Tally Ho Motor Inn

Loved the fact there was a security gate for vehicular entrance to the parking area.

Our overall experience was quite good with the traffic noise kept waking us up.

Stayed at the Motor Inn for two nights in the middle of the dreadful fires.The New England Highway was closed both north and south also the Bruckner Highway was closed, so we were trapped. The motel looked after us and cooked our dinner the first night. The room was great with all amenities (TV, Foxtel, large refrigerator and microwave). It was very clean and a comfortable large bed. The is one of several times we have stayed here and can't praise the managers enough, and they kept us informed about the fires while looking after a large number of fire fighters.

I stayed here for 1 night on a weekend trip away. The plan was to check out Girraween National Park & do some hiking & maybe visit a winery or 2. Tally Ho was a great choice - it was only 25 minutes from Girraween NP (where I did hikes both days) & I wanted to cross the border into NSW for the first time since Covid and stay for a night. $99 was great value for a double room that included an electric blanket (much needed - it was 3 degrees!) & free continental breakfast brought to your room. The room was small but cosy & there were only 2 other cars behind motel rooms so it was nice & quiet. There was a security gate with key access so I felt safe. It was only a 2 minute drive into Tenterfield town centre (where I walked past Barnaby Joyce’s office!). I had dinner in town at Commercial Boutique Hotel that night & the next day drove into town for coffee and then up to Mt Mackenzie Lookout. Tip - Watch your speed once you get over the QLD border as there is a camera just before you come into town and it’s only 50km an hour & after 2 hrs plus going 100km/hr it’s hard to slow down to what feels like a snail pace by comparison

Would recommend this motel to anyone wanting cleanliness and friendliness. Well appointed and safe with a electric door to enter complex. You can order pizzas and alcohol for dinner in your room. Very convenient for the tired traveller. ✅

We were part of a travelling group and booked three rooms. The motel is further from the town centre than most of the others. The "budget" rooms are older and small, smaller than an average motel room, but also cheaper. Quite good for single travellers, a bit small for a couple. The newer rooms are a good size, with a queen and single bed and a couch. All rooms had crockery, toaster, microwave. Very comfortable, clean. Happy to stay here again.
