Bulahdelah Motor Lodge

What guests think

Bulahdelah Motor Lodge is widely described as a convenient, reliable stopover, with travellers praising clean rooms and welcoming staff, while acknowledging the motel is older but well maintained and well placed just off the highway for easy access.

Rooms are generally comfortable but dated, with several noting generous space, while a minority reported traffic or neighbor noise and inconsistent mattress comfort. The on-site restaurant and breakfast draw praise when operating, though travellers also encountered periodic closures and occasional slow service or underwhelming dishes. Extras like the small pool and parking directly outside rooms add convenience for short stays. A practical choice for an uncomplicated overnight break.

We booked a two room suite and it was spacious and comfortable. The restaurant meals were delicious and we had a room service breakfast delivered. The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a nice pool and the motel was situated in a nice area. Overall a lovely stay.

This was a no fuss motel. Our room was clean and tidy. Plenty of space for all of us and we were able to keep our trailer close by as there was plenty of parking. The availability of a pool and sauna was great though we didn’t use it. We went to the town pool with our extended family. We would stay again when travelling. It was close enough for us to walk to the local shops, there were 2 petrol stations with takeaway food next door and across the road and only about 2 km off the highway. Overall we had a good stay

Perfect little place for a short stay in Bulahdelah. Not in the heart of town, so quiet, but definitely walkable to town. Right next to a roadhouse BP, so more options than a normal servo. Had a nice breakky there and can get almost any necessity. Staff are super friendly and relaxed. Nice and quiet now that all the trucks and traffic can bypass Bulahdelah instead of driving through. Little pool as an extra bonus for the kids. Free laundry room was extremely convenient! Have stayed before and would again if I ever pass through the area!

Simple accommodation which was perfect for an over night stay when travelling with my young family. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The kids loved the pool and it was a nice activity to wind down after a day of driving. The room was clean and beds were very comfortable. The room was dated but very clean.

It’s all you need for a decent night’s rest on a long drive. The town looked lovely and the sunset was beautiful. Some nice dining and healthy food options in town. Pub seemed lively!

The motel itself is great and supplies all you need for a short stay. However the age and style of the motel makes it very noisy - neighbours eating and talking outside (and inside can also be heard) and vehicles outside. It’s a pity

The worst mattress I've ever slept on, probably hasn't been changed in 50 years. Woke up with a sore back. Person at front desk doesn't seem to want to be doing what he's doing, felt like I was inconveniencing him just by checking in. It was meant to be a non smoking room but there were ashtrays right outside our door so the smoke could come in anyway. I can see why this was the last hotel available in the area. Wouldn't stay here again.

A bit disappointed that we filtered for a motel with a restaurant due to traveling and not wanting to drive again for dinner, yet the restaurant was not reopening until 11 January. The room was quiet which we appreciated but bed was a bit hard. Room was clean and had the amenities needed for our overnight stay.
