I walked into reception just after check in time, was informed I had already checked in I said no I’m here to check in. The elderly lady said i think I’ve given your room to someone else. The lady seemed confused and said i have one room left but it’s on the road side. We drove around to the unit was shocked to see a family permanently living in the unit next with 3 young children. The man had tools all around his car the outdoor area was filthy. The language and the arguing was constant up to 11.30pm with children still awake involved in the arguing too. The premises require a overhaul and wouldn’t recommend this motel, it was horrible.
Older-style motel but very clean and well maintained. Staff were lovely and really pleasant to deal with. Great location — close to local shops and hotels, and only about 15 minutes from the main centre of Bundaberg. The room was comfortable with good air con, fans, and daily cleaning. Bonus points for the pool and great outdoor area, plus undercover parking and everything on ground level for easy access. Very reasonable rates — would definitely stay again!
We were comfortable, except for the stools, which were too tall and sharp.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Room was reasonably clean except the ceiling cobwebs. The beds were comfy. Nice range of tea and coffee however going to use the kettle and finding an old hot dog sausage living in there for who knows how long was not cool.

This is a budget motel that is clean and comfortable, I had a microwave and fridge in my room as well as the standard toaster and kettle. My room was close to the road so a bit noisy but not really a problem. Comfy mattress and pillows. I’d stay here again.
The motel was ok, no problem with the toom, but the wifi was non existant , i had to wander down to the first apartment and sit outside holding my phone up to get any signal.
