It’s on the economic side of things, but bed was very comfortable and facilities clean.
On the run and a quick/clean place to stay that doesn’t break the budget… This fits the bill.
Friendly and helpful staff.

Spacious room with the start of elements of modernisation. Bathroom still very dated, but hopefully a work in progress if the rest of the room is anything to go by. Noce to have a table to eat at plus lounge chairs as well and a King Size Bed! Very comfortable.
Deers were a bonus for families with kids loving thr chance to see and feed them.

Fun friendly deer park place to stay
We had a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend this place to stay. The staff was super friendly and so were the deer! I didn’t expect that we would get to see and feed real live deer.

It was lovely staying at the Deer Park Motor inn, their USP is deers, very well maintained and affordable. We and our daughter loved playing with deers and feeding them. Definitely if we are going to come again to Armidale it’s going to our stay.

The deer were gorgeous- the pool facility was clean and easy to access.
The room was spacious, bed was fabulously comfortable. Bathroom needed maintenance (handbasin).
Missed breakfast due to sleeping in - maybe next time….. Would definitely stay again.

I wish i knew that there was an indoor heated pool. I would have lived a swim after graduation celebrations. The host was nice, and let me into thevroom early to get ready for my graduation. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room.

The room I stayed in was big and roomy. And very quiet, I didn't hear any noise. The main curtain was thick and heavy and blocked out most of the outside light. A good supply of tea and coffee and towels. Yes I would be happy to stay again if I am in Armidale.

I picked this place because it was pet friendly and wasnt expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised to see it nicely updated, very clean and the cutest friendly deer only a few metres away from my room. I only wish i had more time to stay to feed them.
