Any suggestions for car-friendly accommodation for a weekend away from Sydney?

In the 11 years of GG and 3 years of GAD O/night parking in multiples of various accommodations, I have never heard of any thuggery done to any vehicle.....unless it was done by the owner..
I have just returned from a,nearly 8000klms run with a bunch of blokes,when I'm on the road to any of those events I generally stay in country/outback pubs...the only damage done is to my voicebox in describing,chatting,letting folk take pics with or without their kids behind the wheel(with the keys out!) and generally gasbagging about the car.

A lot of folk are pretty anal about your subject but if you don't act like a dik then all the attention you and the car will get is respect.

I think you'll find that should be the case with any other responder.

 

I'm always comfortable with the Grand Hyatt in Canberra.

Also comes back to what style roads you wish to Travel.?

 

^^^^^^^

Never had an issue with parking at any "decent" accommodation with off road parking

 

I've stayed at all of these & can recommend, Goonoo Goonoo Station is wonderful place near Tamworth, you won't have issue with vandalism park outside your cottage, Ovolo Hotel in Canberra undercover parking & no issue vandalism, The Long House in the Hunter Valley only 3 suites so no issues, Pepper Tree Hill Luxury Farm Stay in Mudgee, park outside your cottage.

 

I agree with this entirely. Most people are actually good people. Just be sensible and don’t leave it in a McDonalds or KMart car park overnight.

Having said that, Ultimate Driving Tours was planning one of their trips to Ooralba Estate (5 star accom) on NSW South coast, so their parking is probably good if the UDT guys were going there. That might fit the bill for a trip for you

Decent you say,I've parked both the Morgan and 370(twice) out front of the Commercial pub Clermont.
I parked the E Type(twice),330 and 308(twice) out the back of the Irish Village pub Emerald.
The 330 was also parked out the back of a pub in Roma once.
The 365 has a plaque where it parks out the back of the Exchange Kilcoy!

When I say out the back,it's open parking without any gating....except the Irish which does have gates that are closed/opened at a specific time.
There have been many other locations up and down the East coast where my various cars have waited for me to sober up ....never ever had an incident,except for the horse voice.,,,no not for THAT reason Greg!

 

The Quest serviced apartments scattered around the country generally have good secure parking, which you pay extra for. May be undercover or outside. Needs key access to enter, both through the driveway gate and down the lift. The outside ones generally have high secure fencing, spotlit with security cameras. Most, but not all of them, have this. You need to book it when you make a reservation,

These are used by a lot of travelling tradies and engineers etc. A lot of them have 30k or more worth of tools sitting in the back of their utes. That is a much more likely target for lowlife bogans in country towns than a sports car That is why the Quest hotels have the parking, to attract the people who need security for their work vehicles. The apartments are pretty good too, not 5 star hotel, but often the best place in a country town.

 

This^^^

Gotta remember 'ours' aren't GTHO's,XU1's,SLR 5000's or RT 6Packs..^^^^^ lot couldn't give a stuff about wankers in European sports cars.

 

Billionaires in billion dollar cars.

 

In another car i stayed at a quest hotel and they just had a track for the gate installed to the carpark
The dynabolts were poking up and it popped my front bumper off and caused $3-5k of damage from memory and it broke it and a few other pieces

They didnt offer anything despite it being there fault
Car wasnt lowered either

I dont stay at quest any more lol

I would just stay at a house with garage if that concerned

 

Didn't someone have "wanker" written on their car one night when it was parked at a hotel?

 

Only because that personalised plate was already taken.

East Hotel Canberra.

The Ferrari Club has used this as the base for the last 2 National rallies held in Canberra. In 2013, at our request, prior to our first booking the owners of the Hotel had the driveway entrance to the underground carpark re-curved with concrete planer to ensure that the Ferraris wouldn't scrape entering/leaving the hotel.
