Good place to stay for a night to break up a long trip. Room is basic but comfortable. The rooms offer great views of the river. The the restaurant offers a great Chinese menu and the food was delicious with the added bonus of the river views.

Well. It served a purpose to break up a road trip however pretty ordinary set up. We had the family room… it’s old and dated. Bathroom light flickered constantly like a horror film so we couldn’t use at all and the bugs coming out from under the beds and other places were quickly eliminated by the complimentary bottle of Mortein. My daughter was awake all night wondering where the next creepy crawly would emerge from.
Look - the sheets and beds were at least clean and the TV worked so we got through. Don’t expect too much!!

Just a one night stay, very comfortable bed and the restaurant has fantastic food.

A very pleasant and affordable place to stay in Kempsey. Nicely positioned off the main road so no real traffic noise and beautiful views over the river out the back of the unit.
5.0
the rooms weren't provided with milk, and the check in process was terrible, as upon entering the reception, you are then directed to another area.

Set back from the main street so it's quiet.
Check in, quick and easy.
Restaurant on site, food is good.
Breakfast available and was excellent and at the time requested.
Parking is easy and your car is outside of your room.

Even though the property seems a little run down, the beds were the best bed we'd slept in including at a resort in the previous week. Totally worth the very competitive price. Would stay there again.

Stayed here for a family gathering, clean room larger then expected, lovely view over the river at rear of hotel. We have stayed at other places in Kempsey and we will definitely stay here again.

Bed was comfortable, shower was hot. The fridge was tiny... when you are working you like to have space in a fridge but this one was more like a small wine fridge. Still a nice place to spend a few days.

Fantastic Chinese meals, vegetables cooked to perfection chicken perfect, best fried rice we have ever had. Thank you.
4.0
I like the fact that it has an authentic Chinese restaurant on site no need to drive into town for a meal . It is starting to show its age but still clean and comfortable. Water pressure needs to be sorted out shower was hard to get right

We read the reviews of the motel and made our reservation with some concerns. On arriving, the manager could not have been more friendly. He checked us in quickly and provided us a small carton of milk for coffee and tea. The parking was directly in front of the room. The room was well organised and very clean. The AC worked perfectly and best of all: the views!!!! Beautiful river views and very peaceful and quiet. A very pleasant surprise!
Bottom line: it’s a motel. If you’re looking for a 5 star hotel, this isn’t it, but this motel is a very fine place to stay and relax. Highly recommended!

Very clean and peaceful location over looking the river. Away from traffic noise and quiet.

An okay accomodation for a quick stop while travelling from Brisbane to Sydney. Comfortable beds but property needs some love and care in terms of its appearance.

The air-conditioning needs to be serviced or replaced as it was very noisey which made it hard to sleep.
3.0
A bit overpriced for what it offers and what it doesn’t offer. No cutlery or crockery in the unit. I suspect they want you to buy meals from them. Plus NO MICROWAVE IN THE ROOM. I have NEVER come across this before in a lot of travels. Will look for an alternative when next through there.
5.0
Nice place to stay for an overnighter.
3.0
Disappointingly, one of the vertical blinds had fallen off, leaving to go through the window. I advised reception and requested a solution. On returning to my room later that evening, nothing has changed.
Also, no key box for nearly departure… So both on arrival and departure. I had to look at the hotel number and phone reception for service.

I asked for extra milk and was told that I would have to pay for it. Seriously???

the stay was fine, nice spacious room with all amenities.
We found the breakfast less good, the coffee was so strong that it was undrinkable. The poached eggs and bacon cold and the bacon not cooked properly

They wanted to charge $10/hour when we arrived earlier than check in although the room was ready
