It might be a small coutry town but I prefer to drive past Dubbo just to get to the Cooee. As "Cooee" is a bushmans call, this place is my call on the way to Brisbane. Parking for all sized vehicles and just off the main Newell Highway. I often arrive very late and note that the split system aircon... More

Each year a group of us head south from Qld and meet up at the Cooee Motel; this year five in two cars, far fewer than normal. Rooms are good, management friendly, extensive gardens in front of the motel give a laid back ambiance while the trucks rumble by on the highway some distance across the lawns. This year we... More

We have travel throughout Australia and stayed at many 5 star hotels but none of them have matched the cleanliness of the Cooee at Gilgandra. It is a 3 1/2 but much far superior to other hotels of this rating. Hats of to the owners!

Well, what can I say, this is one of THE best Motels I have stayed in, especially along the Newell Highway. It is spectacularly clean, beds are very, very, comfy, even the pillows are great, no morning headaches from a hard pillow!!! Bathroom is really lovely, shower is great, plenty of hot water. The night meals, served in room, are... More

We stayed here on a road trip from Melbourne to Noosa. It seems to be better than most of the motels in Gilgandra. The rooms here are a good size, with decent beds, bathrooms and a large TV with some Austar channels. The setting is very pleasant with a park at the front, and although it is on the Newell... More

My wife and I were worn out when we hit Gilgandra and pulled into the motel . The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and before long we were in our room settling for the night. Room was very spacious and and had a large bathroom with an excellent shower, although you had to wait just a little for hot... More

I booked for 1 night and stayed for 2, a big clean room, nice new digital TV, park at the door and under cover, well maintained gardens out the front, and the mixed grill . . . The meals are ample, just don't have breakfast and lunch as well. Could easily charge more for the room and still be good... More

The cooee motel Is an excellent place for anyone. The beds were terrific and the room was so clean you could lick the floor. The location would be the only downfall as it was not right in town but it didn't matter as much because of the wonderful b&b facilities.

Quite possibly not the least expensive motel in Gilgandra, there are a number to choose from, however the Cooee offers superior vista from font doors of the rooms. Staff are extremely pleasant and easy to talk with and the home cooked meals which are delivered to your room provide reasonable variety and excellent value.

My wife and I arrived at The Cooee Motel tired and cranky. The Hosts, Tony and Lois's wonderful welcoming personalities immediate put us on side with them and their establishment. Everything about the place, was just right, the large expansive gardens to the clean and comfortable rooms. We were offered a dinner menu and this caused me to assume that... More
