I can’t fault this place at all, clean, comfortable and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to friends and family. The owners are lovely, friendly and helpful. The added bonus was being across from the Golf Club where we enjoyed a delicious meal.

It was o.k.
the room was very cold so we had the heater on all the time we were there, even over night. Lady, owner, was friendly, polite, welcoming but then was unfriendly and dictatorial when my son dropped me back at motel unit - and he'd spent the night there too! i.e. paid. Plus sign on wall implied we were to strip our beds, which I did. Unusual.

Response from Terri and Dirk on 22 June 2022
Hi Leanne, thanks for taking the time to pop in a review. We have tested the reverse cycle heater and air con in this room, and it works very well. Is it possible taht perhaps you had the mode on cool rather than heat? We are alwways happy to help guests with any issues at the time that they arise. Many guests wish to help us by stripping the beds etc which we greatly appreciate. The sign is not a request, it is a notice that says "If you are stripping the beds, please leave the linen on the bed, not the floor." The sign is there to assist our cleaning staff to proetect their backs. The sign is not a request to strip the beds. Many thanks for taking the time to place a review on expedia, regards, Terri and Dirk

Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We act immediately to all feedback. To date, we have not offered room services. We encourage guests to think green by hanging up the towels so that they may dry between use. We have stategically placed rubbish bins around the park for everyone to use. Please feel free to suggest any other motels in Maryborough by name and experience.

Unfortunately the room we stayed in wasn’t as per the photos advertised on Wotif. The room felt like it needed a really good clean. We had to clean the filters on the split system on arrival. Annoying to pay an extra fee for kids to stay and then another fee for their bedding. The bedding we received for them was only basic and the blanket not really sufficient to keep them warm. Might be worth mentioning that the property it is extremely close to a train line? Overall very disappointing experience. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Response from Terri and Dirk on 20 Jan 2022
Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. We are sorry that you felt the room was not clean. We have provided feedback to our cleaning team based on your comments. We did clean the filters on the air con last month, but since then we have had some very big storms, so that may account for it needing to be done again. We will review the other air cons based on your feedback. We will change the bedding from blankets to doonas based on your comments. There are electric blankets on all the beds in this cabin. There are spare blankets in the bottom drawer of the 2nd bedroom, as well as spare pillows and blankets in the main bedroom wardrobe. One of Maryborough's famous attractions is the Historic train station, we hope you had a chance to visit. Regards, Terri and Dirk

Hi Anonymous, Thank you for your review, we greatly appreciate your time in submitting a review. We are working towards replacing the hot water systems in the park, especially on the cabins. We have been replacing these slowly across the different styles of accommodation as we receive feedback. It would be really helpful if you could tell us where you were staying so that we can address this issue as a priority

Dont stay in a cabin if its hot
Stayed in a cabin. Very clean and comfortable but very poor air conditioning - so don't stay when its hot! Also wouldn't allow late checkout even though very few were staying the night - so if you want a late checkout go somewhere else. Right opposite the golf course if your interested in playing.

Nice clean & quiet Motel, good location
Very clean & quiet motel, lovely staff. Good location, across road from Golf Club. The Golf Club had very nice, reasonably priced meals. The room was very cosy, and everything worked well. Although the golf club & a fairly main road out front, it was very very quiet, there was also a lovely view from large window outside onto a patio lawn & garden. Plus pool. The room also included a microwave & toaster. I would definitely stay again.
