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.

Due to 2025 floods in Townsville we had to adjourn our scheduled visit to hotel from Thursdayn13th Feb to Monday 17th February - it was no problem to owner/manager - more than happy to accommodate and a big relief to us as we travelled home to a flood bound area - thank you Bororen
