A large and comfortable room, quite expensive for a country motel but not much choice in Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest and it does have a very nice spa bath. Easy drive to the river or beach. May be better to look further afield for dinner rather than walk to the Country Club next door.

On first arrival the room looked really clean, bright, tidy and spacious. The soft green wall and beach artwork was beautiful - perfect even. Going into the bathroom was more disappointing, as there was water damaged laminate under the sink cabinet, which housed the spa equipment, which means there was also no storage. The shower was absolutely brilliant!!! The only real complaint is about the cleansing products. They are cheap - the hand wash and body wash gel is actually rubbish and did not lather or wash the residue makeup off my hands. I washed my hands three times and it still didn't come off - good luck cleaning the white towels. If you improve a couple of these easy to fix issues, you would get an even higher rating. The accommodation is in a convenient spot. I did find $299 per night rather steep in price - it's not the Ramada.

This motel appears to have been an expensive spend when first constructed, but fixtures and fittings are now a little "long in the tooth" and in need of modernising. If you provide liquid soap etc. dispensers, at least ensure they are full when room is serviced. The washbasin soap dispenser was empty as was the shower gel - not very good particularly at the price point of the rooms. Several rooms being serviced with bedding disheveled and unoccupied were left in full view with open curtains; not a good look. We had a quiet and peaceful stay all the same.

Big room. Aspects of room "tired" and in need of repair (e.g., cracked / broken floor tiles in bathroom, taps in bathroom). Lacks sufficient power points (GPOs) which are supplemented by two cheap power boards. Pleasant outlook from rear of room. Nice quiet location.

Asked to swap rooms as the king bedroom with “garden view” was a bit misleading as the view was more like dirt view with a line of trees close by . Wife was also unimpressed with cleanliness. However they did redeem themselves by swapping us to a room with lawns view, that was also a lot cleaner. No smart tv though ! Just terrestrial channels. Overall would recommend but ask for queen room with lawn view

At first, we were quite confused to book the motel because of the location as it was one hour away from Nelson bay. However, once we arrived, we found it was worth it. Such a lovely staff and clean room. Plus, the country club is just behind the hotel so it was really convenient to go for a drink and dinner. Also, enjoying the karaoke.

I realise it is not the property's fault, but when I booked this room, I was told it was 5.6kms from Bateman's Bay where I wanted to stay the night. Turns out, it was 5.6kms by water, but an hour and 10 minutes' drive from Bateman's Bay. Rooms are well appointed but limited food options around hotel
