Rockpool Motor Inn

What guests think

Rockpool Motor Inn earns consistent praise for friendly, welcoming staff, a handy setting near the country club, beach and shops, and useful features like undercover parking and a pleasant central pool that contributes to a relaxed atmosphere.

Rooms are generally clean, comfortable, and spacious, though some feel dated, with tired bathrooms, missing fittings, and occasional noise from plumbing or door slams. The on site restaurant draws strong reviews for tasty meals and value when operating, but several guests encountered closures and a few noted slow service. A practical base for South West Rocks with reliable essentials and minor trade offs.

A little dated, but clean and comfortable, with friendly staff and in a great position. The central position of the pool is nice, but the fact it was only open until 7pm (before sunset during summer) seemed a little silly. Probably a little overpriced for what you get, but overall a decent place to stay.

Spa is very old and dirty, the water came out from shower is not clean, it’s yellow! Left a large area of yellow deposit on the basin, this is not healthy and also not safe. The facility need to be checked before watif list for other customers. Definitely a health and hygiene concern. We have photos if you guys need. The dinner service is lovely.

Property is in a good location to town and next to the Country Club. Received advice about the restuarant before arrival only to find out it was in fact closed the duration of the long weekend. No rooms are serviced during this period either. Shower gel was empty in the shower and the pump machines are not very user friendly. Overall just a standard Motor Inn for a small town nothing special at all.

Totally underwhelming! Nowhere near being 4star facility as described - dirty shower screens, mould around outside of shower, aged and yellowing fittings, very old shaver/hair dryer outlet, old benches in kitchen, thin carpet on floors. Sadly I could not recommend to anyone.
