Detailed Reviews
Motel was only about 10 mins drive from Bathurst shopping centre, Motel is on large grounds with a view overlooking the farming land on other side of hwy. You can also see Mt Panorama. It has a play equipment for children The room we stayed in was renovated to a high quality. A continental breakfast is included in the room rate. There is a hotel at close by Kelso that has good meals also a service station is directly opposite the motel. The entrance to the motel is close to a roundabout and the driveway is shared by a tourist/caravan park. Might I suggest to the motel owner/manager that a sandwich board be placed beside the driveway indicating to take the right side of the driveway.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again if needing accommodation in Bathurst

The rooms are spacious so you have room to move around without hitting furniture, and the bathrooms are large with plenty of room in the shower. We would definitely stay there again. It is also easy to get in and out of the property onto the main road.

Our first time visiting. The room was just what we needed for two adults and our teenage son: beds were well made and comfortable, with convenient parking at the door. The breakfast was a bonus (included in the price), and there was a huge dining room to enjoy it in. Great value for the price. Our only concern was the cleanliness of the bathroom - the floor looked like it hadn’t been cleaned before we arrived, and the bin hadn’t been emptied. There was also shampoo dripping in the shower from the dispenser. We were able to jiggle it to stop it leaking but the shower was a bit slippery as a result.

Stayed here for 2 nights with my husband and 16 month old in room 1A. Nice big bathroom (obviously ideal for disabled) but excellent space. Beds were too hard for mine and hubby's comfort, I actually left there after staying 2 nights with a sore back. Room was clean-ish, didnt expect to have small bugs staying with us and the wet patch outside the fridge was a little concerning. Breakfast was pleasant as you get cereals, juice, coffe/tea, toast etc, your typical continental breakfast so dont expect bacon and eggs. Room could do with more info on the motel as we checked out early (5am) and there was no "early check outs" box to leave the key, so we just left in the room and shut the door. I did call and leave a message of what we had done. Overall decent stay for what its worth.

Thanks for your feedback Chrystal. It's difficult to get a bed that suits everyone, but most people report they are very comfortable. We don't control the wildlife, but we do supply insect spray to each room in case some get in which at times is unavoidable. We haven't seen a wet patch near the fridge, so maybe it was a spillage. There is a guest book in every room with all details about the motel and its operations. It would have been located on the bench in your room. We also have a slot in the door at reception that is marked "Return keys here", for early check outs, so you must have missed that. We are glad you enjoyed breakfast and your stay overall.

We booked last minute for a night stay - 2adults and 3 kids. Our room was neat and spacious, it looked recently renovated! Our room had a little balcony and we could see the Mount Panorama sign.
Beds were very comfortable and showers pressure and temp was spot on.
Management were friendly and have made the grounds lovely with lots of blooming flowers and gardens.
A simple kids playground and an in ground pool, plus plenty of open space for a game of cricket and for kids to have a run around.
It is situated on a main road but the rooms are quite far back that we did not hear the cars travelling past as all. It’s also not a very busy main road so definitely not at issue.
Continental breakfast with toast and cereal is included and is great for a light breakfast!

Hmmm… am I at the right place??This motel is in Kelso not Bathurst. We were upgraded to a larger room, 1A which was a disabled suite which had a queen and a single bed. Queen bed was very very firm and not at all comfortable. The only table and chairs were outside on the not so private balcony. Bathroom was ok but don’t think the floor had been washed. Towels were clean but off white so probably need replacing. TV was placed opposite the entrance door so had to sit on the bed and look left to watch it. The only lounge chair was a massive single recliner placed to the side of the balcony door. Parking is right outside your door which is handy but not so good when others arrive late and/or leave early. Continental Breakfast was a definite plus and added value to the nightly rate.

Comfortable, clean and quiet motel with spacious bathroom. Large balcony with nice view but unfortunately it is not private. A simple continental breakfast comes with the room rate which is served in a large room next to Reception. All was very pleasant and would definitely stay again.

We stayed here only for one night but thoroughly enjoyed our time. The staff was very friendly and even though they were fully booked the noise level was minimal. Just on the outskirts but close to take away. Breakfast was also included and the variety of cereals and bread for toast was great. We highly recommend and would not hesitate to return.

I needed to check in late and leave really early, and I also needed somewhere to leave my car for 3 days while I went to Brisbane. These requests were no trouble at all and I felt like I wasn't being an inconvenience to anyone, I was also given plenty of options for my breakfast which was delivered to my room just after check in so I would have something to eat before my trip. Highly recommend and will definitely stay there again

Rooms appear to be recently renovated like the bathroom as there is plenty of space in there. They are very clean and have a little luxury feel to the room at quality pricing with free breakfast provided. Like the balcony idea!
Would love to see hot cooked breakfast available bacon, eggs etc.

The one we stayed in had a separate main bedroom with a queen bed.
The other room had 3 single beds all with trundles. No lounges to sit on just chairs. But really couldn't complain. As all beds and bedding were brand new and the room was freshly painted and newly appointed bathrooms.
Great family accomodation
