We turned up with no advance booking, but the manager was a very pleasant chap & got us fixed up no bother. Maybe we were just unlucky, but our room was one that obviously hadn't been renovated. However, the bed was clean & comfortable, so it was ok for the one night. Would we use this motel again ? -... More

Thankyou for taking the time to submit a review! I don't think you were unlucky as we only have one room that purposefully hasn't had it's facilities upgraded recently. We do brand that as a Budget Twin room for guests who would like an option that is less expensive than the standard Double rate of $89 and advertise it as... More

We lucked upon this hotel and we loved it. From the outside it's a work in progress with painting and renovations happening. The inside is lovely. We had a 2 room family room. Full kitchen and bathroom. Lots of space. Spotlessly clean and heavenly beds. The hosts were welcoming and very friendly. Would have loved to have stayed longer. We... More

4 of us stayed here for 1 night while traveling from Gold Coast to Sydney. We thought we booked a room in the motel, but we got the entire beach house instead. We were really overwhelmed by it because it had like 5 bedrooms, 2 toilets, a kitchen, living room, dinning room and a 2-door garage. There was even a... More

It's difficult to pigeonhole this motel in a review. At the negative end the exterior appearance, driveway, etc ably illustrates that this place has been here for a long time. The room itself was more impressive - some clever and thoughtful renovation and the efforts to provide a quality mini bar/snacks was appreciated. The tiled floor could have been cleaner... More

Stayed here on our way to Byron Bay, great comfortable rooms, had all we needed for our stop over, would go back again. A little difficult to find entry, missed the turn off, but no drama. The key pad entry to the rooms a great asset too! Rooms were clean and beds were nice and comfortable

Compact, clean and tidy motel. Floorboards clearly transmit noise, we arrived at 11pm as a family for just the night stay on our journey north, was completely shocked to get a knock on the door at 6.30 am from the manager telling us to stop our children from moving about in the room as it was noisy for others. Having... More

Not to put too fine a point on things, but I have been managing this motel for approximately fifteen years. I have had an Overnighter class room right next to my bedroom for all of that time and it has been occupied by small families with children. I have NEVER been witness to the kind of noise that was coming... More

We had a funeral to attend and needed to book somewhere on short notice. The manager's telephone manner was lovely and he was very helpful. We got in a little late and after checking in, went to park the car. We had a few dramas finding a car park relatively close to the room. I'm not one to leave no... More

We stayed in the motel for one night. There was a single bunk and queen bed in our room. The mini bar was well stocked, and has a good sized fridge. The bathroom was modern and clean.

Stayed for one night on our way up the cost. Easy to find, friendly staff and a well equipped and cheap motel room made Koala Tree perfect for our one night stay. The rooms were modern and clean and the mini bar was very reasonably priced.
