Lovely Family Stay

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Dec 2022via mobile
Wonderful stay we had everything we needed. Fred so welcoming on check in and made sure we had everything we needed. Our 8 year old enjoyed the heated pool. Located close to the beach coffee shops and restaurants. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again when in South West Rocks again.

We only stayed for a night but but we were overwhelmed by the friendly, considerate and professional service from Di and Fred. A comfortable and relaxing motel with easy parking and access. I left my coat behind but Di and Fred went out of their way to return it quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend the Rockpool Motor Inn and will be staying there again soon.

We have stayed at Rockpool Motor Inn several times for single nights and extended stays and have always had a wonderfully friendly welcome. Every room has been excellent. Comfortable beds, spotless linen and clean and spacious bathrooms.My wife once left a blouse when we left and Di very kindly sent it to us free of charge. The motel is in a very quiet location away from the town centre but within easy reach of it and the beaches. We will always stay at Rockpool on our trips to SouthWestRocks and on our way further south.

Amazing welcome , friendly and happy and helpful . Directed to our room and showed where to park .room comfortable with all you need for an overnight stay. Fabulous large shower.
Restaurant downstairs was the best ever, very busy but staff pleasant and helpful food was 5 star. Beck a 10 minute walk away absolutely beautiful wish we could have stayed longer . Highly recommend

Room tip: May have to carry case up a flight of stairs so ask for a ground floor room if you have poor mobility

So looking forward to welcoming you again next time you visit Oz. We are thrilled to know you had a fab stay and found the service, value and location to be 5 star! We will pass on our compliments to the owner of our onsite restaurant, Sue Henry - we agree (with a lot of guests too) that her food is super amazing. Kind regards, Fred, Di and team

First impression was a welcoming smile from reception. The room was large and very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Bed was a dream to sleep on. Only negative was no curtain on window for privacy when blind up.

Room tip: Only small area around pool to sit. Could get crowded in busy seasons

Big thank you for your wonderful review and recommendation. Thank you for your comments about the blinds. They were recently replaced to brighten and freshen the rooms a little more and the majority of our guests have advised that when they retire to their rooms they don't mind having the blinds half or 3/4 down. Yes, we agree our spacious outdoor areas with plenty of places to sit and soak up the sun are lovely. We look forward to welcoming you again next time you visit South West Rocks. Kind regards, Fred, Di and team

I organized a Golf trip in South West Rocks NSW for 20 people. We booked 10 rooms at the Rockpool Motor Inn. This place and each room were spotlessly clean and the proprietors went out of their way to welcome us and to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. The dining room was special the food was exceptional.
I would thoroughly recommend this establishment to any future traveler.
