This is a nice motel I stayed at while dropping children off for boarding school. The staff were very friendly and professional and the room I booked had 2 rooms which was great. A little dated in the decor but comfortable enough. At the time I was there we had a corner room and the internet didn't work well out... More

We had a poor experience of a hotel in Charters Towers which resulted in us having to move late one evening in November 2012 into the Cattleman's. We were treated with total care, professionalism and understanding by the staff. Dinner was held for us so we could relax after our bad experience and nothing could be too much trouble for... More

The motel room was of a good size, fitted out with a nice table and chairs as well as a lounge. The motel is reasonably close to town, about a 15 minute walk. There is a steak restaurant on site but we didn't eat there but seems to be very popular. The hotel was a good price for its star... More

I stayed her in Nov 2012 and earlier in 2012. My recent trip was as good as the first. The motel is located close to town and easy to find. The service is always brilliant - very friendly and able to assist with good local knowledge. The room had a large comfortable bed and all the basic that I needed... More

What a shabby experience this was!! Never again would I stay at this motel. Just look at the furniture. The restaurant experience was similar, steaks tough, vegetables cold and uncooked and $35 a steak to tope it off. The room price $125.00. Can you believe it! The caretakers need a scrub up, covered in tattoos and piercings and rude at... More

Friendly people at this motel just outside the town centre. The room is fine but slightly outdated. The lights in the bathroom were fallen down so probably some attention needed. But it is clean and you can get a cold beer at the reception so was happy. The restaurant though is not recommended. I had one of the specials for... More

At last an update to the menu! Good selection of steaks etc. unfortunately the good piece of eye fillet that I received was over cooked by the use of iron / sizzle plate. Rooms comfortable though a bit basic. Friendly service.

Room was ok, clean but impossible to fill the electric jug from the wash basin. Had to use the shower? No toster facility. Went to the restaurant and found the service was bad, was asked 3 times over an hour if I wanted a drink, and I kept saying it was ordered but it never arrived until the meal was... More

Badly in need of maintenance. No sleep all night walls paper thin. Breakfast cold. When we complained we were physically threatened. Will never go back or recommend. Worst hotel ever. Do not stay there
