Karuah Gardens Motel

For a budget 3 star motel, it had everything you'd expect. Comfy bed, plenty of hot water in the shower, very clean, and the room had plenty of space.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
Generous parking spaces plus an extra area for large or second vehicles.

Thank you for the exceptional ser! Despite it being after hours, I was concerned about my family, as it was their first time at this hotel. I called the manager, and even though it was 10 pm, he immediately went to check on them and ensure my kids and wife were okay. I'm truly grateful for such proactive and caring assistance.

Our stay was great. Lovely room, clean, bright and had everything we needed. Plenty of parking even with our trailer connected to the car. Easy walk to the RSL for dinner (great Chinese) or use their courtesy bus service. Book direct with the motel - its cheaper.

Stayed here last night. I received a call from management regarding my arrival time and made me feel welcome.
The room was absolutely the cleanest hotel/motel I have ever encountered. ( I travel frequently and have a thing for clean rooms ) The motel looks to have been recently renovated and all the facilities were in great shape.
It’s a tranquil and quiet location too. Last but not least, the mattress quality was top notch. So much so, I had to see the label on the mattress to replace mine at home with the same.
Definitely a gem of a place to stay. I’ll certainly stay again.

Great quiet place. Clean rooms with a very comfortable bed. Highly recommended.

We were very impressed with this Motel. Easy check-in, very pleasantly appointed, and great price.

Needed last minute accomodation with our two pups due to being overly too tired to travel our trip we had planned and we were treated with the most kindest owner who genuinely made our whole trip. Did not hesitate to takes in for the night on such short notice and the room is so comfortable and clean, highly recommend and will definitely be returning with my fur babies in the future.

Great little motel stayed one night on the way up to Port Macquarie

I was shocked when I got into the room - so new and clean which is at five star hotel standards. We were greeted even coming in a late night. especially it's our first time feel being welcome with our dog. Strongly recommended the place especially if you travel with dogs.

Very pleasant experience. We arrived around 9:30PM and were greeted by a lovely gentlemen who made us feel very welcome. The room itself was bright and cheery. The car parking spots out the front are sheltered which was nice as it was raining during our stay. It doesn’t feel like any plain old motel, but one that is loved and cared for by the owners. Would definitely stay here again.

I called in randomly in my long drive North and found this comfortable little place. The room was very tidy and well maintained and best of all, quiet. The next day I continued North and got stuck with the NSW floods so went back where Lisa told me about a multi night stay deal they have which was a huge relief when already stressed. This is a very friendly, clean, quiet and safe place to stay and relax and the price is really hard to beat.

Great little motel. Even though it's on the main road through town there is very little traffic due to the by-pas, so we had a very quiet, peaceful night's sleep. The bed was comfortable and the shower was hot with plenty of hot water. What more do you need? Excellent value for money. Don't visit if you expect a motel to have crystal decorations and original artwork on the walls. This is a good, old-fashioned family motel on the bypassed highway. This will be our go-to spot for when we head north in the future.

The hosts were lovely!
One of the cleanest motel I have stayed in!
Fantastic showers did not want to get out, quiet and quirky gardens!
Has just had a refurbishment in the rooms and they are light, airy and comfortable.
Will definitely be back.

This was the most lovely little motel we could have hoped to find. Clean, sweet decor and lovingly renovated, extremely quiet, friendly engaging staff... but best of all the bed. A beautiful comfortable mattress. I think it must have been new... no sagging, no motion when my husband moved, no springs and almost as good as our bed at home!!! I can highly recommend this place for a good night's sleep and great service. Add to that a great shower and good quality TV. 10 out of 10. Dr Louisa Poutsma

After a 10 hour drive with a 5 year old, this is a great place to spend the night. We have been here a few times over the past decade - now the rooms are nicely refurbished, great mattresses and excellent pillows, everything works, owners are lovely and helpful.

No im not rating it a 5 star, it is a 3 star motel....BUT is a great one ! By far the best 3 star motel we have stayed at. Great phone service to book our room. Room was clean and spacious. Rooms have been well maintained and simply well decorated. Shower is amazing. Highly recommend 😊

I've stayed here quite a few times and always have had a happy and welcoming experience, the owners are great and helpful, the rooms are very clean and comfortable rooms. It's in walking distance of the RSL , bottle shop and good pizza .Quiet location just off the highway

Couldn't find accomm anywhere ended up here. Thankfully they had vacancies. Was able to get a room last minute and they had not upped the price due to nearby supercars like others. Lady at front desk was super friendly. Room was very clean and well decorated. Cute outdoor garden and bikes/toys for kids. Couldn't recommend more.

Cant say 1 bad thing about our stay here myself and gf stayed here for 2 nights although the weather wasn't great it didn stop our plans, the motel itself is so relaxing great big BBQ area also lovely owner who offered a lot of options for around the area, the rooms its self and bed itself are so comfortable also the designs defenily be back.

All round great motel
