What guests think

At Barooga River Gums Motor Inn, reviewers highlight spotlessly clean, modern and very spacious rooms, warm and helpful hosts, and a convenient, walkable location near pubs, restaurants, the river and golf, with meticulously kept gardens and well-maintained grounds.

Many guests are repeat visitors and describe it as excellent value. Rooms often include kitchenettes or suites with dining space and lounge seating, while one reviewer found the basic microwave-only setup limiting. Noise feedback varies: one report of traffic and neighbor noise, while others noted a quiet setting. Expect a clean, comfortable, and convenient motel stay.

Third stay here. For an older property it always surprises how clean and well kept they keep it. Lovely little place with lovely owners. We will be back again.

Great place to base ourselves for a couple of days on a driving holiday. Beautifully kept, spacious rooms and only a short walk from the river and great food. Owners were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area.

This was our second stay here. We have stayed in quite a few Motels over the Christmas period. We have found, all the Motels & Rooms we have stayed in, this Motel is by far the Cleanest. The bathroom has had a Modern renovation done in the past, & it’s being kept Clean. The Room is Spaciuos and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here once again. Thank you to management and the Cleaners on a job well done.

We stayed in a Deluxe Suite, the Room was spacious, the room had a kitchen, dining table and Chairs, a couple of Comfy chairs where you could put your feet up and relax, which was lovely. The Suite was so clean, I could not fault the place at all. The staff were lovely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

My wife and I stayed 3 nights and from the moment we went into reception we knew it was going to be a pleasant stay. The host were just lovely and when we went into our room we couldn't believe how modern, clean and spacious it was. Unfortunately when we left my wife forgot her necklace that has sentimental value to her and when i called they went and found it and expressed posted it to us the next day. Awesome old fashioned service that is missing in so many properties we stay at. We will certainly be back.

We loved staying at the Barooga River Gums Motor Inn. Modern and clean rooms, with comfortable beds, and kitchen and all required utensils to cook in. Quiet property but only a quick walk to the Local Park or Mini-Golf. Hosts were very friendly. Will visit again next year!
