Always the best place to stay on our trips through from Sydney to qld. We have a large vehicle, plenty of room for trucks and trailers out front!

Overall a very nice place to stay. It was clean and comfortable. Shower was awesome Instant hot water. Although the hand basin was a tad on the small side. But again overall the bathroom was clean We stayed there for 2 nights, which would be enough as the kitchen facilities is basic with a small fridge. Karuah is a wonderful place to visit

This place is beautiful! A great option, I love it heading north when looking for a rest stop, as you can miss the morning rush through heatherbrae and continue your drive fresh the next day!

We had booked 2 rooms for one night, and were going to book somewhere else after our day trip to Sydney. We liked the place so much we booked the second night there as well. The owners have done a superb job of renovating each room. They were clean, tidy and well sound proofed. The shower head was one of the highlights (you will see) and the bed was really comfortable. I cant fault this place.

We found this gem one night - very tired from the Pacific Highway - and 'any bed would do'. But this motel was not just 'any bed'....it was fresh, clean, beautiful little special touches like the feature walls, the mosaics, the peaceful setting - all run by a lovely old gent. The tradition has been carried on by the new management, and it is still a gem. Fresh, clean, and a retreat for a night..or two. I am a 'germophobe'...so it really means something when I say that this is one of the older motels where I am totally comfortable walking barefoot, and don't feel like I need to wear thongs in the shower. Waxing lyrical? Maybe. But only because it truly is a secret gem.
