I stayed here for a couple of nights and was very comfortable. The service was outstanding, and the rooms are clean. The bed was comfortable and was nice to sleep on. Will certainly stay here again next time I'm in Innisfail.

My husband and I stayed here on our recent holiday. We had just had a very long day of traveling so when we finally arrived it was lovely to receive such a warm welcome. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable. Overall we were very impressed and would definitely recommend and stay at this motel again.

I had planned to stay at the barrier reef for a week but had to cut my stay short for personal reasons. However, I was dissapointed to leave. The rooms are clean and although basic, they have everything you need. Most importantly the beds are very comfortable and the shower is wonderful! The little restaurant is nice and the staff... More

I was lucky enough to book in the night before I arrived and managed to grab their last room. Over the phone, the Motel Manager was friendly and informative, checking I had no problem with stairs and confirming they had internet. All my details were double checked and when I arrived for chedk in, everything was spot on. The room... More

Perhaps other reviewers have not stayed at many motels along the considerably remote north east coast, but I have and this was by far the best. Staff were at reception when I dropped in with no booking due to bad weather around 9pm. I was amazed. I was scared and upset and was made comfortable by a complete stranger. I... More

This room was very basic and had a very old- school feel. Pretty creepy place at night being right next door to a cemetery (we could see it from our window). The service however was friendly and no ghosts that we saw. Nice and clean, but just very old. Room offered breakfast service. Good parking right outside your room.

We appreciate your comments and respect your views on the location of the motel across the road from Innisfail's Cementary. Unfortunately, we are unable to do anything about this and respect it as an important part of our community. This motel is over 20 years old but we do not feel that it looks old. It was been built with... More

We chose this restaurant as a venue for a Baby Shower/dinner for a work colleague.....away from the hustle/bustle of a pub atmosphere. The evening was a huge success and very enjoyable. We were made to feel very welcome by staff and the food was absolutely superb and the dessert 'to die for'!!! Grounds/tropical gardens are well maintained with ample off-the-street... More

I stay for two nights. The motel room was clean and looked newly renovated. The food in the resturant was good. Kel (the owner) was very friendly and helpful. The motel is 3.5 stars. It is a typical North Queensland motel built out of Besser Blocks. The bed and shower were good and the TV worked just fine. This place... More

We booked this on line , because the blurb stated " Outstanding holiday and corporate accommodation" , " Comprising 41 modern air-conditioned units etc.'' and so it goes on. The rooms are old, small tv, dark shower recess, and BORING. the "Modern" bit might have had some relevance 20 yrs ago , but it's sure a flowery disciption and nothing... More

We stayed one night on the way from Brisbane to Cairns. The room was clean and very adequate, but nothing special. Just fine for one night. The people we dealt with at the motel desk were very friendly. Only drawback was that the restaurant did NOT serve breakfast. Apparently one is supposed to order "room service" the night before, because... More
