Welcome to The Phoenix, where history and rejuvenation meet in the heart of Moree. Previously known as the Dragon Phoenix Motel and Chinese Restaurant, the resort came under new ownership and management in July 2024. Recognising the strong foundation laid by the previous owners, the new leadership is committed to further enhancing the guest experience and taking the resort to new heights.
Our mission is straightforward: to honour the rich heritage of our property while introducing modern, innovative ideas that create a relaxing and welcoming space for both travellers and locals. You’ll often find our team around town, engaging in local events and supporting community activities, as we believe in being an active part of Moree’s vibrant culture.
Vision
Our vision is to establish The Phoenix as the premier choice for both tourists and professionals passing through or staying in Moree.
Through our revitalisation efforts, we aim to expand our customer base, welcoming new visitors as well as loyal patrons to explore the rich history and unique benefits of our hot artesian springs. Our goal is to combine the charm of small-town life with top-quality facilities, providing an unrivalled experience for all guests.
We distinguish ourselves in a competitive market by offering a range of high-quality accommodations, including self-contained apartments and rooms with spas, all at affordable rates. Whether for long or short stays, we are committed to creating a welcoming environment that reflects the region’s unique character and appeal.
