Great service and friendly welcome. Rooms were very comfortable and it was a really nice, quiet place to relax. There’s a lovely space out the back to relax under a tree and look out over the valley. I would definitely visit again!

The rooms were nice and clean, Netflix is readily available to watch without having to login. The only downside is that there are workers living there and do make noise. Another person in the room next to us was unhooking their trailer at 3:30 in the morning. The owner came looking for us 6:30 in the morning to sort out payment for the second night even though checkout isn’t till 10.

Had a wonderful experience. Competitive pricing. Plenty of amenities including kettle, toaster and microwave. Air conditioned room with TV and WIFI available. Convenient location to travel to Woodgate and Bundaberg and even head to Hervey Bay and Maryborough if needed Downside - hollow walls. Had next door families either side check in at 10 pm; very inconsiderate slamming front door every time they entered in or out of their room in an hour. So yes the sound echoed and all conversations heard. So for the price it’s fair for people in a budget and adequate patience if not you’ll be unhappy with expectations. Moral of the story you get what you pay for

I didn’t like them entering my room for no reason while I was away from my room. Very disappointed. ☹️ Also they stuffed up the dates and ripped me off $125. Sad when you consider I’m on a pension and homeless.
