I would definitely recommend the Henry Parkes Motel. We stopped here on route to Brisbane, the family room we booked was very clean with everything you needed. The team at Henry Parkes Motel were very lovely and extremely helpful. The museum, shops and restaurants are all just a few minutes walking distance away. This place was recommended to us by friends.
