Close to river

It’s old building, would have b en mint 30-40 years ago , but it’s a bit old but all of Kempsey is old, run down but there’s a general toxic vibe over all of Kempsey

Location, great view and peaceful

10.0

I liked the back of the room walked out onto the grass overlooking the river. You can see the river from your door and it was very quiet. Also liked Netflix Stan ect we’re logged in and you could use. Location was good could walk into town.

Needs a good clean. A bit busy. Found a random pill on the floor bedside the bed. But if you don’t look too closely it was pretty clean and we enjoyed our stay.

It was simply a one-night stay, and I will stay there again.
