Manager very kindly offered us a refund when there was an unfortunate but unforseeable issue with the huge and amazing looking spa bath requiring minor maintenance so it could be used. Room was otherwise clean, tidy, spacious, comfortable and private. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others. The breakfast menu sounded great.

Good sized queen room, bathroom with shower and toilet, no bath. Tv works fine, plenty of space. Overall, very good for a 3-star motel. Pool was the best part.

This motel is more quiet than others we’ve stayed at in Gympie, set slightly off the highway. Clean and tidy. Easy check in and check out. Only real negative was the skylight, lighting up the room.
