Cootamundra Gardens Motel

There is an obvious and commendable effort by the current operators to upgrade and improve this very much older style motel. Our room had a near new clean shiny bathroom. Also very effective wi-fi and air conditioning. We agree that the term Gardens is a tad misleading, but there is a pleasant central courtyard with above average sized pool and newish B.B.Q. The biggest asset though is it’s rather excellent on-site Indian restaurant. So, for the moderate price this motel is well worth considering because of the actual and planned improvements and the efforts to upgrade from first impressions which might be of some shabbiness and untidiness.

The room had cockroaches and was filthy I didn’t even use the bed I had to sleep in the chair as it was filthy

Booked a Deluxe Queen with Balcony. The balcony was a concrete slab outside the door, the building is single story. Not a garden to be seen and you knew when your neighbour had a shower because of the plumbing noise. The a/c was loud and the outside unit was damaged and I never saw the fan working. Very basic but clean. The remote for the a/c was filthy. ‘Deluxe’ is an over statement.

Unfortunately I would not recommend this stay to people who are looking for a nice stay. The room smelt like sewage, it was not clean, people smoking outside the rooms all night. Found rubbish in the draws. There has been an attempt to some upgrades but a long way off at the moment. I hardly slept choking on cigarette smoke. I notified the owner and got a non satisfactory response. I found another place but of course no refund from the this place. Highly not recommended.

This place is in desperate need of an update and a proper clean. The owners need to do more than just change the sheets and towels. It borders on disgusting and is well below basic standards for a rural motel. I won't stay again. Even the towels were stained and smelt stale.

Somewhat clean. Bed reasonably comfortable but interior should be ripped out and redone. Furniture at the Salvation Army would be in better condition. It would hurt to fill the holes in the walls and add new screens to the windows. Very disappointing especially paying neatly $200 for the room

We didn't stay at the motel so this review is about the restaurant. We have had takeaway from this restaurant several times now and we love it. The food is wonderful and the service can't be beaten. So friendly and helpful and their estimate of timing of when the food is ready has always been spot on - and they also text when it's ready - no standing around waiting for long periods of time. We will definitely be back as we see this as one of our regular spots now.

The fit out terrible, doors/drawers didn’t close. No fresh towels or room service.

Comfortable but smallish room. Enjoyed the shower. Glad it had a microwave but there were no plates or cutlery apart from a teaspoon and mugs… if you have a microwave you at least need a plate or two and cutlery!
