For a small country town was a good room and place to rest overnight during the drive. Staff and owner were very welcoming. Was a short distance from the local pub which we had for dinner. Bathroom was modern.

Quiet place away from the main street and Sturt Highway. Great WiFi, clean, comfortable, good constant hot water, and nice beds. The only drawback is it's a bit of a drive, or a very long walk, up the main street to get food. I've stayed in just about every motel in Hay over the years and I think this is now my go to spot.

This is a lovely motel, set back away from the main road and very spacious rooms. It is within walking distance of town and shops. There is a very good Bowling Club across the road and a Services Club one block down. It is a very good motel for a stop-0ver.
