Nice indoor pool, motel right in the center.
Unfortunately, the motel is a bit unkempt, there was rubbish from previous guests (plastic bottles) under the bed, the room was very small. The door to the courtyard opened by itself in the night due to a gust of wind - security is zero!
Pretty reasonable, quiet location with lots of native birds around on the trees, clean place, a little away from the town but not a big deal, staff wise average when greeting, could be better, a nice size TV available but no internet connection; at the arrival was given a small bottle of milk which was dispensed from the original packaging so wasn’t able to tell the expiry date, type of milk or trust the contents!, so would be more hygienic and trustworthy to be given a small sealed long life milk, during the night, we could get only couple of hours sleep as there was a few mosquitos around who took a good care of us annoyingly. Managed to find inspect spray middle of the night in the cupboard to give back their hospitality.
The room is not big, the environment and hygiene are average, and the Wi-Fi is basically for decoration. It is okay for one night, but it is unbearable to stay for more than a few nights.
Friendly service a nice quiet location backing onto the Macleay River. Very clean with a great comfortable bed. Not sure about the Restaurant as in being opened or closed but did show an open sign as we were driving to another location. The Restaurant also had Christmas decorations on tables and a Christmas Tree. So somewhat confused

Very Good
GGuest UserOK for one night.
The hotel is above the pub, which is also very busy in the afternoon.
There is also live music there on Sundays until around 9 p.m.
Everything is perfectly fine, unless you have room 10 next to the washing machine/dryer and sleep next to the ventilation. Even though drying and washing is not allowed after 9 p.m., it was very annoying.
The hotel rooms face the back, so in the morning you also have the noise from the loading area of the supermarket.
On the positive side, the room was in a modern condition and the staff were all very nice.
The beach is a ten-minute walk away.
GGuest UserIt was the last place available during the Christmas break while we passed through as our original plans fell through and while it was the least expensive option, we got what we paid for (plus the traditional Christmas period tax)
- Positives -
The service we got was great - it was a simple here is my name - there is your key - Just what I like.
The pool was small but popular with the families there and there as well as lots of people outside of their units having great chats with their neighbours.
The water was hot and while you could tell when other rooms turned their showers on, the pressure dropped a little but the heat stayed consistent.
the rooms were clean and did not smell of cigarettes although there was an ashtray outside our window
- Negatives -
The AC was probably a late 80's early 90's model and is in desperate need of an upgrade - Sadly it was a really hot night and while the AC was a cool savior in the night, the price we paid was a front seat to an industrial engine droning all night long. I have been to Rock gigs that were quieter than the volume of the AC - But even when I cracked it and turned it off, you could still clearly hear the neighbours jet engines preparing for take-off next door. To say I had a restful sleep would be a lie.
The Windowframe in the bathroom was rotted away
There was no stopper/gasket in the sink, to which my toothbrush was an unfortunate victim - Swallowed up and delivered to the bin.
With that said - we got what we paid for. If you are looking for cost-effective accomodation close to the centre of Bega I would 100% recommend you stay here if its not going to be a really hot/cold night. If you have a few coins extra I'd check out other accommodation and check if they had a more modern split-system. It might give you the 8hrs you so desperately seek!
GGuest UserI requested some special request like room in the upstairs and for microwave to the hotel fron trip app. The receptionist mentioned there is no request she can read. She was trying to give room in the ground floor. My request was fulfilled the next day but was unexpected. Overall the room is really nice and service too.
GGuest UserWhat a little gem. We had a friends catch up and stayed here. It's so close to everything. 1 block from the Palm beach ferry, 2 blocks from Ettalong shopping centre. The room was clean and tidy with the usual inclusions of microwave toaster jug, tea and coffee. The beds were very comfortable and the linen was good quality with several pillows so you can choose the one that's right for you. The bathroom is a bit old fashioned, however the shower had plenty of hot water.The accommodation is within the Galleria, a Greek / Italian inspired complex hosting lots of small shops, boutiques, restaurants, galleries, beautiful nick nacks and treasures, cafes and even a hat shop. The complex has it's own movie cinema. After booking in we went to bar Toto. Very fitting with the theme of a bygone era. Comfy old style lounge chairs, dimly lit, old movies on the big screen and great cocktails, however there are several other options if this isn't your scene. We chose to have breakfast at one of the cafe's within the complex. Very good crepes and coffee, then spent some time looking at the many and varied shops. Eric's hat shop is a must. He is so knowledgeable and friendly. He can explain the process of making hats and show you some of the tools used to make hats. It was so much fun trying on hats and taking photos. We grabbed lunch, pizzas and noodles which were both very good, and sat enjoying the live music in the centre of the complex. If you feel like a stroll, there's a concrete walking path along the waterfront from the ferry to Umina. Once you have parked your car, you really don't need to start it again until you are leaving. Enjoy.
GGuest UserThis is a motel hotel. It is clean and has a double bed. However, the freezer door in the refrigerator is broken. It is not cleaned every day. The service attitude is good. There was a short circuit when cooking in the room. The management staff solved it immediately without criticism. The biggest advantage is that it is cheap and close to the town train station, but it is more than 90 kilometers away from Canberra, so travel efficiency is not high. Generally tourists to Canberra should rarely stay at this hotel. The reason why I stayed here was because I couldn't find a hotel with a suitable price in Canberra.
GGuest UserCheck in was great I went out for dinner and when I returned I opened the door to find the complete window frame and window smashed and my belongings scattered everywhere. I raced down to reception to advise the person on the front desk only to be told that there had been a 3 hour blackout at the motel and they were sorry 😡
I had to prompt the receptionist to give me another room which he did then he came up took a look and said let me know if anything is missing & walked away, do I started collecting my things only to find that my TAG heuer watch had been stolen so I lived into room 101 from 107 couldn’t sleep thinking I was going to get burgled the second time. Upon checking out I advised a different receptionist that my watch had been stolen he said we are very sorry but I will talk to management to see what we can offer you that was at 10am this morning and haven’t heard a word from the motel management 🤷♂️ absolutely disgusted
VVicki HughesOverall a good 3 night stay at the Hermitage. Large spacious room, fairly comfortable bed/bedding. Don’t know about aircon/heating as it was not used during our stay.
Unfortunately it is not shown in the online pictures that the hotel is surrounded by commercial facilities on 3 sides and a highway on the 4th.
Great to have a fridge and tea/coffee making facilities as well as a toaster (as breakfast is not offered at the hotel). Unfortunately, though you can cook toast there were no plates or knives supplied to put any butter or spreads on it.
The restaurant meal was great, service was really good, wine list small (inexpensive) but fine.
The whole experience was let down by our final night when we ordered in-house meals from the restaurant at 7.30 and when we called at 9pm to enquire how much longer they would be we were informed our order had been lost. Went to sleep hungry. Attitude over this issue was abysmal.
GGuest UserThe interior and the shower needs to be updated, very old and outdated. The floor in the shower fills up quickly and not running down the drain fast enough which was quite unpleasant to experience. The place needs heating or a heater as it can get quite cold during the winter. The queen bed was comfortable and warm and the room was spacious for 1 person. The reception is friendly and always smiling although it would be good to know in advance if my single bedroom that I booked for another booking so I didn't have to lugged 2 luggages and my handbag with my laptop into up and down the stairs as there are no lifts. I was surprised that a woman knocked on my door at 9:45am that she was ready to get into my room when in the booking, it says check out is 10am. That made check out a very annoying experience for me. The location is great as it's a short walk to the beach and Cronulla centre.
MMjg_the007I recently stayed at Cadell on the Murray Motel and had a very pleasant experience. The location is fantastic, with easy access to the river and beautiful views. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped, providing all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay.
The staff were friendly and accommodating, always available to assist with any requests. The outdoor pool and BBQ facilities were a great touch, and I appreciated the peaceful and relaxed atmosphere of the motel, which made it a perfect retreat after a busy day.
A couple of suggestions for improvement: a few more power outlets in the room for charging devices would be helpful, and the Wi-Fi could be a bit faster in certain areas.
Overall, I would highly recommend Cadell on the Murray Motel to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing stay with excellent service and stunning surroundings. I’ll definitely be coming back
