Darling River Motel

8/10 Good
"I was on a long drive and running late to the motel. They gave me details to open the gate and park my car and trailer. The room was ideal for my needs. I just needed sleep and to watch the World Cup game. Not happy with the result but that’s life. The stay was all I needed on my way to Wilcannia ."
