The Wayfarer Motel

Mould on ceiling over shower towel rail just hanging lights over the bed don’t work one hanging of the wall old units need revamping have been let go can hardly see the sign at night entrance blocked had to use a unlit entrance sorry having travelled and stayed in motels for years this I believe would be the worst went to office at 8 pm to check out no lights no one there so we left

Located on the main street but towards the southern end of town. Exterior of the property could use some attention (tidy up). No frills but a comfortable night's stay.

Pet friendly. Needs wifi.

The pool was closed I don’t know why

Garden and pool area were overgrown and unkempt, very unappealing from the street. Room was basic but clean. Aircon was not great. Wi-fi was dreadful

Booked to stay somewhere with a pool and the pool was dirty and the area overgrown. My family was very disappointed.

The motel is old and outdated. No facilities on property ie WiFi, bathroom taps miss labeled and shower screen missing panel so water goes everywhere

Old and in poor condition, area was untidy, curtains had moth holes all over them, towels were that old they were paper thin, chip board supporting fridge in poor condition, the entry into/out of Wayfarers is damn dangerous.

Have stayed many times before but motel has really gone downhill pool was green, no hot water in shower and the behaviour of guests (workmen) staying in motel was not great We were kept awake by them drinking and partying until 1:30am They were banging on our motel room door

Some necessary updates were done to the room but more needs to be done to justify the price. Grounds were terrible.

This would be my in my top 3 of worst motels ever stayed in. We were allocated room 15 after our room 1 was not ready at 2.45pm at check in. The room was grubby, dusty and in dire need of renovation. The bathroom ceiling mouldy. Curtains ill-fitting and torn in places. I have photos to back up my assessment. Never again.

Cleanliness and bed was nice

I just found the unit was very clean and tidy. Everything i needed was in place, I never worked out the proper use of the TV but I watched free to air and went to sleep. I could have made an effort and used all streaming services available. Excellent property and value for money

Rooms out the back are decent 3-star standard, with signs of wear and tear but clean and functional. Front of building looks very rundown and cannot comment on these rooms. Owner was very helpful.

Clean room, good location

Comfortable, clean

The pics look 4 star, the room did not warrant 1 star cockeroaches were everywhere, on the bed in very old cupboard that had the cups etc,my wife thought they were in her hair during the night.So you can imagine how well we slept

The property is very run down and in need of major renovations. Dust and cobwebs all over the walls mould in the bathroom. A bed that needed to be thrown out years ago. When you layes down blood rushed to your head and one side of the mattress completely lacked any support at all. The hot water failed, it was like all the rooms are connected from water pressure prespective because I was halfway through my shower when I lost all hot water pressure. Not enjoyable trying to wash the soap off with a dribble of water. Walls very thin, people in joining room left there TV of all night so that was all you could hear when trying to sleep The worst part however was thst our room door would not lock. They have keypad locking system but once we opened the door it would not lock, solution was to just use the chain on the door. No matter what the owner tried it wouldn't lock. While the owner was pleasant on the phone and answered all my calls it was all the other things that made thia worst place I have ever stayed and I would not recommend anyone stay here.

I would not recommend the property at all it was crawling with cockroaches I used a tin of spray to kill them they were up the wall in the toilet and all over where the toaster cutlery were and crawling over the floor

The rooms are very old and out dated You can’t adjust the aircon unit It smells of mould The bed was terrible The pictures on wotif need to be updated Never again

Old fashion through the wall air con too loud to sleep, when hot shower turned on water flowed through the wall tiles & down the bathroom floor, power point in bathroom did not work, for elect. use power board on bed table.I can't believe this room would be let out in this condition.

Cheap motel. Room was ok but nothing else.

Peeling paint in the room. Outside facade and door were filthy. Traffic noise from the nearby road was very loud.

Wayfarer is a basic motel, but fine for an overnight stay in Muswellbrook. Room size was fine for myself, and comfortable stay. Fridge and microwave was handy

Incredibly shabby and aircon in dire need of repair. Bathroom revolting. Only one PowerPoint with extension. Only one bedside lamp. On the upside we didn’t get bedbugs!

This place was revolting. The door wouldnt lock so we had to take our bags out everytime. There was no hot water and we stayed there for more than 2 weeks. There were cockroaches everywhere. Motel manager didnt seem to care at all and didnt solve any issues.

It is very old and outdated. Don’t see the staff. You are given a door code before you arrive. Needs a lot of work.

I recommend reading the fine print which says to contact them for checkin details before arrival or you might find yourself unable to checkin. Reception was unattended when we arrived and the phone rang out. There was a note on the door saying they'd be back at 3.30 but it was closer to 4pm.

Our check-in expert was woeful. We arrived at 2:15pm, at the start of check-in time, to find the reception door locked, no one in attendance and a no vacancy sign up. We were booked in so the no vacancy sign wasn’t concerning but we needed to book in as quickly as possible because we needed to be at a funeral and we were already late due to unforeseen road works. I rang to contact number from the website, because there was no number displayed at the reception door and received a ‘this mailbox is full’ response so I couldn’t even leave a message. Eventually my husband walked around the back of the building and found someone in the backyard and asked them to open up for us! They were apologetic, but we shouldn’t have had to go to that extent to be able to register.

Quick easy check in

Great reception welcome.

Property close to services and staff were very friendly and helpful

Friendly service

I arrived at 5.30. I thought it was a disused motel. No one at reception. Poor lighting. Texted reception. They told me to go to Room 15. It was pitch black. There was only one car - a Ute next to my room out the back. Wolf Creek vibes. I asked for room out the front. They said the rooms were dirty but said I could have room 9. The pin didn't work. I asked for a refund. They said okay. But I got charged. Currently arguing with them. Stay wide clear unless you're a movie producer looking for a serial killer's hunting ground. This is just the place for you.

The front desk closed at 6pm on Friday and I was given a code over the phone from a woman, without giving much the detail where it was to be used. Luckily, there was an after hour mobile number that I could call. The lady owner told me to use the code on the digital lock at my room after she told me so. I was charged twice on that day, but got a refund a week after. The owner was very helpful and friendly. The positive is that it is quite quiet inside room although it is situated alongside the highway. I couldn\'t hear heavy vehicles go past. It is also very convenient to find places to eat, e.g. KFC, "Maccas", Chinese (closed after 9pm). One big negative is that the room did smell a little, probably from someone with body odour. They should have used air freshener when cleaning up their rooms.

Clean room, good location

Very tidy convenient motel easy to find and assesable.. close to shops ..

Quite a few of the tap washers need changing as the constant drip and water noise was quite evident in the quiet of the night. Loved waking up to birdsong from the golf course each morning.
