Grafton Lodge Motel

What guests think

Across many reviews, Grafton Lodge Motel is praised for friendly, helpful staff and spacious, comfortable rooms—often with kitchen areas—while cleanliness is strong overall, though some guests noted aging furnishings, maintenance blemishes, and occasional weak air conditioning or patchy Wi‑Fi.

Location suits stopovers and access to nearby shops or a pub, but multiple guests warn that rooms close to the railway can be noisy at night. Facilities like outdoor seating areas and a pool are mentioned positively, with little further detail. Expect a straightforward, good‑value motel stay.

Michelle and staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a convenient neat and well maintained motel. Our room had a good size living area separated from the kitchen by an island style dining table. Neat bathroom and walk thru robe. The decor was tasteful and the apartment was modern yet relaxed.

It was convenient for me as I just needed to rest overnight on my way to QLD. My room was clean but could do with a new mattress and the bathroom and kitchen could do with a makeover. The windows have flimsy fly screens so for safety I needed to shut the windows, I would prefer some fresh air, perhaps new crimsafe type screens would be good. The pool looked lovely but it was a bit cold for a swim. On the whole and for the price it was an ok motel.

Our room was very clean and comfortable with ceiling fans and air conditioning and had been renovated recently. The owner was very welcoming and we felt very comfortable. The nearby pub/bistro he recommended was excellent. Only minor gripe was the patchy internet reception. We felt the owners were trying very hard to make our stay a pleasant one.

The property had high quality styling both externally and internally to the rooms. Unfortunately, this high quality styling was not matched by the maintenance. Water stains evident in the ceiling and patching thereof did not match the quality of the remainder of the property. Additionally, the air conditioner unit was not sufficiently powerful for the rooms.
