Great Northern Hotel
Restaurant
👍👍 Stopped in on our way from brisbane to hobart for dinner and a few drinks. Honestly one of the best pub meals I think I've ever had. Do yourself a favour and try the scotch fillet.

Kempsey Powerhouse Motel
Motel
👍👍 Travelling with my 94yo mother, so suitable bathroom, comfortable beds, and plenty of space are important. Powerhouse Motel ticks all the boxes. Not only that, they provided a toilet seat with handles (why don't all motels have one of these? Most toilets are too low for people with a disability). T...

Fairway Lodge Motel
Motel
😠 Unfortunately our experience was slightly different from the other reviews. I'll start with the positives, the customer service was excellent, it is in a good location and was exceptionally clean.
Now the negatives,
It does not have all the items that it show in the picture.
I booked it because of t...

Kempsey Showground
Community center
👍 Another great showground. Lots of room for travellers. Only down side was the charge for each child - all other Showgrounds have been a flat fee per site. Still cheaper than caravan park, so I shouldn't complain!!! A beautiful area!

Montem Hub Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 This is Kempsey's hidden gem!
Gorgeous cafe with a green leafy back drop. Highly recommend taking the detour off the highway. So worth it for specialty coffee and good food! Love the smoothies as well.

Yarrahapinni Lookout
Scenic spot
👍👍 Spectacular views. The road up can be a bit rough so if you have a 2WD low vehicle take extra care. The road is also quite narrow and there is wildlife so please slow down. We almost hit a Lyrebird and we were going steady.

Yarralen Retreat
Serviced accommodation
👍👍 The birds sing all day, combined with a rainforest surrounding this is pretty special. The yoga deck has a beautiful vibe. My room was full of art and beautiful objects. The owners and staff are so friendly.
This is not a hotel, this is their home.

Macleay Valley Coast Visitor Information Centre - Kempsey
Tourist information center
😠 We had intended to enter but didn't go into the centre because we needed to use a toilet first, and found the amenities to be so disgusting that we left immediately. It's a bloody poor show for the local community. You expect tourists to be interested in supporting the place ? They won't if the toil...

Netherby House
Bed & breakfast
🫤 A beautiful B&B located in the heart of Kempsey. The owner goes out of her way to look after you, but unfortunately the rooms are run down and the entire building needs an urgent update. Well past its prime.
