Great place to stay near alstonville. Incredibly helpful service by Frances at a time of high pressure due to the Lismore floods. Thanks for all your help. Very nice garden rooms for those travelling or for a few days.

The Unit itself was very clean and enjoyable BUT the bed seemed broken and very uncomfortable. When I pay to sleep somewhere, you want a nice bed. Maybe they need to invest on some new beds for peoples comfort.

Rooms may differ from photos
We booked a twin room based on the information and photos on the hotels.com website which showed a walk-in shower in the bathroom. I also emailed the motel to check that this was the case but did not receive a reply so assumed it was. When we arrived and found a shower over the bath, not ideal for less mobile elderly people, the receptionist was pleasant but unable to move us to a suitable room. The location is quiet and the rooms are pleasant and well appointed but unfortunately we had an older style bathroom with mould in the silicon seals. It is handy to the Tavern next door which serves good meals and is quite popular, but maybe phone ahead to confirm if you need a room with a walk-in shower.
