Bororen Motel

What guests think

Bororen Motel is a convenient highway stopover praised for very clean, comfortable rooms, welcoming and helpful managers, and pet-friendly policies that suit road trippers and families passing through on long drives.

Traffic noise from the Bruce Highway is noticeable for some rooms, and a few reviews mention issues like pool condition, shower fittings or TV remotes. Many appreciate the easy access and short walk to the local pub and cafes, though food options can be limited or busy at times. A straightforward stopover suited to road trips rather than a resort style stay.

Great place to stay if you're traveling north, as it's a nice day's driving distance from Brisbane to pull in for the night. Pet friendly, nice clean rooms, and comfortable beds after a long day in the car. Highly recommended!!

The motel staff were very helpful despite my difficult request to check in very early. Housekeeping was hospitable and overall the motel and Bororen itself had a good effect. The weather is warm near the tropics and the motel had a great brand of country charm and hospitality. Highly recommended. Given the remote location amenities themselves are minimal but it's related to the location not the motel itself. A great driver reviver and nice and quiet except for the highway but that can't be helped. Clears the mind to stay somewhere so sparsely populated but with a well-stocked petrol station and cafe nearby. Miriam Vale and Agnes Water Beach are also nearby. It has got a pool to cool off in.

Look, I don't like leaving negative reviews. These folks are trying to run a business. And the room was clean and comfortable. However the pool was a murky green science experiment, not a welcome dip after a long day on the road. There were no instructions on how to get the two TV remotes to talk to one another. There was no hot water, which was a real pain. And there were no power points anywhere near the bedhead. This place was definitely not terrible, but at the price I wouldn't stay here again.
