“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 I stayed at the Royal Hotel Tenterfield for three nights and was very impressed. The hotel offers a mix of motel and hotel rooms, and my newly renovated balcony room was excellent—modern, clean, quiet, and with a great ensuite. The balcony overlooked the main street and was a fantastic place to relax. The pub downstairs serves great meals with generous portions—classic pub favourites like steaks, schnitzels, and burgers. The beers were cold with a good variety on tap. Staff at reception and behind the bar were friendly, helpful, and efficient. As a motorcycle rider, this was an ideal place to stay. There’s plenty of parking and good security around the property. The area is also perfect for day rides, with lots of great trails nearby. Highly recommend the Royal Hotel Tenterfield for comfort, value, and great hospitality.”
“Sharon is a great host. She and her husband took a big bet buying and renovating this property during COVID and they’ve done a great job. The rooms are great, the food in the restaurant is very good - we had a fantastic time”
“We did not stay here, but decided we would have dinner for Valentines day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Whilenwe waited for our dinner reservation, in the restuarant they had live music, and a great atmosphere. Barely any seats available! Was a packed house! Cool beergarden out back, pretty! Got in for dinner, decided what we wanted to eat...Pay at front counter. Order two of the rib eyes...meduim. mine came back over cooked, was really dissapointed for $50.00 bucks each we paid, as we were staying in town from the Gold Coast and thought Steak would be so much better. I didnt complain, as they were so busy but yes, dissapointed! Drinks pricing was quiet good, definately reccomend the Granite Belt wine selection!”
“We couldn’t recommend The Royal highly enough! From the time we arrived, the room was lovely with a great en-suite. We enjoyed a delicious meal and slept perfectly!! The staff were so friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay again in a heartbeat.”
“My wife and I stayed 2 nights to go hiking and explore the Tenterfield area, super impressed with the hotel’s location to walk anywhere around town. Both owners work in the business to ensure your stay, from the rooms, the food, service is first class. Upstair rooms were lovely. Go and see for yourself.”
“Went for dinner on Sunday night 4/1/26 and was blown away. From the lovely man at the bar who let us try the great range of craft beers, to the lady handling accommodation who took me around and explained the history of the pub. We ordered 4 entrees and all were amazing, we had fries , wings, brie in honey and chrorizo and prawns. Finished it all and would come back. Oh and best of all we were able to bring our dog for dinner”
“The management was so accommodating, I both booked and arrived late they left the keys in the lock box and the lights on for me, it felt very welcoming. Room was incredibly clean and I slept very well, It turns out to be close to a couple of really cool attractions. Motel is set back from the street so no noise and safe carport right in front of my door. The room had nice amenities, I definitely recommend it.”
