Mackellar Motel

Lovely clean and quiet place to stay all in walking distance to restaurants and shops. Reception was lovely. Bit pricey only downside. But very nice. Bedding was good and room cool and clean on arrival. Will be back.

This is a well-presented property with spacious rooms, good lighting, effective air-conditioning, comfortable beds and under-cover parking - as you would expect for a country motel charging around $200 or more a night. However, that figure does includes a continental breakfast to the room. However, guests are not given a choice of items for the room service breakfast eg type of cereal, fruit juice variety and bread type etc . This might sound "picky" but when a motel is in that price range one might expect to be able to peruse a continental breakfast room service menu. This "one size fits all" might suit a certain clientele, but it is a bit outdated in an era when many people have dietary preferences. The staff did provide me with some alternatives when I requested some breakfast preferences but one should not have to ask for that at a property of this standard and price range. Having said that I would stay at this property again.

Excellent service from Bridget & staff I had a small glitch with booking through a third-party ( FYI JUST RING THEM DIRECT FOR BEST SERVICE & PRICE) which I probably wouldn’t have picked up on as I was going down for Dad‘s funeral and probably wasn’t focusing as well as I could’ve been. These guys found it sorted it out all before I actually picked it up 12 days later & only when a credit went through and I got the notification, honesty beyond, thank you .Our room was very clean & spacious, bed & pillows were very comfortable, great shower nice and hot with good pressure, lovely complimentary Continental breakfast and Bridget made me a very good cappuccino, the motel is walking distance, actually across the road or next door. It’s that close to all types of food,dine in or Takeaway. I would recommend staying here and it will be my go to when travelling through Gunnedah. THANKS AGAIN FOR A COMFORTING STAY AT A DISTRESSING TIME.
