Motel Sir Francis Drake
2259 Pacific Highway,Heatherbrae, 2324 Heatherbrae, Australia – Great location - show map
The room was good. Comfy bed. Good amenities. Great restaurant and bar.
AustraliaGreat place to stay, was a little worried at first after reading some of the comments, but my experience was great. Comfy beds New bathrooms Clean rooms Great pool Very quiet Overlooked horse paddocks 7 eleven and maccas are right across the road for Late night snacks
AustraliaThe hotel is right off the highway so really easy to get to. The hotel backs onto horse paddocks and rooms at the back of the property were exceptionally quiet. The bed was super comfy and the restaurant provided delicious food and quick service. Just what a weary traveller needed!
AustraliaWe had a family room for 2 adults and 2 kids. We never expected that our room was so big that we were had our own space. The bathroom is very clean and the kitchenette as well. My kids even said that we should book there again.
AustraliaCheck in and out was a breeze. Very friendly attendant at the desk. The Room was immaculate, spacious and very comfortable. We had a Garden room, and the view was quite nice. Bathroom spacious as well. Shower was great. Beds were comfy. Very handy location. Parking was great at the property. All in all, we could not fault our stay here.
AustraliaWe had the queen deluxe suite which made the stay even more comfortable. The weather was terrible but the comfort of a hot spa made up for the inconvenience. A short trip to Beaumont St in Newcastle meant that we could not comment on the motel fair but I am sure it would be lovely.
Australiaoverall great experience, clean bathroom, bedroom and amazing outdoor area
AustraliaThe facility was founded, according to its materials, in 1985 as a conference center modeled on a baronial manor. Rooms surround a garden/courtyard with parking on the outside & terraces on the inside. Rooms are large, with space for eating and a large bath. A small toaster, mini-fridge, and microwave are available for use, with an eclectic selection of cutlery in a wooden box with 2 each of small bowls and plates. Water heating pitchers available for instant coffee. Fast food & shopping available nearby.
