I have been an infrequent visitor to Branxton for close on fifty years, but this was the first time since The Hunter Expressway bypassed the village. An old facaded pub, a bakery, a bottle shop and a supermarket that are busy and on song with a new found bypassed feeling made this a memorable stop.The motel blends perfectly into the village. The rooms are clean, the staff friendly and helpful and the location is walking distance to the pub etc. Highly recommended if and when one has a desire to detour off the Expressway.
