gravy was horrible over cooked in old oil.

    8SharonPosted on: 2-14-2025

    The location was quiet, rooms were large, clean and comfortable. Check-in was easy.

    Lots of mozzies in the room coming through gap in bathroom window.
