What guests think

At Tenterfield Motor Inn, travellers consistently praise the clean, comfortable, and often spacious rooms, friendly staff, and a central location behind the tavern that makes meals and drinks convenient during an easy stopover in Tenterfield.

Many like the in-room continental breakfast and parking by the door, though the breakfast is simple. Recurring downsides include noise from the tavern or patrons at closing time, patchy Wi-Fi in some rooms, and occasional dated TVs or small maintenance and cleaning oversights. Overall, expect a clean, good-value stay with great convenience and potential evening noise.

Very pleasant welcome on arrival and thorough information given (although some of it turned out incorrect). The room was basic but had good amenities with continental breakfast provided. The bed was on the hard side. On the surface, everything was clean but found to be in need of attention behind doors, around light switches and handles and on the entry patio. The meal at the Tavern was very good. Just very disappointed we had very little sleep due to other guests partying next door. When we rang reception they came and asked them to quieten down (11pm) but they still carried on, albeit a little quieter, till well after midnight.

Had an enjoyable one night stay. Room was lovely and clean. Appreciated the continental breakfast that was left in the room for us for the following morning, and dinner at the tavern was pretty good. Only complaint was being woken by a large group of intoxicated people leaving the tavern at close who hung around in the car park being quite loud for a while, but other than that was a good stay. Thankyou!

Very clean spacious room with great breakfast provisions, friendly staff, bistro had huge meals at great prices excellent value for money. Our room had a big shower without a screen which sprayed water from toilet to vanity which made the tiles very slippery and everything got wet. Overall very happy with our stay would stay again without hesitation.

Pretty good place to stay. Clean. Free in room continental breakfast was a nice touch. Friendly lady who checked us in. A small discount off some deinks at the co-located tavern. Set back from the highway, so you couldn't hear the passing traffic. Unfortunately the night that we stayed there was a band playing in the tavern and it was loud. Perhaps better for a mid week stay when that can be avoided

Room was very clean, tidy & comfortable - Convenient being next to the bistro - wouldn’t return to the bistro though - entree very small for the price you pay, salt and pepper squid (only received 5 small pieces of squid and was under cooked) $14 and average in taste - steak tough and chewy - lamb cutlets were good though.. we have had the experience, most likely won’t return.
