Grafton stays and rooms are both comfortable and affordable here at Grafton Central Motel. Local attractions are abundant and highly accessible from our location. One of Australia’s most majestic waterways, the Clarence River is a dominant feature in Grafton’s landscape and lifestyle. Visitors travel from all over the world to compete in dragon boat sail and power boat racing, as well as the Head of the River rowing regatta in December and one of Australia’s premier water skiing events, the famous Bridge Ski Race in October each year. See our Grafton attractions events below for more information.

You can also explore the river at a more sedate pace by hiring a boat or canoe. Or you can enjoy a birds eye view as you use the pedestrian foot bridge to cross the famous and historic “Bendy Bridge”; an historic engineering marvel built in 1932.
