"We stayed here when it was the Goldfields Motor Inn and found it pretty ordinary, to say the least. Under new management and with a new name, it’s a complete turnaround.
The rooms have been fully renovated, and ours was excellent. It still had that new-carpet smell, the bathroom was great, and there was a big wall-mounted TV and a very comfy bed. The staff were easy to reach, genuinely friendly and happy to help.
We’d happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Blayney."

This suited us well. We had 2 little dogs and needed a pet friendly place. The room was thoughtfully presented with a bed, water bowl in consideration of our pet. The place was very clean and fresh.

The room was exactly like the photos, very modern, enough room for a quick stay and easy to maintain with room service daily. Warm n cosy for the winter weekend stays!

Travelled to Bathurst for a concert which had been cancelled at the last minute but stayed anyway. The motel was within pleasant walking to the city centre and eateries. The staff were great.

The two bedroom unit is perfect for any family small or large. Perfectly clean, spacious and comfortable with attentive staff. Only complaint was a 9pm phone call to my mobile during the stay from staff regarding a bad review she thought i had posted ( I didn't) which perhaps could have waited till checkout to discuss.
Other than that it was a lovely stay. I have already recommended it to friends and family
