What guests think

At Capricorn Motel & Conference Centre, travellers highlight its convenient highway location for stopovers, generally clean, spacious rooms, easy parking outside units, and a small pool and gardens that make short stays straightforward and restful.

Guests often find staff friendly and check-in easy, though after-hours responses and early check-in flexibility can be unreliable. Room comfort is decent for the price but some units feel dated and face maintenance issues like tricky patio-door locks, leaking air conditioning, or occasional noise. On-site dining earns praise for dinners, while breakfast tends to be simple continental supplies rather than a full service. Overall, expect a convenient, value-focused stopover with basic comforts.

Motellet ligger et godt stykke uden for det gamle Rockhampton og den hyggelige bydel, men tættere på malls. Byen er slidt og det er dette motel bestemt også. Morgenmaden kunne man hente i receptionen om morgenen. Smør og marmelade lå i værelset og brødet var pakket i plastik og frossent. Der er en lille swimmingpool, men ingen stole man kan ligge i. Men et motel er et motel og man kan ikke forvente et hotel. Det gjorde vi nok, eftersom der også stod konferencecenter.

Rooms were clean and spacious. Staff were great. Grounds were lovely. There was a lot of construction in the area and this caused for a lot of silt in the pool. This was the only drawback but I am sure will be short lived.

The room was ok, but there was a gurgling/water sound that kept happening- thought it was the air con, but it happened even when air con was off. There was a dead bug on the floor when I checked in - Room was serviced 3 times in my stay and the bug never removed. Pool was nice but didn’t seem to get cleaned in the 5 days I was there. Got pretty dirty towards the end. Had to wait 5-10 mins to check in as staff member was busy working in the bar.

Advertised as having a BBQ - it didn’t work & there was no utinsils (tongs even) to use. Had microwave in room but no dishes to use in it, asked kitchen if I could borrow a bowl to make some pasta - they don’t loan out kitchenware. Ended up having to buy dinner off site as we couldn’t cook what we’d bought initially. The room was comfy & bathroom clean but no condiments (shampoo, conditioner etc) in them, luckily we had our own. Can’t say we’d stay again..

The room was ready but yet he still charged us and extra $25 to check in early Also made a point of making sure we checked out on time the next day Just didn’t find that ‘welcoming’ or accommodating

Conveniently located just off the highway for north-south travel, with easy access and generally quiet surroundings away from the town center. Roadworks and the out-of-town setting are noted, but access to the Heritage Village and shops is a plus.
