Macquarie Barracks Motor Inn

The location is excellent, we couldn't have planned a better place to stay. Everything we needed was either a short walk or trip in the car. AAA+++

Like most Motels, the 1 thing that determines whether you have a great stay or not is the Bed. It doesn't matter what other facilities are at the motel or whether the restaurant served the best meals, if the bed is uncomfortable and you don't get a good sleep it ruins your stay. That's the first thing you'd repeat to others wanting to stay.

We had the entire apartment above reception which looked as though it'd been recently going through some work. It was a beautiful open space with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and bathroom. The kitchen had everything we could possibly need to cook for ourselves, and the living room couches were very comfy recliners so we spent a lot of time on them relaxing.

Not much could've improved our stay - it was one of the best places we stayed on our roadtrip overall.

Check in was quick , professional and welcoming. I had requested a ground floor room which was provided. The room was very clean and comfortable. Parking available outside our room. It had a well stocked mini bar available in the room. .

I don’t really have any negatives. The restaurant was closed but I had received notification of that before we arrived.

Ease of access, close to things, comfortable and clean. Nice courtyard.

Providing full cutlery in rooms not just a knife and teaspoon, Lights above bed were dirty as was blind in bathroom, and some mould on shower glass next to toilet

We have stayed 3 times at Macquarie Barracks as a stopover on our trips to Sydney . This time we stayed 4 nights and got to enjoy the amazing beaches, and restaurants at Port Macquarie. The Motel is very clean and comfortable . We relaxed in the pool . It has everything we needed and is very economical. Staff are very obliging .

Could probably have a few more seats around the pool area

Great location minutes from the town centre. Easy to get to. Rooms are always clean and smell lovely. TV's are a good size and offer all streaming services. Food delivery available and buffet breakfast in the mornings are great.

Not a thing! Everything was great!

Sadly I was there overnight only and therefore not able to enjoy the facilities - pool, garden with barbeque. The restaurant was not open for breakfast nor dinner - a pity.

An open restaurant

Loved that there was a courtyard setting and that you could have fresh air. Easy access. Bed was super comfortable.

There was only butter knives and teaspoons some more basic cutlery and bowls would have been preferred as not everyone eats out.

The room was big and light filled, with comfortable arm chairs to sit on (we were staying in a king size luxurious room). The reception staff and dining room staff were efficient, very friendly and helpful. I couldn’t fault them. The location of the property was on a busy road but we couldn’t hear the road traffic noise in our room. The hotel was not in the middle of town nor near the beach areas, however with a car this was not really a problem.

The only negative was no microwave in our room and to a slight degree location of the hotel

Centrally located position, extremely clean tidy rooms & well decorated with all necessary facilities. Staff made it very easy for us to arrive late - very easy! I would stay here again, but specifically ask for one of the rooms set back from the road.

Our particular room was close to the road, and from 6am, it was pretty busy with traffic, and then the gardener with his blower outside our room!
