Overnight to somewhere

We had an over night stay on our way to Carnarvon Gorge. The Laurels was such a pleasant surprise very homely and welcoming. Received an upgrade to room on the creek which had an outdoor bath. If had more time would have used it to take in the serenity. We loved it.

The Laurels is quirky and unique. Our cabin was very clean and cosy. It was handy having a cafe so close, and their food being very good. It was within walking distances to 'The Club' hotel which offered everything you needed, and excellant service. Lea from 'The Laurels' was a perfect host. She responded quickly to all messages, and was warm, friendly and inviting. My partner and I enjoyed our 2 night stay in Chinchilla very much

Needed a short getaway and The Laurels come highly recommend by a friend. Our room was comfortable and clean. The surroundings very unique. Loved walking around the grounds. The staff very obliging, even an open umbrella waiting at our door to walk to breakfast in the rain. Felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay.

Hidden Gem in Chinchilla

Nice comfortable rooms, very rustic made with heaps of reclaimed materials. Was very cool. Was an amazing little table down by the river to sit at and have a drink. Mosquitos were thick but were surprised to see the rooms had mosquito coils supplied free to use outside. Little bit of highway noise faint in the background when outside but not an issue from inside from the room we were in. Rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable. It was very hot and our aircon worked really hard to keep the room cool. Would definitely stay again.
