Can highly recommend - The room/bathroom was immaculately clean, bed very comfy, adequate cutlery, microwave, mini fridge stocked with bottled water and small milk cartons. Coffee sachets were Moccona! The lovely Reception guy was very accomodating to my needs - I had a stuffed knee so couldn’t use steps, so he happily changed my room to ground floor. Can’t comment on the pool as I didn’t use it. Will def stay again next time :)

Perfect for a short stay in Maryborough. We really enjoyed our stay and had a great sleep both nights due to the bedroom being so dark.
