City Centre Motel Kempsey, hotel in Kempsey

Located alongside the Macleay River, City Center Motel Kempsey features a pool and is 5 minutes’ walk from Kempsey town center. Free Wi-Fi is offered in all rooms except the Economy Rooms.

Don't judge a book by it's cover - motel looks a little dated from the outside, but inside everything's right. Really comfy king sized bed, good kitchenette (really well stocked with cutlery etc), large room and very, very quiet. Motel's literally 20 meters from McDonalds and KFC if you're after takeaway, has an in-house Chinese restaurant, and there's a Woolies and BigW shopping center less than a minute away by car, plus there's two service stations in the immediate vicinity. Located just off the highway it was a perfect place to break our drive back north.

    Beautiful town with Saturday market on the first Saturday day of every month next to the Riverside Park. I was there while the market was still on with beautiful people, fun and friendly singer, supportive audiences. And of course, don't skip on the local products which you should go around and you might find something you like inside the market with about 20 stalls. I was lucky enough to catch up on the historical car show just right next to the market and the river. If you drive from Sydney towards Brisbane or reverse, Must be check out this peaceful local town.

    I liked the sports fields where I could do my morning run :). I didn't like the Magpie that kept swooping me as I ran up and down the field :( The RSL serves great food - we had the roast of the day - fantastic

    It's a very pretty town with some nice cafes and restaurants. The Riverside walk is great with many information boards that detail the history of the area. The kids park by the river in town is really good. Parking is easy, and there are clean public toilets next to the park. Lou's cafe is a highlight! We had breakfast, but will also have dinner there next time.

    Slim Dusty Center well displayed of Slim Dusty memorabilia. The Center is very clean and coffee in the coffee shop is excellent to my taste. The Crescent head lookout is stunning and the surf beach is amazing.

    We found everyone very friendly. Lots of really lovely little shops as well as four supermarkets. We went out to a different local café each day, and were never disappointed. Beautiful Hat Head beach is only 30 minutes' drive away:)

    Tall timbers caravan park is a little tired but clean and the staff were friendly and suited our overnight stopover. Kempsey is a lovely town with great amenities. We ate at the RSL club overlooking the river the food and service were excellent.

    The only reasons I chose this motel on the way from Brisbane to Sydney is that it was about half way and it accepted dogs. It is an older style, rather run down motel but it would cost a lot to bring it up to first class and there is a lot of competition in Kempsey. It was clean and the bed linen was fine, which is all you really want in a motel. They charged extra for having my small, cavalier in the room but many people, I’m sure do not take good care of their pets or the room.

    Good, budget option for travelling up the NSW mid-coast. Older motel but very well maintained and very clean & quiet. We arrived late and Daniel gave us crystal clear instructions on check-in and how to get to our room in the dark.

    Most comfortable bed I have slept including 5 star hotels and crisp clean linen. Working air-conditioning. So I slept really well and that is worth a lot on it's own.
