The accomodation at City Centre Motel was fantastic. Kempsey is quite a hot place so having acces to the pool for my daughter was great and having the air conditioner on in my room upon first walking in was very welcome. Everything I needed was in walking distance from Woolworths and Big W to the main street of town. If i return I will definitely be booking there again.

We had a fantastic stay at this property! Our room was spotless and thoughtfully designed, with an efficient layout that made it very comfortable. The location was incredibly convenient—just a short walk to the city center, supermarkets, and several takeaway food outlets. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a clean, well-located place to stay.
