Very nice place that we chose to stay at on our way to Adelaide. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms have been nicely renovated. Pool was very refreshing in the 46 degree heat we had! Would recommend staying here to break up your road trip. Or if you were having an extended stay in Hay

Loved the Saltbush Motor Inn from the moment I checked in; easy to find, good location, staff were friendly and helpful, plenty of parking. Our room was beautiful. Plenty of space for the family, with privacy when needed. Comfy beds, very clean, up-to-date appliances and bathroom. Option to make simple meals in the room, or choices for eating in the town or supermarket close by.

If I’m passing through Hay this would always be my first choice for accommodation. On this trip I stayed twice in two weeks (one night on the way from Sydney to Adelaide and again for one night on my way back home). It is central, comfortable, quiet and clean, the rooms are spacious and the welcome is always friendly. I also think it is good value. Highly recommend!

The owners were great and easy to talk to. The room was immaculate and very well presented. The water pressure was amazing. Dining options were within a stones throw for distance and all great. The local bread shop on the next corner is definitely the place to go to for brekky. The locals eat there so you know its good, in which we also could not fault. A great place to stay and definitely recommend.
