Red Cedar Motel

We first stayed here early January after an emergency trip to Muswellbrook. Bec was amazing and so friendly on arrival. We were dealing with an unexpected family death. Bec was a friendly helpful stranger who made us feel welcome. She took us to our room making sure we were comfortable. The room was amazingly clean, quiet and cosy. We have now returned to Bec and the Red Cedar. Bec remembered us and returning was like visiting a great friend. We cannot thank Bec enough for her friendliness, laughs and chats. If ever in Muswellbrook we 100% recommend the Red Cedar

Hubby & I stopped here overnight whilst driving from S.A. to QLD. There was very limited accommodation left in Muswellbrook so we hesitantly booked into this Motel. The outside of the motel from the road is not very inviting however, what a pleasant surprise we had during our stay. To start off, the receptionist was very friendly. When we opened the door to our room we were greeted by a spotlessly clean room. The towels were folded very neatly on the bed, the room was set our with thought with electricity plugs near the beds for phones to charge and a sleep apnea machine to be plugged in. There were even 2 champagne glasses in the room. And the entire room was VERY CLEAN!! We stayed at numerous hotels, motels and apartments during our 2 week road trip throughout rural Australia and honestly, we originally thought this was going to be the worst overnight abode and it ended up being the best! I can't recall our double room type we had but it was ground level and obviously had been recently updated. They discount the room rate if you pay cash. We didn't ask, they just offered. If we are ever back that way we will most definitely stay again. A typical case of not judging a book by its cover!

Accommodation is difficult to find in Muswellbrook, and most is fairly pricey if you are just after a stop over. Looks may be a bit deceiving at this Motel. I upgraded for a few extra dollars and received a clean, fresh room with everything you need. Traffic noise was surprisingly minimal, and the early morning workers were able to leave quietly without idling their Diesels. The only issue I had was trying to find an accurate tax invoice.
