    Beautiful town with Saturday market on the first Saturday day of every month next to the Riverside Park. I was there while the market was still on with beautiful people, fun and friendly singer, supportive audiences. And of course, don't skip on the local products which you should go around and you might find something you like inside the market with about 20 stalls. I was lucky enough to catch up on the historical car show just right next to the market and the river. If you drive from Sydney towards Brisbane or reverse, Must be check out this peaceful local town.

    I liked the sports fields where I could do my morning run :). I didn't like the Magpie that kept swooping me as I ran up and down the field :( The RSL serves great food - we had the roast of the day - fantastic

    It's a very pretty town with some nice cafes and restaurants. The Riverside walk is great with many information boards that detail the history of the area. The kids park by the river in town is really good. Parking is easy, and there are clean public toilets next to the park. Lou's cafe is a highlight! We had breakfast, but will also have dinner there next time.

    Slim Dusty Center well displayed of Slim Dusty memorabilia.

    Slim Dusty Center well displayed of Slim Dusty memorabilia. The Center is very clean and coffee in the coffee shop is excellent to my taste. The Crescent head lookout is stunning and the surf beach is amazing.

    We found everyone very friendly. Lots of really lovely little shops as well as four supermarkets. We went out to a different local café each day, and were never disappointed. Beautiful Hat Head beach is only 30 minutes' drive away:)

    Tall timbers caravan park is a little tired but clean and the staff were friendly and suited our overnight stopover. Kempsey is a lovely town with great amenities. We ate at the RSL club overlooking the river the food and service were excellent.

    The only reasons I chose this motel on the way from Brisbane to Sydney is that it was about half way and it accepted dogs. It is an older style, rather run down motel but it would cost a lot to bring it up to first class and there is a lot of competition in Kempsey. It was clean and the bed linen was fine, which is all you really want in a motel. They charged extra for having my small, cavalier in the room but many people, I’m sure do not take good care of their pets or the room.

    The gentleman running the hotel was more than accommodating. My sister forgot her key and he was able to let her in and they were even able to let us check in earlier while my sister got ready for her wedding. We appreciated everything they did for us.

    Good, budget option for travelling up the NSW mid-coast. Older motel but very well maintained and very clean & quiet. We arrived late and Daniel gave us crystal clear instructions on check-in and how to get to our room in the dark.

    For an overnight stop the hotel was 'good enough' - I wouldn't stay there any longer than one night as there are better located & appointed motels near by for the same cost. The receptionist was very pleasant & helpful.
