We selected Riverview Boutique Motel, as it suited our budget and it was just an overnight stay. It was tricky getting to the motel, the driveway leading to the motel, looks like a path but it’s both path and narrow driveway. The motel itself, looks well maintained but it looked a bit run down from the outside, there’s a large carport at the back, to park your car and an amazing array of cacti plants – some sad looking and others a bit perky – we thought our stay would be average. But who would have thought, that we would see the same husband and wife team from Junee, managing the motel in Nambucca Heads? Peter (the manager), explained to me, that he and his wife works as relief managers, six weeks at a time, from motel to motel. Well, I was excited, because I knew we were in good hands, lovely couple, so professional and knows how to look after their guests. I was quite surprised, that the inside of the motel, looked amazing, clean, spacious and true to their description “charming old building… comfortable seaside accommodation retreat where you will relax and enjoy…” And yes, very relaxing, it felt like home, instead of a motel. Peter had given me an overview sheet, of what you can do in Nambucca Heads, which I was pleasantly surprised that there’s lots to do but unfortunately, we were only there for one night – checked in by 2pm and out the following day by 10am. But we did take Peter’s advice and had dinner at V-Wall Pavilion… nice place and a short walking distance too (in fact, all cafés, restaurants and The Nambucca River are within walking distance). We also prepaid our breakfast, which Peter gave us a checklist of the options we can have and whether you want the breakfast delivered to your room or eat in their dining area – we selected to dine in their beautiful, well laid out, spacious dining room and a key to unlock out room. Our room was very clean, has all the necessities you need (body wash / shampoo, coffee/tea condiments, air con and the necessary appliances), to make your stay comfortable. Our room had a balcony – lovely to be able to sit outdoors and enjoy a cuppa in privacy. We even squeezed in a stroll on the boardwalk of Nambucca Heads River, in search of “Wally” and we were happy to have found about nine - I’m sure there’s more. We had a good night’s sleep, very quiet area, the bed and pillows were super comfortable and breakfast waiting for us – perfect way to start our day and our continued travels. Breakfast was served straight away and hot. We had eggs, bacon, tomato and toasts with coffee and orange juice – cooked to perfection, coffee was the best and the juice was nice, a perfect finish of our stay and a stressless way to our day. I highly recommend Riverview Boutique Motel, it is truly a “charming old building” but also gives you the feeling of home.
