What guests think

At Bathurst Explorers Motel, travellers describe a budget, pet-friendly stop with very small but comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and solid value, though the highway location brings some noise and parts of the property feel older.

Many guests highlight clean rooms, comfortable beds, and straightforward check-in, with staff accommodating requests and pets. The $5 continental breakfast is praised for value during quick stopovers. Drawbacks include compact bathrooms and bedrooms, traffic and neighbour noise, limited parking, and occasional maintenance issues such as aging air conditioners, leaks, or minor faults. Overall, it suits practical short stays when passing through.

Rooms were clean, lovely decor, area quiet. Loved that the pet section was separate to the rest of the units. The units are older so typically the aircon is quite noisy and the hot water took a while to come through but I'd happily stay there again. Great value. Loved that we were able to have our dog with us (the temperature was in the high 30 degrees!)

Just needed a nice little motel for the night. 60s style which has been renovated except for the A/C and the door locks. Old rattler window A/C, so noisy that we had to turn it off, but with out any opening windows it was very stuffy. Door locks need replacing, not secure at all.

Overall a decent place my family stayed in while visiting in the area. The staff was friendly and polite. Place provided basic things we needed and I loved that they have heated blankets although we didn't get to use them as it wasn't that cold. I'm sure they'd be very helpful during winter. I also loved that each guest was provided with 2 pillows each and the bed and pillows were comfortable. Could do better with cleaning like the bathroom had some stains on the wall. Also there weren't enough parking spaces for all guests so we had to park at the other building. Would stay here again next time.

We’re not disappointed in our stay. We needed somewhere to sleep that was cheap. The Explorer fitted the bill as the bed was comfortable, it was cheap and it was quiet. What we were not pleased about was the pool of water that covered the floor of entire kitchenette area. The shower was good, nice and hot but getting in and out of the bathroom was a bit of a trick and attempting to use the toilet took a bit of planning … super squeezy. We gave 3 stars as the room gave us what we required and aren’t very picky but most people would have given a lot less. I don’t think we’ll be back though.

Very long hair in the ONLY sink in the unit. The bathroom and toilet (combined) was so tiny and cramped you had to walk into the shower to close the door. The step up to the bathroom and the steel bar in the shower entrance were awkward to manage for those not totally mobile. Car parks need resealing. And BTW there is no receptionists available after 8om if you ring them.

Friendly welcoming reception upon arrival. Comfortable queen sized bed, small room, basic needs provided Bathroom sink very small, non adjustable spout and no room to wash face, without head butting the water spout. Thin window curtain so some people may question privacy. Morning light came quite early as a result. Road/truck traffic may be an issue depending on day of week. Overall, a decent stay aside of the above!

Would have rated it 5-stars were it not for a bit of noise from passing heavy vehicles - not enough to disturb unless a light sleeper. Simple but comfortable motel, with bonus of buffet continental breakfast at very reasonable cost. Bit out of town so need own tranport. Would definitely stay again.

Suited our requirements perfectly for one night travelling through... Having 2 rooms was perfect for us... One snorer one non snorer... No space in the room for 2 to comfortably sit down together so the restaurant 150 meters from the place was the option. Obviously being near the main thorougfare meant trucks drove past through the night...
