A Railway Lodge

Taree

I didn't expect too much and I wasn't disappointed. The Lodge was picked because of its proximity to Taree Railway Station and one companions mobility issue (who didn't ultimately travel).
Very, very basic accommodation in a small room. I think there may have been WiFi but there was nothing to indicate other than a scribbled note stuck on the door that may have been the password.
The place was clean and the management helpful.
It needs some work and could be pretty good but it needs some money sunk in and a grand view to realise its potential.

Very Average

I'm a single female and I always feel safe staying here. You can park your car right at your door and there are no steps to climb. Checking in is easy, the rooms and facilities are very clean and comfortable.
The motel is conveniently located only minutes away from a large selection of restaurants & take-aways. I always get a good nights sleep and in the morning, I use the microwave to make a quick breakfast. I will definitely be back.

Clean, Comfortable and Excellent Value.

Had a great stay and room was clean.  Court yard was lovely and inviting.  I was travelling by myself and felt safe and was very comfortable at this motel. Had lunch as te check in, which was easy to do. Will be back

Great stay

Last minute trip up the coast and got the last bed in Taree it seemed. Kate was lovely. The room was clean, a comfy bed, crisp sheets, fluffy towels and excellent toilet paper. Thanks for having us. Happy Days.

A Bargain

This is my go to place to stay when travelling to and from Gold Coast 
Always clean, great service. Perfect for overnight stay
Value for money. 
Easy access
Taree has lots of options for meals and things to do

Checking in is hassle free, very straightforward. Lovely and very accommodating manager, Sonny. Stayed in a family room, adequate space for family of 4, has a veranda to sit and relax, and very convenient to grab your stuff from car as you can park just infront of your room.  Everything you need in an overnight stay  / stop over, room was clean and supplied with essentials you need. The motel has bits and pieces of train history and has a vintage vibe in every corner, the place is a bit dated but well kept and maintained. Would definitely go back again.

Cheap and Pleasant Stay

My mum and I stayed there this week for 3 nights, it is a terrible place to stay and we wouldn't ever go back. The rooms were grotty, there was no toaster, no hairdryer, no welcome information pack, no glasses, the fridge was turned off, there was half a roll of toilet paper, frayed towels and the guy got annoyed when we asked for fresh towels the next day. The TV stopped working on the last night we were there as did the hot water system, so hence no body got a hot shower. There was no mirror in our room and no wardrobe to hang any clothes. It poured rain and there were leaks everywhere. Definitely not worth $100a night and we would have left had we not paid in advance. There was no breakfast available whatsoever. And the entire time we were the the room was not cleaned or any rubbish taken away. We had to empty the rubbish ourselves. The only recommendation I'd give anyone is find a better motel.

Terrible

Weekend away with partner and our old, tiny dog. Saw motel advertised as pet friendly. On calling,  told we could have our dog in the room if upgraded to a family room, to keep away from other rooms in case he was loud through the night. There were no other guests cars,  heard one other person the entire day. Felt scammed out of the extra $30.

Only two mugs for drinks, long-life milk provided was 4 weeks out of date, and when we asked for more, was given a handful that was the same expiry.

Bathroom small, no shelf or hanging room. Toilet has no lid, major hygiene issue. 

Double bed was extremely uncomfortable.

Free Wi-fi advertised, but could not get a strong enough signal, perhaps due to being put in the far corner of the motel. 

Only good thing was that at least the room was clean.

Overpriced, small, underfacilitated family room.

Bed was very uncomfortable.    
Outside eave was falling down.  Visible from bathroom window.   
Felt scammed out of the extra money for a family room, that we were told we had to have in order to have our dog with us.   
I did a google search of pet friendly motels in Taree, this was on the list.  
Our dog is 15, and is very quiet& tiny. Took his box, which he only left on his lead when I took him to the toilet outside the fenceline of the Motel   
I had a cup of tea, then discovered the milk left for use was a month out of date.   I asked the Sunday manager for more milk, and it was also a month out of date. 
When asking for the milk, I noticed a film of dust on the coffee machine in the reception area, and the whole place looked neglected. 
Covid 19  cleaning procedures were clearly not adhered to. 
I won’t be hurrying back.

Nothings changed since it was a barracks.

Easy check in. We were upgraded (free of charge) to a larger room which included a couch, mini fridge, air con and microwave. Very clean bathroom. Firm bed with great sheets. The motel is away from a main road but does back onto a rail line. We only heard one train in the afternoon and none at night. Would recommend for someone looking for budget accommodation.
