Good place to stay for a night to break up a long trip. Room is basic but comfortable. The rooms offer great views of the river. The the restaurant offers a great Chinese menu and the food was delicious with the added bonus of the river views.

Well. It served a purpose to break up a road trip however pretty ordinary set up. We had the family room… it’s old and dated. Bathroom light flickered constantly like a horror film so we couldn’t use at all and the bugs coming out from under the beds and other places were quickly eliminated by the complimentary bottle of Mortein. My daughter was awake all night wondering where the next creepy crawly would emerge from. Look - the sheets and beds were at least clean and the TV worked so we got through. Don’t expect too much!!

A very pleasant and affordable place to stay in Kempsey. Nicely positioned off the main road so no real traffic noise and beautiful views over the river out the back of the unit.
