The hotel was imacculately clean, the owner was so lovely (even after I accidentally broke his flower pots), and the water preasure in the shower was amazing. Definitely a kid friendly place. We were offered toys and games as soon as we arrived. Would definitely stay again next time we come through there.

On check in I asked about "fresh" Milk. Was told it was in the fridge. No "Fresh" milk but little containers. No service to room over weekends - I do like fresh linen and towels. Considering the price I would have thought the above would be minimum.

The room was comfortable and adequate for our stay. Although website indicate it is in Maryborough 'central' it is not close to shops at all. It was a $28.00 taxi drive from the bus station and not suitable for people without a car. Otherwise the hotel/motel is O.K.
