The Alluna Motel, an Ascend Collection Hotel  

Just off Armidale’s CBD, this family-run motel sits a short walk from Saints Mary & Joseph Catholic Cathedral and the Aboriginal Cultural Centre & Keeping Place. New England Regional Art Museum, Armidale Plaza Shopping Centre and local attractions are all within a kilometre. It’s only minutes by car to Armidale Railway Station and around an 8-minute drive to Armidale Airport, with the University of New England a quick drive away.

Twenty air-conditioned rooms keep things simple and comfy, with premium bedding, flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities and irons. Private bathrooms include complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, and microwaves are available on request. Business King Rooms add stand-up desks for working travellers. The vibe is friendly and unpretentious — personalised, family-run service with local tips on nearby vineyards and outdoor spots.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or fire up the BBQ grills for a relaxed evening. Free self-parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi keep logistics easy. On-site laundry and ironing services make longer stays simple, and a garden area offers a quiet spot to unwind.
