elizabeth macquarieJuly 31, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our second time staying at River Motel. Rooms were very clean and comfy. Staff we spoke with were very friendly and polite. We will be back to Queanbean soon and will be looking to book with River Motel first.

Very clean room good parking very quiet room close to town.Only thing I found was room 45 had the smallest shower I've ever been in. Lisa MorganJuly 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Central location to shops and Cafes. Reception staff welcoming and professional. Older Motel but very clean and tidy with some modern facilities. Had all the things we needed. There was ample parking, little playground across the road for the kids to stretch their legs after a long car ride. I would recommend!! I AliJuly 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent location, nice rooms, we enjoy our stay. Mel LattanzioJuly 2, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place to stay. We had a room set back from the road and it was so quiet. Easy access to shops and eating options. Room was clean and tidy and had a separate bedroom, which was a bonus. Would definitely stay there again Jennifer “Sugar”June 27, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed two nights with our dog. Lovely room. Very close to the park and river which was good for the dog to toilet and walk. Nice staff. Thank you. Trudi CraigJune 23, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything about our stay was perfect. Contact with reception regarding check in was professional and useful, room very clean, spacious and warm, location awesome, so close to where we needed to go by foot, quiet location. The only thing I can suggest (and most motel rooms are the same), some corner shelving in the shower would be handy and a full length mirror on the wall near the kitchenette would be be great however a great use of space. Thankyou for a very enjoyable stay. Kerry AllmanJune 16, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
