We have stayed in Maryborough many times, this was the first time we stayed in the Kimba Lodge, it was in our opinion by far the best we have stayed in, we will be staying at Kimba Lodge in future visits. The usual inconvenience we found was the contract workers staying in motels across Maryborough, they all come in large 4x4 vehicles and some of there parking ability needs to be questioned, particularly when most parking on these facilities is limited, this is not to say there was any issues with the actual workers, never heard a sound, well except early in the morning when they left for work. But overall Kimba Lodge was a great motel.

Staff were amazing and accommodating when i unexpectedly needed an extra bed, bringing a mattress down. Location was only a 5-10 min drive to places we needed with pub next door for dinner. We stayed during the week and it wasnt rowdy. Parking could be an issue if motel was full but we were told we could park next door if needed. Air con was cold and a welcome relief from the disgusting humidity
