This motel was well appointed and clean. Unfortunately in our room No 12 there was a large hole in the carpet and it was covered by a mat that was curling up at the corners. Quite dangerous and a trip hazard as it was in a very prominent place on the floor. The staff were friendly. We booked through Expedia. I searched for accommodation near Tanilba Bay. Karuah Motel came up in the search with available dates and stated in their advertisement it was 9.73 km from Tanilba Bay! We were horrified upon arriving at the motel to find it was in fact 41 kilometres to Tanilba Bay where we were visiting friends for two days for a special celebration. Expedia blatantly, dishonestly and deceptively advertised this hotel as being 9.73 kms from Tanilba Bay! The round trip from the motel to Tanilba Bay was 82 kms and over 70 mins! We would never of chosen to stay at this motel if the correct distance of 41 kms to Tanilba Bay was advertised. I have tried to communicate my disappointment to Expedia but it’s falling on deaf ears. All they say is they are disappointed to hear I was frustrated. I believe I should either be refunded the cost or compensated in some way as Expedia sold me a product that was not suitable for my needs and by law I should have money reimbursed or compensated. We tried upon arriving at the motel to secure other accommodation closer to our destination but as it was a long weekend holiday in NSW there was no other accommodation available. Do not use Expedia!

Acceptable for the price
It's a very old and run down facility, lighting is very poor inside the rooms. Parking was very hard due to spaces being too close to one another, and we couldn't park in the designated area (blocked by an adjacent car). I would say for the price and a max 1 night stay it's passable, we ended up just taking a shower, refreshing and driving 2 more hours to Sydney to stay at some relatives. I would not go back.

We were two and spent one night in Karuah Motor Inn. It was very nice! We arrived after the closing of the reception but the guy was very helpful and found a solution for the keys ! I really recommend staying there! By the way it is super close from the bus station!

I enjoyed my stay at this property. It was quiet until guests in the neighbouring room departed around 0300 hours, yes 3 am. These people had zero regard for other guests hopeful of a longer night/morning's sleep. I had 2 hotel overnights with the same experience of rude guests disrupting my sleep. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay and the convenient RSL nearby, where the welcome was warm again and the takeaway dinner very good too. My husband and I are planning to stay at this property on future drives between Brisbane and our Vincentia home.

Excellent! Attention to detail was appreciated in so far as the room provided all that a traveller required. Comfortable room size, good size fridge (plenty of drinking water, ice cubes,good variety of mini bar options) several tea and coffee options. Car park directly outside of room - no stairs. Would definitely stay there again.

Pleasantly surprised!
Staff were fantastic as they waited up for us to check in late. Really appreciated that as we had driven from Qld. The town itself was lovely and the food at the cafe down the road was great. Very pretty town and the room had everything you could want in it. Look forward to going back there and stay for a few days when we get the time.
