Room was on the top floor and was large and well presented with a small balcony overlooking the bush. Bed was very comfortable and bathroom clean with a spacious shower.
It was a lovely 3 day break. We took long walks in the mornings and sat on our balcony had coffee a real pleasure to be there. Took a walk down the long Jetty which was lovely.
Although Oysters were our main reason for coming here unfortunately only in their shells were available and we couldn't shuck them so we missed out. Never mind the RSL Bowls club had lovely meals and we ate there each night. We would stay there again in a flash.

Overpriced for what it was.
Overpriced for what it was.
No window for fresh air, you have to leave the sliding door open ( lucky it actually locked.)
A room for 4 guests, we did book for 2…had 4 towels but only 1 washer.
Only water supply for kettle was the bathroom sink.
4 glasses, 4 tea/ coffee cups & tea spoons supplied nothing else…so even if we wanted to use the toaster supplied there was no other cutlery or crockery.
Small coffee plunger supplied with about a tea spoon of ground coffee- not enough for even 1 cup.
1 little pack of long life milk for 2 people for the night & morning- lucky I had my own supply.
Bed was comfy.
Will not be returning

We found the cabins large and clean and beds very comfortable, heating and cooling was perfect, TVs reception was great and it was very quiet considering we were next to the hwy. Bathrooms were of an average size and towels and linen were supplied.

Easy checkin and checkout service.
We unfortunately had noisy neighbours who sat outside our door till late chatting and again before 7am were outside with their kids. Showers from adjoining rooms were noisy, but the actual room and amenities were perfect for the night. Not much in town to do except head to the rsl for a meal, which was great!
I would stay there again.

Accommodation is in a small town but all the conveniences are close and easy especially with meal times for families including bakery, grocery store, cafes and local club for dinner. Karuah isnt far away from Nelson Bay, Newcastle and Hunter Valley its a great base to start your day trips. It is also very close to activities for kids like the Oakvale Wildlife Park, Hunter Valley Gardens. The entertainment at the Big 4 is also enough to entertain kiddies if you want a relaxing time without the travel each day. Onsite facilities more suited to small kids. Karuah is really more of a base as activities outside accommodation were not as entertaining for my kids.

Karuah is a delightful community, now of the Pacific Highway. it’s the perfect place for a stopover. Every level of accommodation facilities, family friendly eateries, and very friendly folk. Csmping, fishing, boating, walking..plenty to do for everyone.
We stayed for 2 nights at the Riverside while exploring the Port Stephens area. Lisa was very friendly and informative about where to go and what to see. There's a small shop opposite the hotel and the room has a fridge, microwave and kettle so we had all we needed for breakfast which we ate in the sunshine at the table and chairs on the small patio outside our room. The water pressure was great and the bed was very comfortable. I really recommend a stay here.
The rooms were excellent and extremely clean. The deluxe villas are completely brand new and superb. The family villa is bigger than the deluxe villa and well maintained. There were plenty of activities for kids and family. The Jetty was good to explore. Totally satisfied with the stay and the kids loved their 2 days stay. The staffs were very friendly. One point to note - Karuah is 50 mins drive from Nelson bay
I love our villa. It was a nice space for our family. The villa is near to the jetty so in the morning we only walk a little and enjoy the sunrise. The kids facilities are wonderful. My kids enjoyed our stay a lot. We would love to come back again. Also the villa is very tidy and neat. The kitchen and bathroom are newly renovated so clean and nice to stay. Thumbs up!
New cabin, pet friendly, very comfortable beds, linen, pillows, competitive price, extremely clean, we were very happy with our stay. It was a little bit middle of nowhere but we were aware of this. Staff friendly, convenience store on site & well priced.
We have stayed at the Karuah Motor Inn once a year for the last 5 years and we find it most comfortable. Close to the RSL for dinner and near the IGA and the bottlo. We had to go to Tea Gardens on the Saturday so it was only a 15 minute drive there.
Location - right opposite IGA, Cafe and Bottle Shop, and 50 yards to the Karuah RSL.
The room was more than adequate, the king bed was wonderful, however the shower was not as good as it could have been, but not a major issue - and parking was great.
Kitchen facilities helped alot with reducing costs and preparing meals rather than buying food especially with kids. Location great for activities with nearby attractions with kids. kids also loved onsite entertainment.
This place is a gem, having never heard of Karuah before we were very pleasantly surprised to arrive at a beautifully appointed cabin in a lovely setting. the extra bonus was a king size bed, We felt quite at home.
We loved staying at the Big4 karuah jetty, from the pool, jumping pillows, the go karts, especially the go karts! I would definitely book and stay again 😁
