Warrumbungles Mountain Motel

On a road trip from Brisbane to Canberra, I stayed here 2 nights on the way to and two on the return trip. The Motel is only 10 minutes from the main town of Coonabarabran and is on the road to the Siding Springs Observatory. The motel is on a large piece of land that provides some excellent opportunities for stargazing of an evening. The accommodations are basic but comfortable, though a bit cold when I stayed in June. The rooms all have a reverse cycle A/C but it struggled to cope the nights I stayed, but there were plenty of spare blankets. Water pressure is good but it took a longish moment for thee hot water to come to the tap, but remained strong and hot when it did arrive. There were enough power outlets. The WiFi was intermittent and a little slow when it did work. There is no phone single anywhere on the grounds. There is a service where you can pre-book meals but on each of the 4 nights I stayed they had "run out" of salad. However the food was reasonably priced, hot and well seasoned and I enjoyed having it bought to the door. I would stay again.

Very quiet, clean and able to take pets a bonus. The grounds looked good being freshly mowed yesterday. Friendly staff who made our stay an enjoyable one. Very close to the sliding and lovely shops in Coonabrabran, a very nice town with a great community.

A lovely quiet place to stay. Excellent fish and chips but they definitely should put curry on the menu.
