Manning River Motel

What guests think

At Manning River Motel, travellers describe clean, budget-friendly rooms and friendly staff, making it a practical stopover in Taree, though the accommodation is older and basic and some guests encountered confusing check-in signage or difficulty finding the property.

Rooms are generally comfortable with good shower pressure, but Wi-Fi can be weak and many mention there is no microwave. Parking is convenient, sometimes secure, though the entry road and potholes or limited space for large vehicles are noted; the neighbouring pub handles check-in and serves well-liked meals. Several guests found the motel quiet, yet a few reported noise from other guests at times. Expect a simple, value stay focused on convenience rather than frills.

The motel parking area was great but the entry road needs some work.Especially if your car is smaller. But over all my stay was pleasant. Enjoyed the hotel atmosphere and food, right next door.

Once again our stay was very good for the time we were in Taree. The only issue was parking due to construction work at the next door hotel. Luckily we could park our car in the secure hotel carpark for the one night.

For the price it was a great stay. Heaps of room and easy parking. Room was slightly dated as expected but very clean and everything worked well. Was nice to have a bar fridge that actually kept things cold for once too. Can’t even get that in the big hotels.

There's limited parking for large vehicles, but the hotel car park has CCTV security for expensive vehicles parked overnight.

Just had an overnight stay while travelling down the east coast. Room was spacious (although we had a family room as that was the last room available), bed was very comfortable and there was parking right outside the room. Pub next door was great (you check in & collect the key here) - not fancy, but friendly staff, and the meals were superb. We had both lunch and dinner in it. Would stay here again if I was stopping off in Taree.
