Josefina
Great atmosphere, clean room, accessible and friendly staff.
Svetlana
Stayed facing the waterfront, the room was freshly cleaned, drinks were kept cold in the mini bar fridge! Coffee & Tea condiments were provided. Parking was secure and the staff were very friendly. Air con was helpful during hot days. Close to shops and restaurants. Bed was comfortable. No noise!
Lisa
Parking area limited near room.
Room very outdated and wall coatings peeling.
Very basic if looking for somewhere simple. Was overpriced in my opinion.

Peter
Comfortable beds, everything you need is in the room. Great bar and bistro that is part of the complex. Commended the chef on the steak, it was memorable.
Diana
The room was clean and tidy, , carpets were new and the room was freshly painted since my last stay, although the single bed was not good, very worn out , uncomfortable and hard to sleep on but the queen bed was comfy ( my friend slept in the queen bed) bar staff were very lovely and the meal was good in the bistro
Mary
Pleasant setting overlooking river.. Room opened directly from parking with no other outside door so less safe , Convenient location for town and roads . Bathroom has step to enter and tiles need updating . Not very easy for a traveller with mobility issues,. Staff very helpful and.. map of area provided
Sean
The room is very old and dated but served it’s purpose
Jeffrey
The Room was Clean & Comfortable, yes a bit dated, but fit for purpose.
We all had a restful night.
However, for a family of 4, the \"Family Room\" was very \"snug\", so I not sure about the value for money as we have stayed in plenty of other places for less $$ with space to move.
I also think an additional curtain across the bathroom would provide better privacy for the shower user as an unfortunately placed mirror meant the people on the beds see you coming out of the shower.

Like that you a near water and there’s a pub
Kezang
Prime location with excellent view and warm ambience. Love it!
Brett
nothing good to say about the place
Anthony
Staff were wonderful . Food at the pub was good . Room was basic but comfortable.
Hilary
Convenient, basic accommodation, just off highway. Good food at the adjoining pub.
Max
Fridge & microwave good, lack of towels and toilet paper no good. It was convenient to where I needed to go. I would stay there again if in the area. There was live music, and people seemed happy, enjoying themselves.
Owen
Quiet and clean and did the job but the rooms need a refresh and update
Phil
Hotel and Pub
Good little hotel attached to a pub. Great food and very friendly staff and easy checkin. Parking outside room. Overall good condition could do with an update but would definitely stay there again
David
Location. Nice staff. Nice food
Verified traveler
Great spot to stay at. The rooms are basic, but clean, good shower, comfortable bed, parking outside the door.
We had room 21 which backs onto gardens with the caravan park behind it. We slept soundly and didn’t hear any road noise. It was Saturday night and the hotel and motel were full with a DJ playing in the gardens which are next to the river away from our room. For an overnighter I would definitely stay there again. Walking distance to Moruya itself.

Stephen
Older motel in need of a major upgrade/renovation. Stained & freyed carpet. Stained chair. Mould in bathroom which is extremely small. The most uncomfortable bed I've slept in as it needs a new mattress.
On a positive side, it is attached to a Pub & Bistro.

Anna
The shower and hand basin water was just luke warm! If not cold most of the time felt like the hot water was regulated. If it was 40 degrees outside having a cold shower would have been ok. there was no dish washing liquid to clean cups and utensils. Valance on single bed was all ripped and hang on the floor, tripping hazard, beds were comfortable, toilet seat definitely needs replacement as peeling, this is definitely a very old motel as it shows all the wear and tears.
Steve
Everything close
Dinesh
Value for money
Nice, economical, located, cozy & comfortable place to stay..
Jane
Sure, it's old, but it's clean and comfortable and priced fairly. Excellent, quiet air con. Parking just outside the door. And the pub/bistro is great.
Mike
The window had no lock on it. So I felt vulnerable. It was very clean but reeked of bleach. Property is overall tired. Could not take a shower the water was only tepid at best. Ran for 10 min never got warm.
shirley
This is the worst motel but the manager on duty was extremely helpful and was-excellent in dealing with clints
Tony
Typical country pub/motel. Correctly priced for what it had.
Paul
Room was ok for the price, clean and tidy. Motel parking spots need to be numbered. Meals were excellent, helpful staff.
John
Ok but not great
Room was basic but clean. Nearby hotel had loud disco on Saturday night that went up to midnight. No allocated parking outside rooms so first in best dressed. Couldn’t get a park inside on Saturday night so had to park out front near street. On Sunday night came back to find big ute taking up two spaces outside our room. Luckily got a spot not too far away.
Russell
Beautiful serene area perfect for arvo drinks
Peta
The furniture and linen all looked new and fresh but the walls and carpet old and in need of cleaning and freshing up plus our room had european cockroaches crawling up the walls and over bed.
Robert
We booked in already the 4th time in the last few years and all is every time great. And we are sure that we will come again during the year.
Shayne

Floors n tiles were dirty, mould on ceiling in toilet and shower.

lisa
This motel advertised daily house keeping we stay 9 nights and the room wasn't serviced once. No clean towels no refill of toilet paper etc. I wasn't expecting a flash room for the price but l didn't expect mould on roof and curtains and stained towels.
Linda
Great bar and restaurant at motel. Room was a bit grungy from age but had just about everything we needed. Bed was sparkling clean and comfy.
Mary
Although old and dated our room was very clean and comfortable. Protected from traffic noise even though on a busy main road.
Richardson
Basic rooms behind pub
Robert
We have been there now already the third time and we were always satisfied.
Sam
Clean bed, hot shower, good beer, great entertainment from local bands.
Colin
Glad I dropped in.
Stopped here on a recent road trip. While the rooms we got were older they were clean and the beds extremely comfortable for the price. Went to the adjoining Hotel for a few cold ones as the sun set, they had music and decent traditional pub food. Nice flat pool table's and straight cue's if that's what you are into as well. It's a nice easy walk across the bridge to the town centre if you want coffee or breakfast in the morning.
Lyn
A great little pub. Beautiful beer garden overlooking Moruya River. Friendly helpful staff and good food. Older style accommodation but clean and comfortable.
Peter
The room was clean but it definitely needs renovations, no door in the shower
Oscar
Chick at reception is cute
Robert
We stayed here before 7 weeks ago and loved it so much we booked again.
brian
It’s cheap and that reflects the rooms
Robert
We liked it very much that there were real blankets on the bed and not only sheets. It would have been nice if in the shower would be a possibility to put shampoo, soap and shower gel on.
Andrew
location is fantastic! wouldn’t expect such a great riverside view in a budget stay.
staff did a great job keeping a tired property up to scratch

Tom
Great place to stay , did look a bit dingy from the outside but immaculate inside
William
Great food available at the hotel
Helen
This is a very basic property with excellent staff and service. While the property is very well kept and clean, the rooms are of a good size and the bed was very comfortable, it is in need of some renovation throughout. The location on the riverfront can't be beaten.
David
Was ok. Got what I paid for. Very basic.
Lisa-Jane
Pretty,clean,free upgrade.
KEVIN
The property needs renovating. It is quite old and desperately needs an upgrade. The only highlight was the comfortable bed.
Andrew
Pictures on website are in my opinion not current.
Room was very dated and in poor condition.
I used a redemption night to stay but if had booked at $130 price advertised i would have been really disappointed.
Ate dinner in bistro and ordered a schnitzel.
Needed a steak knife to cut through schnitzel as was burnt and over cooked.
Came with a small salad and at $29 for meal it was a huge let down.
I ate meal as was starving.
Im a sales executive and travel frequently.
I would rate this venue a 1 or below.

Michael
It is in one of our most beautiful areas
Cheryl
Value for money, location next to the river and garden were lovely. Staff were terrific and although I was worried about being close to the music they were absolutely great about finishing on time and I wasn’t disturbed afterwards. Extra bonus was the service station next door late hours and fantastic food options .
Kim
Great little place to say, views from room. Room was set up nicely. Only downside was one light for the whole room (no light in toilet) so a lamp would have been handy. Otherwise great place to stay.
Nanda
Dirty courtyard, smelling room, unfriendly shower area. Room was not like photo we saw while booking. We cut short our trip by one day and donated second day amount to hotel
Shad Elle
Enjoyed out stay very nice staff Thankyou
Thomas
It was perfect for the rate and in walking distance of the town
Mohammad
We stayed 4 nights, but they didn’t clean the room, change bed sheet, pillow case, towels, etc. we needed to go to store room to bring towels, which was ridiculous. They didn’t top up teas/coffee/sugar.
Michael
I liked the waterfront drinking area. Meal was nice but iverpriced. Tv didnt work
Richard
It is a very old motel needing lots of maintenance
John
The river view was something special looking out our unit window
Steve
I had a small single room & as an elderly guest, I found getting up from the toilet difficult because the wall was so close in front that it was impossible to lean forward. Otherwise, I was very happy. The food in the dining room was very good, the staff were nice and very helpful and everything was spotlessly clean. Excellent value for money and I shall return when next in the area.
Loes
Great riverside pub location for dining and drinking. Affordable modest accommodation- comfortable beds but an openable window and bedside lamps would improve amenity.
Tim
Check-in procedure. Room we wanted with river view was not ready. Room we got, yeah well it was a room. Hotel straight out of the 60s and in desperate need of an overhaul and refurb.
Room was small, had a small tv, small shower, again if your into nostalgia it's ok. Noisy fridge.
No curtains to blockout the lights from outside carpark, no extraction fans so plenty of mould.
Bed was comfy, pillows meh.
You have an excellent position but please demolish this place and build a modern hotel/motel in its place.

I did not like the fact that the single bed had fresh blood like stain on the quilt cover likely my son did not come so no need to use that bed ,also that I called early during the day to say we where going to do check in late they said they would live the key ,unable to find the key had to make phone call it was raining heavily
Elizabeth
Eating on wayer front
Dimitrios
Unfortunately didn’t stay long enough to enjoy the facilities. Clean linen and towels Milk tea/coffee biscuits. Bathroom looked a little tired but everything worked as expected, hot water, tv and fridge. Views of the river
Uschi
Room 8, was dirty, in ill repair, badly worn and guest checked out after 1 night (booked to stay for 2). Common areas were not kept well. Dead Plant, roof badly water damaged. Linen was clean and crisp and Bistro/Bar was ok
Reider
Great Service all round
Comfy bed, reliable internet, great service, nice room - all in all a good experience and value for money
Stassen
Lots of water damage to ceilings otherwise clean and tidy. Nice riverside outlook
John
Great accommodation option in Moruya
Find this a great little spot. Well located south side of bridge, just a few minutes walk into town and on the river. Great if you can get a water view room. Excellent pub onsite, staff welcoming and service oriented.
Victoria
Well it's very basic, lovely comfortable bed and high quality linen. However found a lot of hair on the carpet floor.. Vacuuming wasn't done properly. Room faced petrol station and no water views lol. TV is a tiny computer size screen Palsonic and we could not get any signal out of it. And very poor outdated appalling lighting. Only one Hospital like Bright Yellow Tube Light way too uncomfortable for a small room. I small wall painting or anything to jazz it up that motel dreary wall look. It would suit one night stay after a long journey, just sleep and get out, other than that I would not recommend.

So beautiful by the river

Micayla
Disgusting. Stayed one night passing through to a more southern destination. Couldn’t pay me $1000 to ever stay there again. Checked out by 6.30am. Unclean, rotten windows, carpet disgusting and not to mention the bathrooms missing and cracked tiles and mould in the corners and on the roof, considered driving 4 hours home and cutting our holiday short by 4 days as we were to late to book anywhere else. Trying to reach them to get refund of some sort. It’s not worth $1.
Rex
Excellent service great spot good meals and friendly staff
Carel
The Mattress springs have had it, not good for your back
Jan
Unique view, friendly staff, good dining options, good walking distance to shops or just a lovely place to chill by the river.
Tanya
Room was tiny. Very basic. Bathroom was tiny. Very old and worn and thin walls. If price was cheaper it would be understandable what the room looked like.
The bistro food was great, and the views were good. Staff were very friendly.
Site is tradie friendly.

Mark
Very old and needs a major upgrade or knocked down and start again. Only good thing, water pressure in shower great.
Steve
Claiming that they are a motel, they need to make it a little quieter with the hotel next door. A group of yahoos were in an adjoining room and were noisy well into the early hours. not much sleep. I will not stay again.
Dave
Roof had water damage and subsequent visible mould.
Bathroom has no door, wall length mirror in main area allows ppl to watch others enter/exit shower cubical.
Toilet doesn't have floor to roof walls so no privacy to odour and noise.
Quard room is out-dated with old fixtures and facilities.
Would not stay here again or recommend to others

Parking areas in front of rooms dirty with cigarette butts and just generally not swept. Storage area adjacent to room 13 untidy and looked unkept.
The staff's response to my not being able to lock my door from the inside of room 13 was wonderful and I appreciated being moved to another room.
The rooms themselves inside clean & comfy BUT TV remote felt sticky and trays for crockery were a little dirty - uncovid. Thank you to the staff behind the bar for their great service.

Being in a beautiful site right by the river was its saving grace.
Unfortunately the room was shabby and doona on the bed dirty.and the bathroom and toilet were very dirty. The dining area was good and the menu simple.
It could be such a nice place with care and pride taken.

Helpful proprietor, reasonable rate, quieter than expected. Unfortunately no bar or food service but request for MW fulfilled. Needs curtains above door as very bright at night.

EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED
The motel had handed the whole property over for a corporate function and couldn't honour my booking but as compensation would gladly put me up at another recently renovated property and would cover the difference. I had to agree and assumed the other room would be at least of equal standard to what I had booked. Upon arrival at the other property all their motel rooms were occupied so I was given a room in a demountable tradies cabin on a building site. The 2nd half of the motel was still being renovated and I assume these cabins are used by the tradesmen. The bed was clean enough but the cabin had just been trucked in from an outback mine and was basic & mouldy and didn't have motel room facilities. I'm not expecting luxury in a crisis but there was no way this room was superior to my original waterside location so being charged the full amount by the original property is an insult. If they had any ethics they would have made the room complimentary and refunded my money in full. Disgusted.
Chris
The location of the pub and the beer garden area is beautiful, You can sit in a day bed by the river. The food and service was excellent. However the accommodation is very run down in desperate need of a face lift, there is no privacy when using the bathroom, there appeared to be a punch hole in the front door from a previous incident. There was loose wall panels within the room, i had booked 2 rooms but only 1 parking spot available as there was large trailer parked outsude our room. The carpark is full of pot holes. This was my last night of week away and was more expensive than all other accommodation the previous week.
Wendy
