The staff was amazing. They made sure they had the keys in the box so we could get in after hours. And we’re kind enough to book and reserve us a hotel up in Coffs harbor. It was at one of their sister properties, which is amazing as well and thank God they did because every hotel in the harbor was booked. We can’t thank them enough. Highly recommend this place.

The Macquarie Barracks Motor Inn is a budget motel accommodation that deserves a four-star plus rating. The property is well-suited for families, couples, groups and travellers with limited travel funds. This stay is our third time here spread over three years. For our most recent one-night stay, we paid less than A$199 for a premium king-bed room equipped with a sizeable jetted bath tub that could fit two adults and an extra child or a petite adult. With this luxurious amenity coupled with a clean and spacious room, we scored a good-value-for-money accommodation in a beautiful yet highly expensive holiday destination in the mid-north coast in NSW. The property is well positioned in the heart of Port Macquarie; but despite the heavy vehicular traffic in the daytime, it was surprisingly quiet and peaceful in the evening. We slept like a log! Foremost, the reception was pretty much simple and straightforward with check-in and check-out formalities. We provided booking details and bob’s your uncle. We received our room key promptly with a friendly smile from the front-desk staff and enjoyed a relaxing spa bath to unwind after a hectic day of sightseeing and high-adrenaline holiday activities. Macquarie Barracks has always delivered the best of everything for us. Thank you very much!

Nothing to like or dislike. Reason we chose Macquarie Barracks is that we could have our cat lodging with us for an extra $50 per night. An amount I thought was terribly high but had no choice but to pay. Kind regards
