What Guests Say About Their Stay

Older-style motel but very clean and well maintained. Staff were lovely and really pleasant to deal with. Great location — close to local shops and hotels, and only about 15 minutes from the main centre of Bundaberg. The room was comfortable with good air con, fans, and daily cleaning. Bonus points for the pool and great outdoor area, plus undercover parking and everything on ground level for easy access. Very reasonable rates — would definitely stay again!

I walked into reception just after check in time, was informed I had already checked in I said no I’m here to check in. The elderly lady said i think I’ve given your room to someone else. The lady seemed confused and said i have one room left but it’s on the road side. We drove around to the unit was shocked to see a family permanently living in the unit next with 3 young children. The man had tools all around his car the outdoor area was filthy. The language and the arguing was constant up to 11.30pm with children still awake involved in the arguing too. The premises require a overhaul and wouldn’t recommend this motel, it was horrible.
