Cowra Motor Inn

This motel is located off the main road, which is one of the reasons we picked it as the highway through Cowra carries trucks all day and night. It's definitely a budget option but some improvements have been made. But the rooms are tiny, and the layout of the bathroom is odd (long and narrow). That said, the bed was comfortable and we were only there for one night. Basically good if you're passing through, but I would look elsewhere should I find myself in Cowra again.

Lovely small unit that served our needs. Comfortable bed with plenty of pillows and blankets if needed. Very clean and everything we needed for breakfast. Bonus microwave in the room. Only negative was only one knife and one plate for toast for two people. Was not a bother as we shared. Water was lovely and hot and pressure of the shower was amazing. We would definitely stay again.

Upon check-in, the manager there ‘Nicole’, was only too happy to give me helpful suggestions of where to dine and had given me a ‘Motel Guest Card’ which entitles me to a $5 discount, should I choose to dine at the Cowra Bowling Club – that was a very nice offer (there are many other cafés and restaurants to choose and all within walking distance), Nicole also suggested attractions to visit during our stay. Cowra Motor Inn was clean, comfortable and within walking distance to town - there is a nearby Coles store (approximately 3-minute walk) via Macquarie Street and Cowra Bowling and Recreation Club (approximately 7-minute walk)… plenty of free off-street parking, if you choose to drive. Included in the price of our accommodation, you also receive Continental breakfast (2 x packets of hot chocolate powder; 2 x bowls of cereal; 2 x packets of biscuits [2 biscuits per packet]; teas / coffees all in the cupboard and in the fridge, you will find a small carton of milk; a bowl of mix packets jams / honey / butter and four slices of bread), free Wi Fi, free pay TV (in selected rooms only), there is a pool on site and laundry service. I only stayed there overnight, as it was a pit stop for us, heading to Parkes. The first thing we wanted to do, was to visit the Cowra Visitor Information Centre, which was approximately 15-minute walk. The room also offers air conditioning, a refrigerator, the necessary kitchen appliances and complimentary soaps, shampoo and conditioner. The room we had, was recently renovated and you have a free parking space provided on the premise. We have found that the Continental breakfast was very satisfying and a good idea to have a hassle-free start to your day. Our stay at the motor inn was comfortable, relaxing, enjoyable and most of all peaceful, as it is located off the highway. If I had to fault the room, it was the bathroom, as it didn’t have a shelf to put your toiletries on, but the floor worked perfectly and we were only there for an overnight stay, so it suited our needs, regardless and all the comforts were there. I highly recommend this place, budget-friendly, convenient, quiet and very close to town.

After last minute change of travel plans due to road closures we were able to secure the last room at this motel and found our accommodation was good. The room was great value and the continental breakfast satisfying. Nicole is very helpful and only too happy to offer dinner suggestions when you arrive.
