We travelled to Cessnock to check out wedding venues for our daughter. It is approximately 9kms from the vineyards. We had room 12 (located at back). Unlike other reviews, we didn't find the motel noisy from street traffic at all. We indulged in their clean pool due to the weather being 40 degrees that day. I found the room extremely clean and tidy. The bathroom was immaculate. Showerhead could be better, but it did it's job. I had to adjust the fridge as it didn't seem cold enough. I would say all rooms have been updated within the last 2-3 years. It was fresh, clean and modern. The outside is also clean and tidy. It's location to Cessnock is excellent with takeaways and restaurants in close proximity (walking distance). I cannot comment on the staff as I wasn't involved in the checking in/checking out process. I did receive a call from them the day before our arrival to confirm our check in time. He seemed pleasant enough when speaking with him. I would totally recommend this motel for short stays.

Located on a very busy and noisy main road, with building works currently being carried out at the side/back of the motel, this is not the place for you if you are noise sensitive. It is clean and comfortable but I have no idea where its 4 stars came from when compared to other 4 star establishments in the area. It is set in a U shape around a concrete carpark with nowhere but the room to sit. I guess when paying $120, you get what you pay for.

Rooms are very clean and they provided a fantastic customer service. We spent 2 nights here to cover some vine testing. very convinent location to restaurants and pubs and we highly recommend this place.
