Top Macleay Valley Hotel Reviews

Stoney Park

10/10 Excellent

"This is the 3rd time I’ve brought my family here and it’s always a wonderful stay. So easy to get around and the aqua park is awesome. Can’t wait for next years trip!"

City Centre Motel

8/10 Good

"My biggest complaint is to Hotels.com and not the Kempsey City Center. I made the reservation and paid about six weeks in advance using the Hotels.com app. But the app never showed the reservation. Luckily I had copied the itinerary # so had that. On the day of checkin I tried to find it, couldn’t and no one else on Hotels.com could either. Fortunately when we arrived the hotel did indeed have our paid ressie so Hotels.com wasted much of my time plus worry and frustration over a ressie that YOU couldn’t find. The hotel was a tad noisy. They only had instant coffee. They have Netflix but the previous guest didn’t sign out and it took an hour to resolve. They say they had continental breakfast but it wasn’t clear that you had to order it the night before to be delivered to your room."

Park Drive Motel

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived at 4am and were soo exhausted with 2 small kids. We knew check out time was 10am but again we were exhausted and called to see if we could check out later. The man was soo nice and let us check out later. We were really pleased thank you soo much"

Colonial Court Motor Inn

8/10 Good

"Conveniently located riverside property. Very quiet and pleasant. A welcome stay on our journey."

Billy Goat Cottage – Peaceful Country Escape Near Crescent Head

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location for handy access to CH and Kempsey, lots of space, friendly hosts, stunning setting.well equipped cottage, comfortable beds, quiet location with lots of wildlife. Thanks Leah!"

Coast & Country Cabin 4

10/10 Excellent

"This location is stunning. Surrounded by a river, pond, green paddocks and mountains in the distance. Apparently, though I missed it there is a pod of dolphins that swim by at 5.30 in the morning. I sat and reflecte on the verandah and was very comfortable in the cabin. Not a fishing person, but toured conveniently to South west rocks, hat head and crescent head. Met up with friends in Kempsey. I recommend it for all nature lovers."

Crescent Head Beach House

8/10 Good

"House was very cute and clean. Nicely decorated. Bit of a musty smell but wasn’t too bothersome. Location good but we were unable to use off street parking. Our SUV was too big. Thought house exterior looked different in listing but all interior spaces were same as photos in listing."

Crescent Head Holiday Park

8/10 Good

"My husband and I love Crescent Head and the location of the caravan park and have stayed there many times.I booked a Lakeside cabin with queen bed and double bed for two nights but our cabin had adouble bed and triple bunks. We accepted the booking because it was only two nights and we were meeting up with friends but because we are older and I have mobility issues we did not sleep well and the shower had no pressure and barely warm. Time for an upgrade."

Salt at South West Rocks

10/10 Excellent

"Our favourite place to stay in SWR!"
