Karuah is conveniently just off the Princes Highway so it's a good stopover but it's also quiet, and it's not a bad base to explore the Port Stephens area. The room was spacious and comfortable with a lounge, small table and chairs, work bench, fridge, toaster, plunger coffee. Internet is available wifi or cable, but there was a problem with... More

We stayed overnight en route from Sydney to the Gold Coast and were pleased to find the motel just as good as other tripadvisor reviewers had said. It was very clean and surprisingly well equipped, given how reasonably priced it was, with microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge and so on. The beds were comfortable, with good quality bedlinen, and the (small)... More

We have stayed at the Karuah Motel on numerous occasions on our way to and back from Queensland. It is a beautiful motel spotlessly clean and with many extras included. The cooked breakfast is great value. We would highly recommend this motel and a bonus is that Karuah is a lovely quite little town with good fish and chip shop... More

We arrived at Karuah Motor Inn on the day that temperatures hit 47C in Sydney....it was still 44 in Karuah. The owners had the thoughtfulness to turn the air conditioning on 2 hours prior to our arrival. This small act had a big impact on our comfort....thank you!! The rooms are small but for an overnight stay large enough to... More
