The Coachmans Rest Motor Lodge

We have our own expansive garden setting and truly generous swimming pool for all the family to relax and enjoy. Our family atmosphere and friendly staff will be only too happy to help you discover the wonders of the Warrumbungles and if you’re energetic enough, enjoy the internationally famous treks through the range.

After a busy day, guests can enjoy a meal at Coachman’s Bistro. Delicious menu items include barramundi, beef stroganoff, chicken schnitzel and lasagna. There is also a kids menu available.

Pet Friendly!

The room was comfy and warm, the owners were very welcoming, most importantly they are pet friendly and love animals! I forgot an item after checking out and the owners went above and beyond to get it back to me, very much appreciated. Would definitely stay again if we were travelling through the area.

Hilarious

Travelling through and having a pit stop here with my 2 dogs was a great find. The dogs were asked what their names are, my bag got carried into the room which was very clean and the dogs could just walk out the sliding door to the lawn to have their little run around . Was a welcoming experience by the owner after a hectic drive. Highly recommend if travelling with dogs. Nice and cosy room.

Okay

Have had a week staying at the Coachman's due unforeseen circumstances. The owners Derrick and Carole could not have looked after us any better. The room was clean and spacious and a bonus I was able to have my dog stay with us. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. Highly recommend-🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
