I heartily recommend the KRM. Key points: VERY clean rooms, brand new (and very slick) bathrooms, espresso drinks are available for purchase at the office, free excellent Wi-Fi, and immensely convenient location for a coastal drive. The only downside is some road noise, but our earplugs remedied that (and the fact that interior walls are brick insures that room-to-room noise... More

My husband and I recently stayed three nights at this motel. Don't be mislead by first appearances. This is a very clean and comfortable motel and has a lovely charm about it. The rooms have been refurbished tastefully keeping the homely feel of the place. I loved the little cafe attached to the motel. It was relaxing to just have... More

Stayed here for a night recently when I had to visit relatives in Urunga for a funeral. This is a small motel right on the Princes Highway (so BYO earplugs as it's noisy with 24 hr traffic from trucks, etc) run by a lovely family who make you feel very welcome. The rooms are small and basic, but have some... More

I don't know whether it's the fact this place is charmingly outdated, or that the gardens aren't perfect, or the way that June walks happily about wearing an apron, but staying at the Kalang River Motel is almost like staying at an Aunt's house, because it has that same welcoming feel to it. The older-style room had polished floorboards and... More

At first sight as you drive in, this motel seems past its best. However, reception was pleasant and welcoming.The rooms are small, but clean and comfortable. Bathrooms are also small, but recently renovated and more than adequate. Then, what a surprise - the (soft) drinks in the refrigerator and potato crisps, chocolate bars etc were at street prices. Wi-fi was... More
