Overall Ratings & Reviews Tea Gardens Motel

Room was spacey & clean. Walking distance to club which had very nice Chinese food. Staff were friendly & helpful. Would stay again.

Rang several times, left messages and emails to advise we would be late. No one was there and first room we were given had not been cleaned at all with bedding clearly left a mess from last occupants. Room we ended up in was clean and comfortable but cold and bathroom needed a refresh.

This motel appears to have been an expensive spend when first constructed, but fixtures and fittings are now a little "long in the tooth" and in need of modernising. If you provide liquid soap etc. dispensers, at least ensure they are full when room is serviced. The washbasin soap dispenser was empty as was the shower gel - not very good particularly at the price point of the rooms. Several rooms being serviced with bedding disheveled and unoccupied were left in full view with open curtains; not a good look. We had a quiet and peaceful stay all the same.

Good spa in room, comfortable bed. Loose bed head, smelly wardrobe, power tripped off tv for a while.

Awesome

Asked to swap rooms as the king bedroom with “garden view” was a bit misleading as the view was more like dirt view with a line of trees close by . Wife was also unimpressed with cleanliness. However they did redeem themselves by swapping us to a room with lawns view, that was also a lot cleaner. No smart tv though ! Just terrestrial channels. Overall would recommend but ask for queen room with lawn view

Outdated

Great stop off the highway

I always stay at the Tea Gardens Motel now when I am in the area and my Support Worker and Myself really like it’s charm

Hard to have much to say. Unfortunately weather terrible. Staff of motel and club were caring and made stay pleasant.

Clean and relatively comfortable. Expensive.

On first arrival the room looked really clean, bright, tidy and spacious. The soft green wall and beach artwork was beautiful - perfect even. Going into the bathroom was more disappointing, as there was water damaged laminate under the sink cabinet, which housed the spa equipment, which means there was also no storage. The shower was absolutely brilliant!!! The only real complaint is about the cleansing products. They are cheap - the hand wash and body wash gel is actually rubbish and did not lather or wash the residue makeup off my hands. I washed my hands three times and it still didn't come off - good luck cleaning the white towels. If you improve a couple of these easy to fix issues, you would get an even higher rating. The accommodation is in a convenient spot. I did find $299 per night rather steep in price - it's not the Ramada.

Great location short drive to the beach and shops

Nice tidy place, I found it comfortable & clean place to stay. I would definitely stay there again

convenient

Staff were really accommodating. There was a bbq that we used - in great shape. The shower was amazing and there was a jacuzzi tub!!! Nice size room. Comfy beds. All you need! I’d stay again.

All the above

At first, we were quite confused to book the motel because of the location as it was one hour away from Nelson bay. However, once we arrived, we found it was worth it. Such a lovely staff and clean room. Plus, the country club is just behind the hotel so it was really convenient to go for a drink and dinner. Also, enjoying the karaoke.

Facilities and amenities excellent,

Such a unique spot for us Canadians with the country club right beside. Very friendly people, nice little patio for each room. All in all a very pleasant stay in a neat little town.
