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!
