Wonderful!

Stayed for 3 nights and i loved the motel. Had everything you needed, Garry the host was great! Good location close to the Heritage Villiage and a short 20 min drive to Capricorn Caves. Has a supermarket just down the road and food options a short drive away. Would stay again.

The room was a really good size, though the double bed is not comfortable for two people. The location is great, off the Highway heading north out of Rockhampton and parking is very good, with high clearance, outside the room. We ate at the on site restaurant and the meal was quite good.
