“Relief at the end of a long long drive”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2009

What a fabulous place to stay. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that we would come across such a warm welcoming oasis in out back and I mean outback NSW.
Elle & Gary are wonderful host and made us feel like family. The rooms are spaciouse and well set up and the pillows are sooooo comfortable. Everything was great after such a long drive in the car. We felt well rested for the journey ahead.
Ohh by the way make sure you take the time to visit Hayven.... a wonderful little shop attached to the motel its full of fantastic little trinkets and great clothing for the ladies. I may even make a special trip to Hay just to do a little shopping once again.

“Clean, new, central, cheap”

person found this review helpful

A country town stay that ticks all the boxes. New comfy rooms, free wifi, right across the road from a supermarket, well priced.

Country town motels can be hit and miss, this one is definitely a hit.

“Excellent Motel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2009

I have travelled the world on business and stayed in many places, cities and country regions and without doubt the Saltbush is the best Motel in any country region i have had the pleasure of stying in. The rooms are large and the decor is 4 star. Very clean and beautifully presented rooms.
The beds are excellent and the rooms are extremely quiet. The wireless broadband is free and fast.! The staff were very helpfull and you can walk to all the Cafes and Hotels.
When next in Hay, I will be staying at the Saltbush Motor Inn.
Thankyou Saltbush.

“Paper thin walls”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2009

Whilst this motel is lovely and new, the problem was the noise. The walls were paper thin to the point that I could hear it when the person in the next room blew their nose! Consequently, sleep was lacking which was dangerous given the distance I was driving the next day.

Gary Harris, Owner at Saltbush Motor Inn, responded to this review

This Guest mentioned that she was a very light/poor sleeper. We asked her the next morning and she had a good sleep.

The walls are far from paper thin, all the rooms a insulated to the latest building requiements. We have been open not quite 4 years and never had a quest say that the walls were thin, not even with babies in the next room.

After 17,345 guests we are VERY suprised to have recieved this feedback.

We will in future provide light/poor sleepers are extra quiet room towards the rear of the Motel.

“Nice newly refurbished hotel !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2009

It is nice to stop and stay in a clean new room with good amenities. The room are not very big (but neither too small) and have been newly refurbished. This was a really good surprise on the road to stop for the night ... Everything was really clean, staff was nice and the bedding was good ...

We did not try the bistro they advised to us but when walking by, it was full of people which is always a good sign.

We just stayed one night but we really like the cosy feeling of the hotel.
