The room itself was standard for a motel room - comfy bed, Aircon, small bar fridge, kettle, tea/coffee, good size shower, and a good size desk to work from. Internet access was also good, and they do have WiFi available.
Only downside most people would see is that there isn't much in walking distance, so you'll need to drive. The main centre of Cessnock is 5mins up the road, with supermarkets and restaurants around. Pokolbin is about 11kms up the road, an easy drive, where you'll find all the wineries - sone of which have restaurants also.
If I was coming back to the Hunter Valley again in the future, I'd definitely stay here again.
Rooms immaculately clean and well presented. We enjoyed the common room facilities to eat our breakfast, lunch & dinner with our friends. Being able to BBQ our steak was terrific. Many thanks for the secure parking of our motorbike.
Before our weekend away, we rang the proprietor, requesting access to our room for an hour to change for the wedding, we would then travel to the winery for the wedding, not returning till late evening. We arrived at the motel reception at 12.00 and was told we could not be booked in before 2.00pm unless we paid a early book in fee of $10.00 for every hour before 2pm
A female person appeared on the scene and was advised of our situation to which she replied " I don't care " we were denied a refund of our deposit of $52.50
We booked in to the Cessnock Motel a short distance away with out any problem and received excellent customer service and good Aussie hospitality
First room we got put in smelt really bad (sort of like BO and some sort of musty cupboard smell), but we got moved as soon as we asked.
We ended up getting a bigger room which was better - no smell at all!
The place is very much like a hostel, and very basic. But it did the job. Sheets, etc were clean.
Motel rooms are huge, with big windows and a comfy - but unfortunately- old bathroom. If you need just a place to rest, have a hot shower and save some money, this will be the place!
The motel is clean and quiet. The owners were friendly.
The amenities in the room are VERY basic - it's more like a hostel than a motel. They provide towels and 2 small bars of soap but no other toiletries, not even a box tissues.
Tea, coffee, sugar, milk, kettle and small fridge are all in room. There was no iron/ironing board in the room which was an inconvenience as we needed to iron our clothes for a wedding.
The aircon in the room was efficient and there are relatively new flatscreen TVs with free-to-air channels.
The room we were in had a huge east facing window and the curtains did not keep out any light. I woke up very early in a very bright room.
The motel's website claims it is a bed and breakfast motel - it is not. They do serve breakfast but we were told the cost would be on top of the room rate. We ended up driving into town to eat.
It's a clean motel and is fine if you're looking for somewhere to put your head down, but if you're after more amenities shell out a few extra $$$ and stay at a vineyard or a true B&B.
I'd suggest the following to the owners:
1. Provide small bottles of shampoo/conditioner/body wash etc and a box of tissues
2. Heavier blinds/curtains to keep out light and allow a sleep in.
3. Provide an information folder in the room with a map, restaurant suggestions, wine tours etc.
4. Iron/ironing board in room (or made available to guests if required)
5. Make it clear when booking that whether or not breakfast is included in the room rate.
