What guests think

At Abel Tasman Motor Inn, guests frequently praise clean, comfortable rooms and a convenient location near Western Plains Zoo, shops, and dining at Club Dubbo across the road, with many also highlighting welcoming, friendly staff and easy on-site parking.

Many found rooms spacious and surprisingly quiet for a highway location, though a few noted a firm mattress, early-morning housekeeping noise, or slight road noise. Minor issues appear occasionally, including a clogged sink, tired towels, heavy deodoriser, and small equipment oversights. A straightforward, family-friendly base for exploring Dubbo.

Easy to park, staff were friendly and helpful. Location was convenient to go to the zoo, observatory and main shopping district. Park and club right opposite the street was a bonus.

Separate sink could be helpful. Sink was clogged on our first night. But was fine the following morning.

Good size room for a family, overly deodorised room that you can smell from the carpark and the towels needed to be retired years back as they were threadbare. Could be better but it was cheap.

Regular visitor to Dubbo and first time staying here. Room was spacious and comfortable, however I have marked down on the comfort rating due to the early morning noise from the cleaners trolley. I was staying 2 nights and around 8am was awoken by the noise of the cleaner's trolley outside my room and then at 8.45am was woken again by a knock on the door, even though I was staying a second night and checkout isn't until 10am. Motel is within walking distance to the Dubbo Zoo, Macquarie River and a few eatery options.

We had a great two night stay at Abel Tasman Motor Inn. Booked a 2 room unit and stayed with our 4 kids who loved having their own seperate room with their own TV! Staff were helpful and friendly, the room was clean and spacious, well stocked kitchen facilities and bathroom (enough soap and shampoo for all 6 of us which meant no fighting over who got to wash their hair when!), huge bathroom, room was serviced daily which is better service than we've had in 4 star hotels lately. We were in Dubbo to go to Western Plains Zoo which was a 3 minute drive down the road. Close to Woolies and the Ninja Warrior park across the road was a huge hit with the kids. Would definitely recommend, and we will be back! Thanks Abel Tasman
