Wentworth Grande Resort Motel

Outback NSW


This large motel attached to the even larger former Wentworth Services Club – empty since filing for bankruptcy in 2015 – feels somewhat lonely in its prime riverfront position, despite having friendly staff and being well maintained. For a taste of luxury, stay in the oversized suite with riverview terrace, if you can.
