The Staff was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a group reunion and the staff made sure that we were comfortable and warmed by a "fire pit" fire

kitchen facilities were very poor. No toaster or microwave oven. Just one t-spoon, 2 mugs, no knives, forks or bowls. Just 2 water glasses. No Wine glasses or no tea towels, plates or plug for the bathroom vanity basin. No Clock. and no small table to sit at to have breakfast or a coffee. Maybe an electric blanket for the colder months would enhance one's stay & comfort.

I do like that there is clear effort and thought put into the renovations transition that they’re doing. There are some very lovely touches, like the unique blankets and pillows on a clean and new bed. There is nice hanging art and an exceptionally clean bathroom.

There is some improvement to be made, I think that a microwave or an ironing board would really go a long way!

The room itself was updated with the white brick. Quite nice. Good location. The beds were super comfy and the netlfix on TV was a great touch.

The door to the bathroom was updated to a sliding barn door which looked great but when you close it it rolls back open. Also the curtains were a bit far back from the window so was quite a gap you could see through. Luckily we were at the end of the row and didn't really bother us we just avoided that corner.

We stayed there because we were attending a concert at one of the vineyards. There are bus services that run from the motel(s) in Cessnock so if you are going to a concert worth checking out. The hosts were very friendly and liked to have a chat to everyone as they packed up in the morning. Room was clean and comfortable. Locally owned so worth supporting

There are not enough car parks on site but there is street parking

Traveled for work. Friendly and hospitable staff. Motel is a work in progress. Club very close with good food and drink. Good shower, air con and tea facilities. I will stay again.

Room very clean and comfortable, room is from a bygone era but has modern facilities and tech, the owner is in the process of updating properties facilities. I'm looking forward to seeing the ongoing progress.

Family run business providing excelent hospitality servicew, they organzied to drop us off at a winery for function about 15 minutes drive away for free. And would have picked us up at night if we got lost. This is like nothing we seen before so totally amazed and maximally satisfied. 100% recommend!

I love the fact the staff were very helpful especially when we arrived. He asked to take our bags upstairs for us. They were polite and helpful. The accommodation was very clean and spacious and perfect for a little get away.

I loved the accomadation where we stayed and the rooms we had booked one thing I didn't like was that there was no microwave for a 2 night stay with a toddler who still has milk at night times. We had to improvise and heat up his milk with the kettle.

Was a lovely place to stay. Close to shops and town. The bed was very comfortable, the staff were very friendly and professional and we definitely will return for another stay in the future.

The only downfall was that there was no microwave available otherwise couldn’t fault our stay.

Spacious room. Liked those retro tiles in the bathroom- floor and walls (hope some of it gets retained in the reno)

The property is undergoing renovation works, we were given one of the pre-reno'ed rooms. Not an issue as it was still great for an overnight stay, but photos on booking.com made it seem like the renovation has been completed.

the room was refurbished in a tasteful and interesting way. comfortable and quiet despite the motel being full. the staff and owner were friendly and helpful.

The owner explained the whole motel is undergoing a refurbishment. some of the facilities are therefore a work in progress. based on what we saw of the rooms it will be lovely when finished.
