It’s not a new property but it was so clean ❤️ Staff was helpful. Amenities were more than we expected, such as toaster.

Location couldn't have been better, a stone's throw away from the harbour with all restaurants along the coast. Right in the heart of the central street with Woolworths being a 2 minute walk away. We didn't eat at the connecting restaurant but it looked amazing. Perfect for Koala sanctuary too !

First of all we had a cancellation because of delayed Flight, and it was no Problem to Change the booking just two days. We got perfect ideas for dining and fresh milk for free, our daughter was happy, she needs her warm milk in the morning. Room are clean, we had a queensize, a Single and an aditional sleep Sofa. Kitchenette was good. Unfortunately we had not the time to try the really beautyful Pool. The City around is quite pretty, harbour looks nice. Recommended, will come back

Beautiful clean and quiet motel in Tea Gardens. Lovely friendly staff who gave great recommendations for dinner. Beautiful little walk down to the water and along to some great cafes and bakeries. A great little find in a beautiful area.

The motel was exceptional. It was extremely clean and the owner was very friendly. Parking was just outside our room. It was quiet and we slept well.

All motels in Nelson Bay

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    The friendliness and it was very organized. The motel parking was very accessible, we found it straight away at night. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were very warm in the middle of winter. The soap and shampoo and amenities were very nice also.

    The location of this hotel/motel was fabulous. Pareking was easy and the hotel is an easy walk down the hill to part of shoal bay - so you dont have to battle parking in peek times. The hotel is slightly isolated from shops and other things going on - so you may need to buckly up as you will need to battle out for parking at some stage during yoru stay

    We had craft retreat but accommodation was not suitable so we booked to stay at the Central motel. It was a great position enough beds to suit us and facilities were great, and the staff were lovely. Will be back to stay again.

    The location was excellent. The property was clean and comfortable, it is an older style motel. Fine for a one night stay.
