Centrally located motel in Kempsey 10/10

Reviewed By Mausy_Herb

From the phone call with Janelle when booking this accommodation (explaining exactly where the motel is located) I just knew it would be a great place to stay overnight and an excellent rate. Arrived around 5.30pm and checked into our room and were very happy and surprised that the aircon was on and our room was lovely and warm- just a little detail means a lot. Decided to have the takeaway Chinese and went to office there and the ladies helped us out with crockery and cutlery and a couple of wine glasses and we decided to have a drink with our dinner. Very clean and definitely recommend a stay here anytime - we will be back again Thanks again for your hospitality and warm and friendly staff. Regards H&M

We stayed for 4 nights in March 2022. The room was clean and kept clean and the staff were really friendly and willing to help with any enquiry we had which was much appreciated. Definately recoment a stay here. Had a game of squash on the court and used the BBQ daily. didnt swim in the pool which looked fine ,all be it a little small, but saw a young family enjoying it. Used the laundry facillities on the last day. overall it was very good for the price. It's a reasonable walk to town centre but we drove to most places. Have to try really hard to fault it, the fridge was a little noisy buts thats about it.

We were booked on an unpowered camp site which was situated near the lagoon and had a week of rain so our campsite had gone underwater and the mozzies were rife!!!. Staff were able to move us to a dryer campsite (powered and turfed) and did not charge us any additional cost. They were friendly and helpful throughout the process. The rain didnt stop the kids having a ball in the play areas and kidsclub. The park is a family favourite and the beaches of SWR are beautiful.

Reviewed By grannygoanna

Checkin was easy. The room was large with an extra bedroom and was clean. However the place is very dated, smelled a bit musty, and has quite a few permanant residents. Bathroom was clean but very small. It's not anything like the photos on the website, but it was ok for our one night stay, but wouldn't stay here again.

Basic older style rooms but clean with everything you need for an overnight stay. Spend the few extra dollars and get the balcony room. Meal at the hotel was just ok. Very limited choices on the menu. Excellent location right in town. Good value.

Reviewed By Steve D

Booked by phone from Dorrigo. Last minute decision to travel further to Crescent Head rather than stay the night in Dorrigo. Person I spoke to on phone was very helpful in finding a way for me to use staynsw voucher. Room was large, well equipped and very quiet. Not a lot of options for accommodation in Crescent Head, but I thoroughly recommend Crescent Head Resort & Conference Centre
