The only reason I booked this motel was for the onsite restaurant, but it was closed as they can't find a chef. This information was not on its website or anywhere.

The property was convenient to town. However, the shower head and water pressure were terrible. The allocated parking spots were horrible and if you didn't park properly then you wouldn't fit (or you could be like the person who took my and their park so i didn't have anywhere to park). Being on the highway it was noisy but not unbearable. Not sure I'd book again.

It is good to see they now have microwaves in the room it would also be nice to see some cutlery and plates to utilise the toaster and microwave. Other than that, the rooms are clean and comfortable. I did not utilise the restaurant so I can't comment on that. The hot water could have been hotter, not sure how that is set up maybe I was at the end of the line.

The owner very unhelpful!!! We were supposed to stay on Sunday night, we were in Gunnedah on Saturday. Roads closed to Armidale due to snow; roads shut to Tamworth due to flooding; we physically could not get to Tenterfield. We left and headed to Moree before roads were shut to flooding. When we had to cancel the owner informed us, we were inside our 24-cancellation period and tough luck and kept our money!

This was a last minute stay at my go to halfway stop from Gold Coast to Tamworth. I jumped online an hour before arrival as I had planned to drive home in one hit but was physically exhausted from Tamworth Country Music Festival. The team checked me in quickly and offered help as I was clearly not feeling well. Even checkin on me this morning that I was ok to drive. HIGHLY recommend this hotel as the staff are always friendly and caring. Will keep coming back for all my long car trips to Tamworth via Tenterfield.
