"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.

Firstly the staff were welcoming, friendly, quick easy check in and out and very informative.
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!
Everything is in the room fridge, toaster etc.

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

With Covid 19 we couldn’t access the restaurant (limited tables) but the room service was excellent and I defy anyone to not enjoy the beautiful food. Motel was extremely clean & very comfortable. Would stay there again.

Spacious, clean and very comfortable unfortunately the much vaunted Wifi did not work on an otherwise excellent stay. Given so many guests were taking part in an early morning bike ride some flexibility over breakfast would have been appreciated and smart.

Clean, quiet, large room. Great shower- hot with plenty of water pressure. Locked area to park car. Pleasant staff. Perfect for overnight stay. Thanks.
