Murray River Motel

What guests think

Murray River Motel is a budget, clean stop with friendly staff, a family-friendly pool and BBQ area, and simple in-room amenities, though some rooms feel small or dated and there are occasional maintenance issues, hot-water lapses and noisy air-conditioners.

Many guests find good value for money and appreciate renovated or modern bathrooms and strong showers. The location is a little out of town but walkable to dining, attractions and river trails, with rooms set back off the main road for a generally quiet stay. Best suited to simple overnight stops rather than longer stays.
