A good stay
Our room faced the bowls club. The main thing for us is, it was clean. The linen was fresh and the bed was comfortable. The usual amenities were available, microwave, jug, toaster, cutlery, crockery, TV, A/C, ceiling fan. There was a delivery when I went to check-in but the owners were very accommodating and attended to us. Our rooms parking was right out front which made it very convenient.

Surprised and delighted
Surprised and delighted!
Booked this motel primarily as it is pet friendly. And yes our jack russell enjoyed his stay. Great.
But the restaurant exceptional!!! Fine dining on the deck( doggie allowed to come too). Beautiful slow cooked lamb so artistically presented and delicious. Lemon tart. Ooh la la. Will be back!!! Highly suggest stop by on way to Gulf or wherever. Exceptional service and care too

Comfortable & convenient
Basic but comfortable. The rooms are clean & the hotel is conveniently located with an onsite restaurant, close to supermarket, cafe & other shops. Off street parking outside unit. Staff are welcoming. There is a bit of history attached to this hotel with items on display in the reception area. As mentioned there are a few workmen using this hotel so suggests making a reservation for dinner when checking in. (The food & service at the restaurant are both really good - they also do great pizza takeaways)The workmen are very respectful of other guests. (Note: if travelling on to Winton now is a good time to do your laundry ...Winton has smelly bore water)

2020 Road Trip
OUTBACK TRIP - 2020
I’ll use the same intro for all the motels, sites, experiences, scenic spots, restaurants etc we visited on our outback adventure. We travelled well over 4,000 klms over about a fortnight, by car – 3 adults and a Golden Retriever – Archie. I often wonder why Motels that accept dogs don’t do a link. It would be so helpful and be good for business. When you search you always get loads of places that seem to accept dogs – but when you check they say “no” to dogs! Very frustrating.
We stayed in Motels – and Hotel/Motel style Units. Ate in many a restaurant and occasionally at our accommodation (restaurant and used their facilities).
We took beer and scotch with us – so arrived with a cold drink. We visited the John Flynn Museum, the QANTAS Museum, and the Outback Hall of Fame, cruised on the River/Waterhole at Longreach, saw Ghost towns – Mary Kathleen, and mines – Mt Isa. We saw the tree of knowledge in Barcaldine, the historic village in Miles, and the Giant Ant in Augathella. Not to mention dinosaurs, termite mounds, gems and ore, awesome road trains, and long flat beautiful scenery. We also stopped in quaint little towns – Banana, Chinchilla, Theodore, Winton, Bollon, Alfa, Jericho, Blackwater and Blackbutt, Dululu, Woolein, Taroom, Kaimkillenbun, Cooyar, Dalby and Moonie, Westmar, Wyandra, Tambo, Blackall, McKinlay, Mt Isa, Kynuna, Yarraman, and many many more. We saw so many animals – from ‘Roos to Emu families - Eagles and various birds. Archie made many a new friend in most spots we went. We met some lovely people (in the main) and would do it all again.
We found petrol to be well priced and easy to find. Days were warm/hot – nights could be cool – but not freezing. Loads of roadside places to pull up if need be – eg toilets and camp sites. Roads were generally above average – and could be very good. We found the coffee to be “different” so used the “Merlo” site to find good spots. This worked well.
My reviews will be based on the fact that we were in the Aussie outback – NOT a major City and not a Hilton/Marriott style hotel. So a top rating is not a “City” rating. It relates to comfort, size, air/con, beds, shower and general facilities and well-being. Some of the places we stayed did not look that flash – from the front – but provided very good service and accommodation.
All stops provided fridges and free Wi-Fi. Milk and tea/coffee, jugs etc. Also biscuits. Air/con ranged from excellent to noisy – but all stops had it. Some had micro-waves, hair dryers, etc. BUT – a major gripe of mine – most either didn’t have a clock in the room or had one that needed to be set. I like to know the time. Some didn’t have ice – which was a nuisance.
My main tips – book Motels in advance, work out where “your” petrol is (ie BP, Caltex, 91, 95 etc). Petrol was surprisingly “cheap”. Most towns have it all. Book events in advance – eg Qantas Museum, Sunset Cruise etc. Take a small esky with cold water/drinks. Use GPS – but have a good map to get an overall idea of the terrain. Also – take some long-life milk. And, finally, make sure the car is ready – tyres – to right pressure, tuning, suspension etc. You may travel 300klms between towns and 600 klms a day – and there is NOTHING in between some of them – and no phone reception at times. Road trains – 55 metres long are fun and need caution but are usually very courteous. Allow time and don’t take risks on the road.
No need to speed if you allow time. I wouldn’t travel at night – so many ‘Roos. And – watch out for ‘Roos and Emus at all times. Dead or alive. It’s best to go round them rather than over.
AND, watch for eagles. Eagles take longer to get airborne (they sometimes come down to eat dead things).
Cloncurry – Wagon Wheel: We travelled here via Winton (lovely Info Centre) – good road and stayed here for two nights. Mt Isa – an hour away – good road.
We used the Wagon Wheel as a base to visit Mt Isa – about an hour away and visit Mary Kathleen – the ghost town (watch this road VERY carefully here – potholes a mile deep). Air/con was first rate as was shower. Free wifi. Like most motels out here – it was dated but clean and tidy. Restaurant was very good. Car at front door – safe parking. Beds very comfortable and modern.
Andrea and Wayne run a tight ship – safe and quiet. The meals in the restaurant are very good. Big serves and good value. All beer and wine is available at a fair price. Brekkie was awesome – huge meals and a good price. The bangers and mash for dinner was a special winner for me.
Special mention to Andrea – she was the perfect host. Could not help enough. Made sure we fitted in for our 2 night stop and always ensured we were looked after in the restaurant. Provided us with top information and plenty of ice. We would have been happy to stay longer.
