This is a cheap, pet-friendly motel with an outside run attached to the two pet-frindly units. The amenities are basic but very comfortable, and the motel close to the beautiful Gwydir River. The owners will happily move a microwave into your room from one of the fancier units if they are free. It's a fantastic place to spend a few days exploring the town and its history, or a great stopover with your pet if you're travelling. You can leave your car at the motel and walk into town for a great dinner at the hotel or a show at the old Roxy theatre.
