#1 of 1 motel in BrooklynLocation

A small boutique, 6 years old, motel in Brooklyn on the Hawkesbury River. We are opposite the Anglers Rest, which is a Pub with Restaurant. The motel is 200m away from the railway station, and only 300 meters from the famous "Postmans River Boat Cruise" wharf. Brooklyn is surrounded by bushland. Our motel is on the great Northern Walk and although close to Sydney, (51 km to CBD) there is a total different feel than the City Motels. Brooklyn is great place to go fishing or leave the car and take the train into the city. There is no off street parking at the motel, but because the road is a dead end, well lighted and wide, parking near the motel is normally easy. Both the railwaystation and the motel have steps and the motel is therefor not suitable for small children and/or disabled people. (No wheelchair access) We are a member of the golden chain and are a "platinum motel"

Detailed Reviews
This motel was very old fashioned but had exactly what you needed. The owner was very friendly and full of information . It was very clean, comfortable bed and lovely pillows. Bathroom had all you needed and tea & coffee facilities provided, even had a coffee plunger and good tasting ground coffee. It was within walking distance to shops and hotel across the road. We went to Mooney Mooney club for a beautiful dinner overlooking Hawkesbury River. Even a better picked up and dropped off by courtesy bus all done by just a phone call. Would highly recommend staying here if you are doing The Mail Boat Run also within walking distance. Had a great seafood lunch at fisherman’s co operative restaurant located near wharf opposite Postman Pat boat launch.

We weren't sure the Brooklyn motel actually existed when we pulled up the front. Greeted by an old weatherboard however once shown to our room we were very pleasantly surprised by the size and facilities in our room. Our room had spa bath and was very clean and well presented. Brooklyn itself was a lovely spot to take a break from our travels home and we will certainly stay at this lovely and friendly motel once again.

Normally you drive up to your motel room door but not here- there is no dedicated car space. This you would think would be off-putting but there is street parking out the front and the position of the premises and the great position right in the centre of town makes up for any perceived disadvantage.
This is a different kind of experience, very quaint, very clean and with character. Some minor repairs to door knob and a loose toilet seat fitting but it did not deter my opinion.
Brooklyn has a different feel and this Motel allows you to walk everywhere, whether it's the pub over the road, the corner coffee shop the Riverboat Postman Cruise or the Marina Restaurants.

Freezing weather and no hot water. The last time I paid good money for accommodation with no hot water was 1994. Very comfortable beds, which helped, and it’s great there were spare blankets because the heating unit was very noisy and could not have been kept on overnight.

No idea when you stayed and in which room. We just got our free (government supported) hot water systems installed and as far as we know they work fine. Regarding the heating, we have reverse cycle air cons. We also have a small 1500 watts heater in each room. No need in Sydney for electric blankets.

We spent 3 or 4 nights while doing the Great North Walk. The owners were very obliging and even let us store some stuff there a few days prior to our arrival which was very pleasing. The rooms are great, quiet and private. It is a small boutique type of place but would thoroughly recommend.

We stayed overnight to do the Riverboat Postman Sunday cruise. The hotel is as represented being quaint and authentic. Although the building is not your traditional motel layout, our room (Number 1) was spacious and well equipped. The bed was comfortable and there was adequate heating and a hot shower.
The owner has obviously gone to a lot of trouble to put in homely little touches in keeping with the style of the room.
The place is also spotlessly clean and close to the pub for meals. Obviously this means a bit of noise on a Saturday night which is to be expected and you can hear the trains so this place is not for you if you cannot cope with an interrupted sleep.
It's a short walk from the station and we arrived by train as we knew parking was an issue all over Brooklyn.

We stayed here on a return visit from a holiday. A stopover. It's great. Small, only a few rooms, but they are good. Well appointed and clean. We were a couple with one other (our disabled stepson). The benefits were the pub over the road (Anglers Rest): normal pub food, nothing flash, a bit pricey, but good. The downside is on street parking and the requirement to negotiate steps - would not suit anyone with mobility challenges or needs.
We had breakfast just up the road, which was excellent. But there was at least one other breakfast spot near by.
But we'll be back - close to railway station, and there's access to the postmans run water cruise. Highly recommended.

Hi sorry so long to respond to your review. Thanks for yr. positive comments. We enjoy hearing about satisfied customers. Yes we really care about each individual person. Just wanted to let you know we now offer breakfast in the motel. The steps outside are an issue for people with mobility issues. We usually recommend people drop off just little way up the road on flat foot path and walk the small distance to our entrance to avoid the steps. Hope we can help you next time. Regards Tom

The hotel is nicely located near Hawskbury river and across the Rd from a good pub. It is extremely noisy though! Walls are paper thin I can literally hear everything going on next door, the people talking and laughing it is so annoying. Also, the microwave and kettle do not work, I tried plugging into other plugs and still no luck. Probably wouldn't come back.

Sorry about the noise. It is a bit out of our control, but thanks for letting us know that the kettle, toaster and microwave did not work. They were all on an extension 4 plug connector that failed when too much load was applied. The problem has been fixed.

Stayed for a single night recently while travelling and while it's quiet old it was still well presented. If your looking for a flash 5 star experience you'll be disappointed, but if your after an honest simple accommodation that appears that it's probably family owned and run then this is the place to stay. Room was clean and had all the amenities you need, tea, coffee, biscuits, microwave etc along with a separate shower and a spa bath are all there, just nor overly flash. There a Pub across the road that had a very good bistro and a number of cafe's within a couple of minutes walk. Just be aware of the rather large steps at the entry and along the roadside as there's only on-street parking available.

Very quaint, cosy, almost cabin like room. Across the road from a great pub ( Good food + live band on Sundays!). Really lovely owners with amazingly great communication. Super comfortable bed! Fab water pressure in the shower. We didn't get a chance to use the spa bath, but looking forward to our next stay.

If you are travelling from Sydney go through Cowan and continue along the highway until you start winding down a fairly steep hill and at the bottom you turn right off the Pacific Highway into Brooklyn Road. If you are coming from Gosford go through Mooney Mooney then cross the bridge and turn left into Brooklyn Road. Once you are in Brooklyn Road follow it to the end.
