Taree Motor Inn: Your Aussie Paradise Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because we’re diving headfirst into the Taree Motor Inn! "Your Aussie Paradise Awaits!"… well, let's see if that's really the case, shall we? I'm a sucker for a good road trip, and this place is right on the Newell Highway, making it a tempting pitstop. So, here's the lowdown, the good, the bad, the potentially-slightly-ugly-but-mostly-lovable of this Aussie motel gem.
First Impressions & Accessibility: Can I Actually Get There?
Alright, let's be real, accessibility is HUGE. No one wants a holiday ruined before it even begins. Accessibility seems… okay. Elevator is a definite plus, meaning no lugging suitcases up stairs (thank GOD!). Facilities for disabled guests are listed – hopefully that means more than just a ramp at the front door. I’m mentally picturing wide doorways and accessible bathrooms; more details would be perfect. Car park [on-site] and Car park [free of charge] is a huge tick, especially for a road trip. And the Car power charging station? Smart! Getting ahead of the curve, Taree Motor Inn! (Though, who actually uses those yet?) Check-in/out [express] and Contactless check-in/out are brilliant. Less faffing about, more relaxation.
Internet: Gotta Stay Connected (Even on Holiday!)
Okay, so the big sell is Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! and also Internet access – wireless. Phew. Thank goodness. I need my Instagram. No, seriously, I need to keep up with work, y'know? Internet [LAN]? Old school, baby! Might be good for the serious gamers. Wi-Fi in public areas is a given these days, you'd think, but you'd be surprised!
Cleanliness and Safety: Is It Actually Safe To Sleep There?
Let's cut the crap. After the last few years, clean is king. The Cleanliness and safety protocols are crucial. I'm seeing Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, and Rooms sanitized between stays. Okay, that's a good start. Hand sanitizer? Yep, expect that everywhere. Staff trained in safety protocol is what you hope for, always. First aid kit, Doctor/nurse on call are reassuring. Hygiene certification would be a massive plus, and something to look out for. The Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, Fire extinguisher and Smoke alarms… all good things to have, and make you feel just a little bit more secure, don't they?
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Fun!
Alright, food. This is where things could get interesting. Restaurants, plural? Intriguing. I haven’t seen specifics - so, let’s keep our fingers crossed. A la carte in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant. Coffee/tea in restaurant is a non-negotiable for yours truly. Snack bar, Poolside bar… sounds idyllic. Bar, Happy Hour. Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast in room, Breakfast takeaway service, Asian breakfast, Western breakfast … plenty of choices. Please let the coffee be decent.
Rooms & Amenities: The Nitty Gritty
Okay, the rooms. This is where the magic (or potential disappointment) happens. Air conditioning, YES! Air conditioning in public area, also YES. Non-smoking rooms – yay! (Nobody wants to smell stale cigarettes!) Additional toilet, Additional toilet, Additional toilet… okay, maybe not, but imagine! A Additional toilet and a good view? I'm in! The Blackout curtains are a game changer. Gotta sleep in after all that road tripping. Bathtub? Lovely. Separate shower/bathtub? Even better. Free bottled water, YES! Coffee/tea maker, another YES. A Minibar for emergency chocolate. And a Refrigerator to keep those sneaky beverages cold. Wake-up service is essential but I always set my own alarm anyway, so it's a backup. Then there's the Ironing facilities – a lifesaver after being squashed in a car all day. Satellite/cable channels are the norm but, c’mon, let’s get to the point: does it have a decent streaming service?! The Wi-Fi [free] should be great, but what’s the experience? And finally, a Window that opens? So I can have the air? Can I get a view? A balcony, even? Now we're talking!
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Beyond the Room
This is potentially where the "Paradise" part comes in. If, and that's a big IF, they have a good pool… Swimming pool and Swimming pool [outdoor]. Double score! Pool with view? Now we’re really talking. I need a pool! Gym/fitness, Fitness center – great for burning off all those buffet calories. Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom. (I might just spend my whole time here!) Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap … now we’re verging on luxury. Foot bath? Okay, I’m intrigued.
Services and Conveniences: The Perks of Being Lazy
Okay, even on a road trip, you need the good stuff. Air conditioning in public area, ATM/cash withdrawal, Concierge (good for the lazy among us!), Currency Exchange (essential for us international travellers!), Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests (again, good to know), Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Smoking area. And the ultimate in laziness? Room service [24-hour].
Getting Around
Airport transfer is an obvious plus. Car park [free of charge], Bicycle parking, and Taxi service are all good, but the real winner is having Car park [on-site].
For the Kids
I do not have kids but shoutout to anyone who needs a Babysitting service, Kids facilities, Kids meal.
The Verdict
Look, Taree Motor Inn sounds promising. It seems to tick all the boxes. But until I actually get there, experience the cleanliness, the vibe, the food, the views… I can't give it a definitive thumbs up.
Honestly, I need to book that room and find out for myself.

Riversoul Boutique Cambodia: Find Your Perfect Cambodian Style
Okay, buckle up buttercup, because this ain't your grandma's meticulously planned itinerary. We're throwing that thing out the window, grabbing a handful of coffee, and diving headfirst into a REAL trip to Taree Motor Inn, Australia. Fair warning: things might get a little… rambly.
Taree - The Great Aussie Adventure (Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Rusty Ute)
Day 1: Arrival & The Great Motel Room Reveal
- Time: Afternoon (Somewhere between a delayed flight and a desperate need for caffeine)
- Event: Arrive at Taree (Probably disheveled, thanks to the aforementioned flight). The drive from… well, wherever I'm coming from… was already a saga. Let's just say GPS lady has a terrible sense of humour when you take a "shortcut" down a gravel road.
- Expectation: Gaze upon the majestic Taree Motor Inn, a beacon of hope on a dusty highway. Picture a clean, air-conditioned haven. Maybe a little pool? Pure, unadulterated relaxation.
- Reality: Pull up to the Taree Motor Inn. Now. Okay, the sign looks like it hasn't been repainted since the '70s, but hey, it's got character, right? Grab the keys.
- The Room: Ugh. The room… Well, let's just say the air conditioning sounds like a disgruntled lawnmower. The floral wallpaper is… intense. And the faint whiff of stale cigarettes? Adds to the ambiance. (Or maybe it's just me. I'm a bit sensitive.) But, hey, clean sheets! And a TV that might work.
- Emotional Reaction: Mild panic. Followed by grudging acceptance. "It's all part of the experience!" I tell myself, plastering a fake smile on my face. Deep down though, I just want a cold beer and a decent shower.
- Minor categories:
- Check-in process: Hopefully, the check-in staff aren't too grumpy. (Secretly hoping for a chatty Aussie; I've been practicing my accent.)
- Essentials check: Did I remember my toothbrush? (Always a question, apparently).
Day 2: The Manning River Meander & Kangaroo Catastrophe
- Time: Early morning (Because I'm trying to be "adventurous" and beat the heat)
- Event: Try and get excited for a nice walk by the Manning River, hoping to see the lovely view and getting to learn the local culture.
- Expectation: Crisp morning air (if I'm lucky), a stunning view of the river, and possibly a glimpse of some native wildlife. Maybe even a cute little kookaburra or two.
- Reality: The river is pretty, in a rugged, kind of untamed way. The air is… humid. I'm sweating already. And the cute wildlife? Forget it.
- The Kangaroo Incident: So, there I was, admiring the (admittedly) beautiful river, when BAM! A kangaroo, HUGE, leaps out of the bushes. I nearly jump out of my skin! The damn thing stared at me for a LONG time before hopping off.
- Emotional Reaction: A mix of terror and excitement. "Did that really happen?" I whisper to myself, heart still pounding like a drum solo. I have to laugh somewhere in between all the emotions.
- Minor categories:
- Breakfast: Contemplating the questionable offerings from the motel's continental breakfast. Cereal? Toast? Run for the hills!
- Local Insight: Attempting to understand what the locals consider “cool” by observing people.
Day 3: A Town Stroll and a Pub Lunch (The Aftermath of the Pool)"
- Time: Late morning
- Event: Aimlessly wander around town and get to know the place, followed by a pub lunch.
- Expectation: A quaint, charming town with friendly locals. A delicious pub lunch to replenish my energy.
- Reality: Ahhh, Taree's town. The shop fronts are cute, in a way, but everything smells of… well, I'm not sure. The pub lunch?
- Pub Lunch: The pub was great! The staff were lovely. The pub food? Well, let's just say it was… hearty. I mean, the burger was bigger than my head. I spent the entire meal trying not to choke on the overcooked patty. The beer, however, was cold.
- Emotional Reaction: "Should've gone for the salad".
- Minor categories:
- People Watching: Observing the friendly locals and trying to decipher the Aussie lingo. (Still struggling with "G'day, mate.")
- The Pool: Someone went to the pool and, unfortunately, was never heard from again
Day 4: The Great Escape (Goodbye, Taree!)
- Time: Morning (As early as humanly possible)
- Event: Pack up, check out, and hit the road!
- Expectation: A speedy, hassle-free departure.
- Reality: The Great Escape. Let’s just say my departure was filled with forgotten belongings and forgotten memories. However, with a final look at the Taree Motor Inn, I feel a strange pang of… nostalgia? Perhaps it was the shared experiences, the laughter and the mishaps.
- The Car Trouble: Got to the car, packed everything in, realized I lost my keys. Of course. Spent 30 minutes retracing my steps, sweating, and muttering under my breath. Finally found them in the vending machine room.
- Emotional Reaction: A mix of relief and a strange affection towards the place. Goodbye, Taree! I'll never forget you, no matter how hard I try.
- Minor categories:
- Souvenir shopping: Finding a tacky souvenir, or not.
- The last meal: One last look at the local cafe and a sigh of content.
Post-Taree Reflection:
Well, that was a trip and a half. Did everything go according to plan? Absolutely not. Did I lose it at times? Maybe. But did I have an adventure? Hell yeah. And that, my friends, is what counts.

Taree Motor Inn: Your Aussie Paradise... Maybe? (A Guide for the Clueless)
Okay, so… what *is* the Taree Motor Inn, exactly? Is it heaven on earth? (Asking for a friend… who might be me.)
Alright, settle down, glitterati. Heaven on earth? Probably a *slight* exaggeration. The Taree Motor Inn is… well, it's a classic Aussie motor inn. Think roadside motels, comfortable enough beds, and the faint aroma of chlorine from the pool (which, let's be honest, is more of an *ambiance* than a perk sometimes – that water can be COLD). It's in Taree, NSW, smack-bang in the middle of things, if you're into exploring the Manning Valley. It's a place. It exists. And sometimes, that's enough, right?
I remember once, arriving after a *phenomenal* drive. Sun setting, all golden and whatnot. Got checked in by this bloke in a faded Hawaiian shirt. He looked like he'd seen a few things. "Mate," he said, drawling, "you've come to the right place. Cold beers and warm showers. That's the promise." He wasn't *wrong*. But I wouldn't exactly call it a tagline.
What's the food situation like? Is it all deep-fried everything, or are there, like, *options*?
Ah, the eternal question! Look, let's be real. You're not coming to the Taree Motor Inn for Michelin-star cuisine. But, the food? It’s… edible. There's usually a restaurant or a bistro attached (sometimes it feels a little like you're entering a time warp from the 80s, charm that is, of course). Think pub fare: schnitzel, burgers, maybe a curry night if you're lucky. Don’t expect haute cuisine. Expect… sustenance.
One time, I ordered the chicken parmigiana. Thing was, colossal! Way bigger than any human needs. And the chips? Oh, the chips were *glorious*. So crispy. So salty. I should've stopped eating after the first, but no, I went and ate the whole darn thing. Spent the next afternoon swimming it off! I recommend it, if only for the drama.
Is there a pool? Because if there's no pool, I'm out. (Gotta get my vitamin D fix, you know?)
Yes! There's usually a pool! (Unless it's broken. It happens.) It's often a bit… utilitarian. Fine and great for a dip, that's the truth of it. Don't expect waterfalls or swim-up bars. Do expect… chlorinated water. And the potential for kids running amok. But hey, that's part of the charm, yeah?
Remember the time I took a book down to the pool, thinking, "Ah, peace and quiet"? Wrong. Turns out, there was a *whole* family of kids having a water gun fight right next to me. Splashing, screaming, pure chaos. I mean, good for them, their childhood, but my serene reading time? Shattered. Still, the sun felt good.
What about the rooms? Are they… clean? (I have high standards, okay?!)
“Clean” is relative, isn’t it? Look, the rooms are generally… *fine*. They're cleaned. The beds are usually made. Expect a bit of wear and tear, a slight air of "seen a few guests in its time". But, if you're not expecting a luxury hotel, you probably won't be disappointed. And, honestly, the beds are usually pretty comfortable.
Once, the shower head *leaked*. I mean, it really *leaked*. It was like a mini-waterfall in the bathroom. I called reception, the lovely chap came up and took a look, and fixed it in about five minutes, as if it were a casual Friday afternoon. It wasn't perfect, but it was *good*. And that's the Aussie way, isn't it?
Is there Wi-Fi? Because, you know, gotta stay connected to the world. (And stalk my ex.)
Yes, there’s usually Wi-Fi. And it's usually… functional. Don't expect super-speed broadband. It might be a bit patchy. You might have to stand near the reception to get a decent signal. But hey, it forces you to disconnect, look around, and maybe, just maybe, actually talk to the person you're with, huh? (Or, y'know, stalk your ex more effectively in the lobby. No judgement.)
On a recent trip, I needed to call my friend and send work emails. The connection, sheesh, it was like getting a message from the early 90s. Still, it allowed for some much needed, uninterrupted social time outside the hotel room! Bonus!
What's the parking like? Because I drive a… large vehicle. (Don't judge.)
Parking is usually fine. Lots of motor inns have ample parking. You'll probably be fine. Even if you drive a truck. Or a monster truck, I guess. I mean, probably. Don't quote me on the monster truck, though. Okay?
Frankly, I've never really noticed the parking situation. I'm usually too busy trying to locate my room after wandering aimlessly with my bags, to pay too much attention. Just get in there, find a spot, and enjoy your holiday!
Is it kid-friendly? (I have a small army.)
Generally, yes! Motor Inns usually are kid-friendly. Expect the usual suspects: high chairs, cots, maybe even a small playground. But check with the specific Inn to confirm. And be warned: pools + unsupervised kids = potential chaos. Pack extra earplugs.
I once saw a kid drop a giant ice cream cone *directly* in the pool. The wails of disappointment were epic. The parents looked mortified. The other guests just… watched. It was a whole scene. Just... be prepared for anything!
So... should I go? Is it worth it? Is it a *magical* experience?
Look, "magical" is a strong word. But the Taree Motor Inn (and places like it) can be a good time. It's not a luxury resort. It's not a palace. But it's comfortable, it's usually clean enough, and it's perfectly positioned for exploring the area. If you set your expectations appropriately and embrace the whole "Aussie motor inn" vibe - you'll probably enjoy it. Just... don't expect miracles. Or flawless service. Or, you know, perfection. Just… go with the flow.
Honestly, the Taree Motor Inn experience is whatStay Collective
