- Great communication, easy to locate, close to food options, comfortable bed
- Overnight stay on our way home, terrific accommodation, comfortable bed, very clean room, easy parking, short stroll to the shops and eateries - will stay here again
- Vacancy
Cons -
- all good
- Very run down. No room service. Garbage not collected. Towels not changed. Needed a paint job. Very old.
- There is no sink for washing up breakfast dishes. We won't wash cups and plates in the hand basin where you clean your teeth. Five of the six motels we stayed at had no such sink. Most provided tea towels and dishwashing liquid.

Wonderful clean comfortable spacious room. The RSL Club (only two doors down) has a fantastic restaurant. The outstanding quality of the room belies the unimpressive outside appearance.
Would prefer a separate shampoo and shower soap dispenser.
This place is a little gem for those using the pacific highway, as it’s only a short drive away. The motel is quiet, small but cosy and spotlessly clean and has everything you could need. The owners/staff were outstanding too. Communication was excellent. I would definitely stay again
The property doesn't look too flash from the road, but don't be fooled it’s lovely
Clean and comfortable
Manager pleasant but had little to offer about the community
Convenient, impeccably maintained, clean, bright decor.
All good
Low cost, clean and functional.
Dated fitout but unimportant for a short stop over.
Comfortable, clean , helpful staff5mim walk to club for dinner
Location, comfy bed, dated but very clean
Had to be Poirot to find the bed reading lights hidden behind the massive bed head. Needs a small sign/sticker to point to them ?
Location just off the highway. Easy to access, clean and comfortable. Motel is fine. Karuah is a lovely town to stop off on the way through.
Middle of town
Have to park up against a fence difficult for disabled
The location. Nothing else.
The bed lights didn't work and the outside lights didn't either. The language from the next door house. Overpriced.
Convenient for the reason that we wanted to sray close to Newcastle
Shower fiftings were lose/broken
It was quiet and comfortable
No shower screen there was water everywhere and I nearly slipped so it was very slippery
Location was close to the club, cafe and swimming pool. Urunga not far away. Was a good stop over before next leg of trip.
A washing line attached to house would have been handy or a good sized clothes horse to hang washing on verandah and out of rain.
Beautiful quiet place.. very peaceful & not far from where we like to normally stay - at Tea Gardens & Hawks Nest
It was quiet, easy to get to and Damien was AMAZING!!!
When people slammed their doors it made our door open and the slammed doors echoed through the building.
Great rooms very clean
Was relaxed in a great spot
