Recent Reviews in Explorer Country

Cattleman's Country Motor Inn & Serviced Apartments

8/10 Good

"Our room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was great value. The only negatives are the tight haphazard parking, and patrons have to play pot luck, never knowing where they will need to park upon returning to the Motel. The area out front of our room was undercover and made for a noisy and disturbed sleep."

Hotel Canobolas

8/10 Good

"It's a charming, art deco hotel built just before WW2. Location in the centre of town is excellent although parking was limited. Luckily there was a free all day council park just close by. It would have been useful to know this information before we arrived. The restaurant was excellent and we enjoyed using the voucher we were given on arrival for a free drink and 10% off one of the meals."
