Harrington Village Motel

Don't judge this motel by the outside. Double room on the ground floor looked like it had been refurbished. Queen bed, table and two chairs,2 small tables for suitcasesand two seater lounge. Tea/coffe,Microwave,kettle and toaster provided. Cutlery and crockery available from BBQ area outside. Seperate Toilet area from Shower and basin. Shower floor was slippery when soaping up so do be careful. This is a 2 storey motel so there is no designated parking even though there is plenty of parking for all vehicles but you may not get one directly outside your room if on the ground floor. The Club Harrington and Thai Restaurant is not far down the road for dinner. We drove there.

We enjoyed our stay at this motel but actually arranging to stay there was a bit fraught! We phoned to book at just after five (for the following night). The phone was answered but we were told, rather brusquely, that the office was closed, and the call was disconnected. So use an answering machine! We were left not knowing what was happening and when we phoned the next morning, the reception was just as unwelcoming, but we did manage to book on our second attempt. The wifi was unreliable (hopeless) but the room was clean and comfy. We checked out well before the required time, having read the sign threatening a ‘not negotiable’ financial penalty for leaving late. We were comfy and well catered for but never felt welcome the whole time we were there.

Everything is modern. Someone really took their time and planned the layout and decor. There is so much space. You have so much privacy with a large ensuite off a bedroom that could fit 4 queen beds and two more on its own private veranda. Great views from living room, bedroom, or kitchen. You can open up the full length glass doors and expand the rooms to fresh ocean breeze and listen to the native birds in the bushland just meters from the second private veranda. Easy access and parking. The carpark is another example of the owners taking pride in the quality of the guests experience over the quantity of rooms that most motels try to cram in. You can drive in or out either entrance with large car spaces to reverse or nose in at 45° right up to the door. The car park is in the centre of the block so you don't have to look at your car covered in bugs when enjoying the views. Ok I'm taking to long for an online review. I'll wrap it up quick. The rooms have everything like washing machines and TV, lounge. Ultra high ceilings. Modern split system aircons. And OMG space. I'm going to take a photo to prove it cos I know people won't beleive me, they have polished timber floors. These people want you to enjoy your stay. They are friendly and professional with the highest standard of cleaning I've seen in a motel and somehow their prices are so cheap. I am definitely staying again and would recommend this motel to honeymooners who want high quality, the family who want to create memories, travellers who want comfort and accessibility or the cheapskates like me who wanted to save money. You won't find better. Lastly, with hand on my heart, I know it's a big call "this place is better than the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas" well done to the owners and managers.

Comfortable, clean, with a good location. Very enjoyable and quiet stay. Upstairs rooms have a view of the river from their balcony. The rooms are spacious & there is bbq/kitchen facilities on the grounds. The motel is definetly exceptional value.

First time staying here and won’t be the last. Welcoming check-in at the Irish pub, lovely large room with nice outlook, well appointed bathroom with spa bath, comfortable king size bed, robes provided. Limited provision of utensils in room if expecting. Ate at the Irish pub which was very good, overseen by Tony.
