We had a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend this place to stay. The staff was super friendly and so were the deer! I didn’t expect that we would get to see and feed real live deer.

The room felt like a demountable, sheets of plywood tacked up on the walls, a square of plywood masquerading as a bed side table and not attached to wall. Air conditioning unit broken. Absolutely over priced for the offer.

I wish i knew that there was an indoor heated pool. I would have lived a swim after graduation celebrations. The host was nice, and let me into thevroom early to get ready for my graduation. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room.

It was lovely staying at the Deer Park Motor inn, their USP is deers, very well maintained and affordable. We and our daughter loved playing with deers and feeding them. Definitely if we are going to come again to Armidale it’s going to our stay.

We were disappointed about the overall condition of the property. We used to live in Armidale and remember this motel in excellent condition. The surrounds are unkept, the dinning was very limited- not what was advertised. The condition of the bathroom was very poor- mould, soap scum in the bath and broken hairdryer and bath surrounds. The bed was comfortable, the shower hot and when called to bring towels, as none had been left, the manager was prompt. Unfortunately we will not recommend this property nor will we be staying here again. We have a large family funeral in the next few weeks and will not recommend the Deer Park Motel.

The guy at reception was nice but our room was less than impressive. The toilet seat was filthy and hadn’t been cleaned. There was also a huge gap under the door that 2 cockroaches and a cricket crawled under. I had to chase them around. Man, crickets are fast, and they can fly! I ended up scrunching up the footer thing at the end of the bed and using it to block the gap. Definitely the kind of place where you wear thongs in the shower. To top it off, the smell of cigarette smoke and weed was coming through our door all night, from our neighbour in the next room, reaking havoc with my asthma. They offer a free breakfast, but my wife wasn’t interested in eating here. We were glad to get out of there.

I was so excited about staying at deer park, I had herd such fantastic things about it. We booked a king sized bed with a spa bath. Bed was very comfortable although we found someone elses hair in the bed. TV was nice and clean, internet was extremely slow and booted us out every 15mins and cromecast would not connect due to this reason, so was forced to watch free to air tv. Bathtub was huge, didn't work, was filthy, no shower curtain if you decided to have a shower. Tiles around the bottom of the bathroom were all cracked and broken, souround of the bathtub was black with mold. The room is obviously booked for 2 people although there was only 1 set of toiletries provided and 1 set of cuttlery. Unfortunately it was raining the whole time we were there so we didnt get to feed the deer (or even see them for that matter) and we didnt venture over to the heated pool so I cannot comment on that. All and all I was highly disappointed in the outdated, filthy, rude service provided at the deer park. 100% do not recommend I will not stay agin!

From stains on the carpet that were huge to wall power points that were not secured properly and pulled loose as removing chargers the property needs some updating. Every morning I was woken by alarms in the neighbouring rooms and of an evening you could hear your neighbours talking and yes I could hear what they were saying. Some proper sound insulation would be an improvement. From chipped architraves to holes in the bathroom walls let's just say this will be the last time I stay here unless improvments occure.

The units are very large which is nice, the water was hot and the water pressure was good, the bed was very comfy. We stayed in an accessible unit, which was fine even though we didn't need accessible facilities however, the handrail in the shower was very badly rusted and should be either painted or better still replaced. It was nice having a breakfast included but some tinned fruit to go with the yoghurt would have been nice. Overall we were happy with our stay
