We stayed at the Royal Tara for a night during a long road trip, and were greeted with large, very clean, and comfortable rooms, and friendly staff. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious and the staff were very friendly.

Seem less transition from booking to book in. Had tried to stay before but always showed as booked out. Only a few rooms are let via Hotels.com. Lots of free parking which is great given I have a commercial vehicle. Room was heated effectively before our arrival which was first class service. Milk in fridge. Quick check in. Hope to stay again.

Binalong is such a pretty village and the Motel Royal Tara is comfortable, clean and convenient for a stroll into the historic town centre. The management were so kind - I arrived on a Monday when the dining room was usually not open but they made me the most delicious fillet steak dinner. Perfect!
