We have a stayed in a few motels & hotels in Australia, this has to be the best so far. The owners (very friendly) have years of experience working all over the world which really shows, (you could compare the service to a 5 star hotel). The price is reasonable, but trust me you really get value for money. Breakfast... More

From the moment we arrived, we have had the very best stay. Hospitality and welcoming par excellence! We drew up at Reception and the door was opened to welcome us in. The proprietors could not do more for us during our stay to make us feel comfortable. We really liked being served dinner in our room - we selected our... More

A surprise and highlight of my winetasting adventure in Hunter Valley was the Cessnock Motel. When a friend suggested that it was THE place to stay in the Cessnock area, I cautiously agreed to give it a try [remembering some bad experiences and the unevenness of motels in the United States]. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised to find a gem.... More

A wonderful place to stay! We had a double room for my parents as well as a double room for myself and my girlfriend. Both rooms were immaculately clean, spacious enough and cosy. Air conditioners worked well and Celeste went to great lengths to explain that if we needed anything at all she would accommodate. Breakfast was freshly prepared and... More

Cessnock Motel is a great little complex located really close to the wineries in the Hunter Valley. The apartment was very clean with modern furnishings and bathroom. Great shower! The only issue I had with the room was how dark it was - the windows didn't seem to let in much light. Service here is extremely friendly and helpful, booking... More

The hotel is clean and new, but some of the rooms are FAR too small. There is nowhere to put your bags and you can't even walk around the bed easily. In the bathroom you have to turn around on the spot because it is small.

Stayed at Cessnock Motel - very different to the Internet photos - rooms look large but in reality are very small - the cost is expensive - you do not get value for money - breakfast was small only one piece of toast and sausages were so tiny you had to search for them
