Waterview Motel Maclean

Excellent location to stay on a long road trip. EV chargers were incredibly convenient, owners are lovely and very helpful . Very close to shops and restaurants. The property has solar and batteries for those environmentally conscious people that are interested in environmentally friendly options. Will definitely stay here in the future

My second stay here and will be my absolute last. My first stay was quite pleasant and the staff helpful. The second one. I will start with the positives - good bathroom, work desk, air con and biscuits with tea & coffee. Now for the negatives the room I stayed in was absolutely exposed to the main road linking Maclean to Yamba & highway meaning a swoosh of cars no sleep for me as I'm a light sleeper, no milk for my tea & coffee after a long day I really wanted a tea & milk, the bed rolls moves around on its wheels they don't have locks, no powerpoints next to the bed and next to my room was an out of control family & group of people making noise until near midnight & again from 3am. I got absolutely no sleep. Lessons to learn - when booking never stay on a main through road and always avoid the places with family rooms as you get out of control groups or parents who can't quieten their kids. The managers when all the noise was happening were no where to be seen.

Well located motel a nice walk into town along the river. Very clean and comfortable. Off street parking. Maclean is a lovely town with nice cafes, a pub and bowling club. Some lovely boutique shops ad well. If you have Scottish heritage, look up your tartan and find your telegraph pole. The telegraph poles in the town have all been painted with a tartan.

I arrived after 6pm yet Jeff was very accommodating and made sure I settled in nicely. There was a welcome sign on my door making me feel valued. Jeff went out of his way to help me. The room may a appear a bit dated but the bed was good, lots of furniture & bench space, wifi worked brilliantly, a desk so I could work on my laptop, updated bathroom and basic kitchen essentials. I needed a bowl for my cereal and Jeff was happy to provide one. Despite being a light sleeper I did get a sound sleep and there’s very little road noise after 9pm. There’s mini bar for snacks and menu for made to order breakfasts at a reasonable price. A really pleasant stay. Thanks Jeff.

We highly recommend. It was very affordable with really lovely friendly staff. We enjoyed our stay, we had the family room which was very comfortable, with plenty of seating. Lovely view of the water, nice place to sit and enjoy the afternoon sun . Lovely walk along the river .

My wife and I rode our Harleys thru one of the worst hail storms I have ever seen South of Maclean. We arrived at the Waterview Motel, to be greeted by the beautiful young lady at the front desk. Once we got checked in, they couldn’t do enough for us, ensuring our soaking clothes were dried for the next day. Absolute pleasure to stay there. Rooms very nice, comfy beds, all facilities needed. Even the neighbour insisted I put my bike in his car port. My wife had cover for hers at the motel. Highly recommend this Motel, and it won’t be the last time we stay there.
