Hotels near Moree Airport - MRZ, Moree

Too many faults to mention. Sleeping in my car at the tip would have been a better option. Security didn’t work. Inside and out was putrid. What was to be a pleasant break of our journey turned out to a nightmare.

We crossed the Queensland border at Goondiwindi after checking out the slow flowing Macintyre River, the flood memorials and the great little Art Deco Council Chambers. The 1.5 hour sunset drive to Moree across the plains was stunning. In Moree a free courtesy bus collected us from the Spa Village Travel Inn to drop us at the local RSL for a country style dinner. The place was full! Next morning he mineral baths were only a 5 minute walk away, also very popular. Recommended for a great espresso and breakfast: Balo 61 across town. If architecture is your thing, Moree has several Art Deco and Victorian gems to discover. Also, don't miss out on the Bank Art Museum which has its own collection as well as visiting shows. If you happen to be there on the ANZAC Day weekend its also time for the local Rural Show.

I loved the aboriginal art. I found the people I was in contact with very welcoming and friendly especially Lizzie one of the Art teachers at the TAFE who introduced me to some art students and opened up the art room where some of the students work was on display.

Artesian aquatic centre was a big disappointment. The 2 main pools have been closed for maintenance for quite a while. The pool that is available was packed with people. The council needs to fix this, as the baths are the main attraction for this town

The staff were welcoming, pleasant and helpful. The room was spacious though a little tired. We were directed to the spa baths by the manager and found them excellent. The facility provided plenty of room for guests. We enjoyed our stay and recommended friends to stay there as well.

I stopped for two nights during winter specifically to visit the Artesian Pool. There are several in the town. The Spa Village Motel was boundary fenced with gates that were closed for the night. It is a town I will go back to & stay longer to see more.
