Hotels Near Chatham Park in Taree

Travelled with my elderly father, booked and received confirmation for deluxe twin room. I received a blank email from the motel 3 days prior to the booking, I replied informing them there was no message in their email and I confirmed my booking confirmation number but had no acknowledgement from them. On checkin I paid for the Deluxe Twin Room but given a 1x Queen bed room, went back to reception and manager told me there was a Twin room booking that had not yet arrived and could put us in that room however it was upstairs and I explained my father can not manage stairs and I noted ground floor room in booking. No apology or explanation as to why my twin room booking was overlooked/overbooked but he did offer a trundle bed for the queen room, which made it crowded in the room and bed not overly comfortable. As it was a one night stay it was ok but if we had stayed longer than I would have demanded to be moved to the correct room that I booked and paid for. Room was clean, tidy and renovated. No milk in fridge to have with coffee/tea. Could smell cigarette smoke from person standing outside our room. When booking a specific room type, you expect to get it, and because of this experience I’m not sure I would stay there again.

Checking in is hassle free, very straightforward. Lovely and very accommodating manager, Sonny. Stayed in a family room, adequate space for family of 4, has a veranda to sit and relax, and very convenient to grab your stuff from car as you can park just infront of your room. Everything you need in an overnight stay / stop over, room was clean and supplied with essentials you need. The motel has bits and pieces of train history and has a vintage vibe in every corner, the place is a bit dated but well kept and maintained. Would definitely go back again.

The environment is very good, you can take a walk by the river in the morning, the room is also very large, there is a balcony. But the hygiene is not very clean, and there are dried stains on the quilt. The mattress of the big bed is spliced together by two single bed mattresses. The front desk staff was very good and very patient. The only downside is that there is no bottled drinking water.

Everything is modern. Someone really took their time and planned the layout and decor. There is so much space. You have so much privacy with a large ensuite off a bedroom that could fit 4 queen beds and two more on its own private veranda. Great views from living room, bedroom, or kitchen. You can open up the full length glass doors and expand the rooms to fresh ocean breeze and listen to the native birds in the bushland just meters from the second private veranda. Easy access and parking. The carpark is another example of the owners taking pride in the quality of the guests experience over the quantity of rooms that most motels try to cram in. You can drive in or out either entrance with large car spaces to reverse or nose in at 45° right up to the door. The car park is in the centre of the block so you don't have to look at your car covered in bugs when enjoying the views. Ok I'm taking to long for an online review. I'll wrap it up quick. The rooms have everything like washing machines and TV, lounge. Ultra high ceilings. Modern split system aircons. And OMG space. I'm going to take a photo to prove it cos I know people won't beleive me, they have polished timber floors. These people want you to enjoy your stay. They are friendly and professional with the highest standard of cleaning I've seen in a motel and somehow their prices are so cheap. I am definitely staying again and would recommend this motel to honeymooners who want high quality, the family who want to create memories, travellers who want comfort and accessibility or the cheapskates like me who wanted to save money. You won't find better. Lastly, with hand on my heart, I know it's a big call ”this place is better than the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas” well done to the owners and managers.

ok first up this is not a perfect park - it could use some TLC - especially given prices during peak dates. Having said that - the staff were amazing - and it was busy and they were still amazing There's treats at the local shop that's a nice walk from the park via a kids playground. Kids activities during the holidays. More than one pool and also a water play park, and a playground next to the jumping pillow so lots of different adventure locations, especially to have space between big and little kids. There is an indoor space for little kids (＜6years), a separate kitchen, games room. The kitchen started to get very busy but there are BBQs scattered throughout the park with their own small shelters. The sites are large but very different - site choice is important - some sites have amazing shelter - bushes around them and uphill - some are completely open and downhill, a couple of sites are in the middle of the cabins, or back onto a swamp area, and some camping sites are far from the toilet block and border the road. But close to the lagoon – although a decent walk to the beach – which I don’t think is a swimming beach but we managed sandcastles. The park is huge - the map mentions 700m walk between parts of the park - there are two toilet blocks and laundries but that's still a long walk from the camp sites. Our site was open so we had a lot of wind and were downhill so water ran through the site - sadly a car using the space near us had their car mildly bogged and they needed assistance to pull out of the space (but given wettest year ever...fair enough). All in all it wasn't too expensive for the mix of facilities and the staff made the visit worthwhile.

The management of this park could not give a care about other people or there children . This wy the management hired out the camp kitchen to a dog group from Saturday till Sunday so thay could have dogs in the kitchen and we the campers where tolled to get out as thay have hired it so no one else could use it I made a complaint to management and thay agreed its wrong and should not be allowed to have dogs in the kitchen that rule apply s to every other camper we where also tolled that David and his wife don't care as thay say the camp kitchen it not there for our convenience and we only pay for a site and he can shut and hire it out when ever he likes what an attitude iam also talking with the owners of the discovery parks and thay feel it is unacceptable behaviour from management the camp kitchen is ther for all campers to use and thay have no right to ban others because of there don't care attitude very disappointed and will not return will the management is still there even the water park for children he shuts that on Sundays so he can bring back his soccer team and have a barbecue and drinks in there but no one else can do the same again selfish and inconsiderate to the people paying to go there head office in south Australia will be looking at the comments I have made and will won't a response from the inconsiderate management of foster discovery park

Luxury and customer service 10 out of 10. We absolutely loved over stay here. You definitely won’t regret booking here. Just next to the beach with a heated pool. Good little restaurant with the best staff. Plenty of hammocks and very very family friendly place.

Room was deceiving, looked small from outside but was quite roomy inside. The room itself was immaculate and smelt clean. The beds are comfortable and the sheets again felt lovely and clean. Limited cutlery and plates but I was warned about that and could go to reception for any additional item I needed. Good WiFi and television reception. Lovely little motel where you are greeted with a warm smile and great advice on the area. It is on a main road so the morning commute traffic wakes you up but definitely not an issue at night.
