A great choice!
A great choice for a stay in Maryborough ! I loved the little things like the aircon on for my arrival in a hot day, bottles of cold water in the fridge. Comfy bed, nice white fluffy towels, washes. I couldn’t fault our stay.

I'd stay again
Short only overnight stay. Motel was easy to find but difficult to enter coming in from the south side as road was narrow and busy - turning right across traffic into the property was difficult. Maybe owners should advertise best to enter from the north. Room was clean and comfortable. Bedding okay but single nneded new mattress. Checkin was easy and staff were welcoming.

As always Extremely helpful and friendly at reception. Very flexible with check in and check out. Clean and tidy. Only con I have noticed is parking sometimes when the motel is busy can be a little bit challenging.

Clean and spacious. Would stay again.
Single night stay. Key was left in the night safe with easy instructions texted through. Room was clean and surprisingly spacious and well apointed. Driveways somewhat narrow and could be a challange to larger vehicles. Would stay again
