I would definitely recommend the Henry Parkes Motel. We stopped here on route to Brisbane, the family room we booked was very clean with everything you needed. The team at Henry Parkes Motel were very lovely and extremely helpful. The museum, shops and restaurants are all just a few minutes walking distance away. This place was recommended to us by friends.

A lovely motel with an excellent restaurant. Just be aware, it is next to a highway so there is traffic noise.

The room was clean as judged by my wife who notices if something is not clean.
The staff were courteous, and the restaurant food was very good.

Weekend away
Close to town, restaurants.
The onsite restaurant was quite good.
Not a huge menu but did have a range that would suit most.
Friendly staff, prices average.

Quiet, private location and very comfy bed!
We were pleased to have a room located at the back of the property. The room was spacious and well appointed, even had a washer & dryer and a microwave with simple kitchen set up for a quick breakfast.

This was a last minute stay at my go to halfway stop from Gold Coast to Tamworth. I jumped online an hour before arrival as I had planned to drive home in one hit but was physically exhausted from Tamworth Country Music Festival. The team checked me in quickly and offered help as I was clearly not feeling well. Even checkin on me this morning that I was ok to drive. HIGHLY recommend this hotel as the staff are always friendly and caring. Will keep coming back for all my long car trips to Tamworth via Tenterfield.

We had a wonderful three nights stay. Very lovely and attentive staff, the rooms were great, very clean. It’s located a very short walk from the centre of town with great eating options. Would highly recommend.
