Guest Reviews

• Warwick (10/5): -
• Joan (10/5): Very comfortable and restful. Lively and quiet. - Easy access, ftiendly staff, great amenities. Would highly recommend. Everything
• Casey (7/5): Really enjoyed it and would say again as it helped to break up a long day of driving for us. - The room was all we needed and was surprisingly quiet given the proximity to the main highway. The staff were very friendly and the meal was excellent - great food and great value. We didn't like the bathroom as it was set up for disabled access guests and the shower spread water all over the floor of the bathroom which made it a little messy.
• Melinda (1/5): - Turned up and no room available
• steve (9/5): - Quiet and clean rooms
• Alison (8/5): So good to get off that highway on a dark early evening and to be able to enjoy the facilities that were provided. Many - It was great to have the hotel attached. We had dinner in the dining room. Best Chicken Parmi that we’ve had in a long time and great steak. Pleasant helpful staff.
• Sarah (7/5): - This is the perfect place to stop when travelling North or South along the Bruce Highway. The beds are comfortable, the rooms are quiet and the food at the pub is awesome.

• Ben (1/5): Worst communication I have experienced in over 30 years of travel - We didn’t get to stay at the property. Despite calling half a dozen times over a few days and requesting a call back (on each occasion I was told by the Bar staff that only the manager could help but the manager was always ‘in town’), messaging them though Booking.com and Facebook, the manager never called back or responded to my messages. I was told that you can only call during pub hours (ie after 11am) and emails are not checked on weekends as the office is closed. Even though this is for accomodation with a weekend checkin. Overall, this is the worst communication/ experience I have had with a hotel/ motel/ b&b etc in over 30 years of travel. Just completely stonewalled. For this reason, I am giving a one star and cannot recommend this accomodation. That being said, I have no reason to believe that the actual accomodation is not as good as others (who were able to stay) have reviewed. But the communication I experienced was absolutely terrible.

• Russo (8/5): Very nice stay -
• Ken (8/5): Have stayed here many times travelling via Bruce highway Brisbane to Airlie Hbeach. Good great - Great location right on Bruce highway. Steak the best Ok
• Debbie (9/5): Bororan Gem - This is the second time staying here. Great location, exceptionally clean, cold AC, cold beer, good meals, great prices, friendly staff. Being picky the bed was a little hard, but we slept well.
• Ashley (9/5): Pub was great, rooms clean and tidy. Staff excellent. - The rooms had been updated. The food at the pub was excellent. The staff friendly and welcoming. Pool could have done with a clean
• Rona (8/5): - Good location. Spacious room. Good bed.
• Michelle (9/5): Great place to stay except for room number mix up - It is located on highway but noise level was very low. Room clean Our room wasnt ready when we arrived. There was no one on the premises to check us in. Room left unlocked for us but other travellers claimed we were in their room as they were given our room number. As we were unpacked they chose next room.
• Carole (8/5): -
• Kev (9/5): -
• Jo Ann (6/5): - Hotel food was very good Air con in unit 6 was not working properly leading to an extremely hot uncomfortable night Room had a strong disinfectant smell throughout which was very overpowering
• Steve (10/5): -
• Bradd (8/5): -
• Paul (7/5): Nice place but terrible service - Room was very clean and comfortable Ordered my dinner , same as last time to be sent to my room Asked for some extra gravy as last time in a little paper container that would hardly cover a quarter of my crumb steak and a lady behind the counter said no you have to pay three dollars more wasn’t very pleasant about it. I’ve never had gravy anywhere else in a container that small And surely 2 tablespoons of extra gravy would not have hurt them considering they’re charging a reasonable price for the stock. A silly little thing like that has put me off staying there and if I was to write a review, I would say so. The line was very hard that I had to pay extra for 2 tablespoons of gravy of three dollars which is ridiculous. Do you want to look after your customers who she knew was staying in their motel?

• Fiona and Ian (7/5): - Comfortable Nil

• Philip (8/5): Perfectly good to break our drive. - Clean neat motel, good place to break a long drive. The motel had no eating/dining facilities and there wasn't much to be had in the little town.
• Michael (10/5): Great place to stay. - Clean, neat and tidy.
