Great location, short drive to town if needed. Close to highway but very low road noise. Motel with a lot of potential.

I rarely write reviews and sometimes wonder about the validity of such reviews but I would caution travelers booking this property. It is a run down motel and dirty. There are signs on the counters warning guests about bugs. A can of Raid spray was left in the cupboard next to dirty cutlery. Several roaches were crawling on the walls. We left and had to drive an hour back to find a property to stay at as everything was booked. It was raining and it is North Queensland but these bugs were in the room. I told the manager and she said there shouldn’t be any bugs since she sprayed before we arrived. Not acceptable to ask guests to stay in a room like that. Then she wanted to know if we left the door open and the roaches flew into the room. We did not. I asked for some type of refund and she said Orbitz would have to initiate that. I contacted Orbitz and was given the run around that the property manager didn’t approve a refund and they couldn’t do anything. Not what I would expect from a property listed on this site. Very disappointing.

We were greated with a friendly hullo on arrival. The motel was on the HWY but building set back and noise wasn't too bad at all.The room was spacious, clean and had everything that was needed. The only complaint would be that we couldnt get hot water in the morning. A big open space behind rooms was nice to be able to look out too.

Comfortable bed friendly staff, good value. TV might need an upgrade. On off button doesn't work very well.

The staff were incredibly helpful and the room was great, neat and tidy. The fridge was very noisy, both of the doors were very hard to open or close. We arrived in the dark and because of very confusing signs we almost left think we had the wrong place.

Thanks for having us

Right on the Bruce Highway so easy if you are continuing on it. Only a short drive into town if you need to go there. Nice staff (owners?) You can (just) hear the trucks passing but it's by no means troublesome. Room showed its age but was clean and spacious. Completely satisfied with my one-night choice.

Good value for money. Clean and despite being next the highway was quiet.

TWO big beds was excellent!!!! Not every group of two people is a couple who wish to sleep together. Clean sheets, comfortable bed and pillows. Last minute booking with easy late checkin. No hairdryer.

Excellent property with large, airy, clean rooms and located conveniently off the highway. Quiet and nice green surrounds. I would definitely stay here again !
