Top 10 Motels in Shoalhaven, Australia

May 16, 2023 Milan Banda

Shoalhaven might not be the first place to come to mind when thinking of Australia—but it should be. That is if you enjoy surfing sparkling turquoise waters, immersing yourself in the verdant trails and gorges of Ben’s Walk, and exploring caverns and sea cliffs through Gosangs Tunnel. Looking for something a bit more restful? Enjoy stunning views (particularly at sunset) from the Point Perpendicular Lighthouse before feasting on local treats at one of the coastal region’s 20 vineyards.

Gr8 rustic revamped room. Unfortunately no electric blanket as night was cold. A quiet room away from princes Highway . I was concerned about their recycling as a lot of cans, bottles etc the next morning were in trash bags when housemaids were cleaning rooms. The bags destined for landfill. A 20 min walk to town was an inconvenience but a Gr8 walk along Shoalhaven river

A pleasant Surprise

Reviewed By Stan E

We stayed at this motel on 18 December 2021 and we were very happy with the accommodation and we met the owner Wayne who was very helpful. The room was comfortable and immaculately clean. The bed was very comfortable. Even though this motel is on the Princes Highway which is very busy at this time of the year we did not hear any traffic noise in our room. We have stayed at many motels and this is definitely up there for value. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in Nowra

Special - the little things

Reviewed By Chris B

I stay away for work a lot and appreciate the little details that are so rarely found; common sense things to us travellers. The efficient use of the space, a quality fitout and fittings, starting with the functional workspace desk, in room toaster, kettle and lovely specialty coffee pods, fairly standard. A stocked mini bar, becoming rarer every day. An electric blanket, nice linens, comfortable bed and nice towels. Thats all without mentioning the beach and ocean views from the room and the fantastic location very close to the beach and Cafes and the Golf Club. And lovely service on arrival, thank you

Spacious unit with beach view

Reviewed By Anne M

I had a pleasant overnight stay in a good-sized first-floor apartment with bedroom, small kitchenette area, bathroom, living room and a sea-view balcony which had outdoor furniture. It was great to have a large bench as well as a desk, and in the living room a table with two chairs as well as a lounge and side-table. There was lots of storage space, basic kitchen equipment, a microwave, two tvs, ample number of powerpoints, individual air con, good bathroom bench space and complimentary toiletries. There was a bit of seepage out of the shower but not a big issue. Wi-fi worked well. The nice warm bathrobe was a bonus. Bed was comfortable. No elevator but I didn't expect one in a motel of this size, and hoisted my wheelie up the steps. The motel is across the road from the beach and also the Golf Club. There was a cafe not far away too, which was open till 7pm I think. I received useful info in advance e.g. about parking, check-in, local restaurants etc.

Not happy

Reviewed By eileenbV8433FF

After booking 5 weeks in advance while travelling to Nowra Motor Inn for an overnight stay we received a phone call to say they had no room for us. We'd had a confirmation when booking for a twin room on ground level as we are in our 80s. 10am on the day of arrival and they tell us they have no room for us. This was very distressing and inconvenient for elderly travellers.

Comfortable and good value

Reviewed By Peita W

Very comfortable stay. Good value. Very clean. Oldish style motel but bathrooms renovated with fantastic shower. Very comfortable bed in our king room. Nice big TV. Friendly reception. Parking spaces quite small. No services on Sunday but we were given extra milk and towels in advance and we went out for breakfast so no problems.
