Everything was satisfactory. Love the little extras like plates for meals. Bowls would also be awesome for breakfast cereal. The little tray of wash up items under the hand basin was a lovely thoughtful surprise. Bed cover is a bit old and could do with replacing. Also our neighbours were a bit noisy late at night (after 10) and early morning (before 6). Overall a pleasant overnight stay on our way home. What a beautiful sunrise.

Classic 1960's motel with views! An original gem, very well kept. I hope they never change it. It's a North Queensland icon. It's out of town but very handy if you're staying enroute to somewhere else.
