Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
The disabled shower was perfect and sleeping on the queen size bed was like sleeping at home. As I'm wheelchair reliant the large room was perfect for my electric wheelchair, to move around in and to charge. The 4 of us slept very comfortably under the air conditioning.

We were extremely impressed with the huge amounts of space in this room!! Also the facilities were really impressive. We loved the separate toilet and powder room to the fully equipped bathroom and then also the full sink in the kitchenette as well. Highly recommend.

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Spacious rooms and great carpark, a bit out of town but nice and quiet. A good halfway stop between Lake Macquarie and Melbourne. Easy to get into town for a meal at the local hotel. The shower is quite large and the shampoo, body wash and hand wash are a breeze to use.

Motel is well set out and owners and staff are very helpful to this wheelchair user. Evidently if you’re in the wheelchair, please ask staff to rick box on the form that says not to move you to another room. Bathroom is fairly large. the only problem I found was having shower doors and a slight Rise and fall for the shower.
Although the motel is close to the highway? It is not that noisy.
There is a Hungry Jack’s and a service station across the road.
The motel is in South Gundagai and would require driving to town.
Would love to stay again.

We had an overnight stay here on our way to Sydney. The lady on Reception was very friendly and explained due to staff shortages they were not serving breakfast but if we wanted breakfast they could probably due a continental breakfast for us. As we had our own things we didn't require this service. The room was very big and the beds were comfortable. There was cutlery plates and cups also a toaster and jug which was very good. Also in the cupboard was a bottle of dishwashing liquid so you could wash the dishes that you used. This motel is just across the road the Hungry Jacks and is also in walking distance of McDonald's. There is tea and coffee and milk available in the rooms. Even through this motel is just off the highway it was very quiet. Would stay at this motel again

We had a wonderful stay at the Tuckerbox Motor Inn. The convenience of stopping here on our drive from Melbourne to the Gold Coast was excellent, right off the highway, nearby to food outlets and only a short 5 minute drive to wave hello to the famous 'Dog on the Tuckerbox'. But the good things didn't stop there. The hospitality of Jenny and Mark was lovely, a true family business, one I recommend supporting. The room we stayed in was by far one of the best motel rooms I've ever stayed in, clean, spacious, super comfy beds, quiet and very accessible (we were travelling with a 1yr old baby, which made parking by our front door very handy). There is a glistening blue pool which we didn't have time to use, but hope to use on our next stay, which looked clean and exceptionally maintained. The same could be said for the whole motel actually - exceptionally maintained. You can really tell that Jenny and Mark put a lot of time and effort into their accommodations. If you are looking for somewhere to stay on your next road trip, get in touch with the Tuckerbox Motor Inn (don't bother with other accommodation websites) and make a booking directly with Jenny & Mark. It won't disappoint!

A good and comfy stay while travelling between Melbourne & Sydney. Got ever facilities for a quick stay and get refreshed. Room carpet felt bit old, worth a good carpet cleaning and also swimming pool also can be kept more clean.

We dropped in last minute over Easter on our way home. They had a last minute cancellation so we booked over the phone. We were arriving late after hours towing a trailer. Michelle was very helpful and true to her word, the room was ready for us to just walk in; the trailer fitted next to the pool area out of the way of other guests. The whole experience couldn’t have gone better. Many Thanks

I’ve stayed at several motels in my recent travels, the tuckerbox motel is in my top 2 thus far….i received a warm welcome in reception, they even offered an undercover area for my motorbike❤️ The first thing I noticed on entry to my room was the fresh clean smell, unlike some other motels I’ve come across…..there was plenty of free milk and tea , coffee and sugar…….some free bikkies which always elevates a motel in my book. I truly can’t fault this establishment and would happily recommend it to anyone. Personally I’ll be back next time I’m in or near Gundagai. Thank you team for a pleasant stay 11/10 in my books 👏😊👍

We booked this hotel on our way to Melbourne... called up on the way back from Sydney, we booked the room over the phone, Jacqui was very nice over the phone and when we arrived she was very friendly and had everything ready for us. The room was very spacious and is one of the cleanest hotel rooms we have stayed at, would recommend to anyone that needs a hotel half way between Sydney and Melbourne to stay here, we asked about dinner and got a map and places to go and eat at and which cuisine which was great. It is in a great location just off the hume, didn't hear the trucks going past at night time which was great as a little worried we might hear road traffic but didn't notice it at all. We will be staying there again travelling between Melbourne and Sydney!

Our staff work very hard to ensure our guests can enjoy comfortable and clean accommodation during their stay with us.
