The Merewether Motel emerges as a beacon of cleanliness, with numerous travelers extolling the virtues of its spotless accommodations and efficient housekeeping. Nestled in a prime location, the motel offers easy access to local eateries and shops, though parking can be snug. While the rooms earn plaudits for their comfort and modernity, a handful of guests note the bathrooms could use an update.
Affordability is a highlight, as is the friendly service, though opinions on value vary with some mentioning noise issues. Additionally, the amenities, including a commendable breakfast, enhance the overall stay.

Family room and one queen room with balcony were great rooms . Other 3 smaller queen rooms probably a little small - however all rooms very clean. Staff very helpful and lovely to have pool for children . Unfortunately bbq could not be lit for a family bbq however helpful staff allowed us to cook on grill in motel kitchen. Would recommend to other travellers

So close to beaches, supermarket, cafes and restaurants, club, private hospital and an easy drive into the CBD. Super friendly staff, very clean rooms and facilities, and always scrumptious breakfasts. We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Newcastle.

What a pleasant surprise. Clean and comfortable room for one night as we were passing through. Friendly efficient reception staff. We have never seen an eco friendly toilet cistern before, a great invention. Although small, the bathroom was well appointed. Great shower head with good water pressure.

Lovely, clean, modern, spacious room with all the necessities needed for a comfortable stay. Very good value for money. Great, central location. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Only negative is that I had to park on the street when we arrived from venue late as all parking spaces were full , but street had good lighting.

Can't fault the motel. My ground floor room was clean and comfortable, shower was good. Sufficient on-site parking for all guests. Receptionist was efficient, helpful and friendly. And Motel was convenient for my meeting at Merewether Surf Club. Price was very reasonable too.
