Manager very kindly offered us a refund when there was an unfortunate but unforseeable issue with the huge and amazing looking spa bath requiring minor maintenance so it could be used.
Room was otherwise clean, tidy, spacious, comfortable and private.
Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. The breakfast menu sounded great.

Good sized queen room, bathroom with shower and toilet, no bath. Tv works fine, plenty of space. Overall, very good for a 3-star motel.
Pool was the best part.

This motel is more quiet than others we’ve stayed at in Gympie, set slightly off the highway. Clean and tidy. Easy check in and check out.
Only real negative was the skylight, lighting up the room.

The room was not the cleanest! The air con was mouldy and there was piles of dust on the walls (stuck to the bare brick wall) I felt like I was staying in a converted garage under Nan’s house! Pillows were hard as rocks. On the bright side the room was massive. And the lady on the front desk was lovely.
It’s super sad to say that this place was the most expensive place I’ve stayed in it cost me $160 and it was not worth it at all. That’s a lot of money for a below average room to use for less than 13 hours! Very disappointed! Shameful to charge that much money to be honest for a tired rundown country motel, you’re not the Hilton!
