We stayed overnight on our way through Gympie. The Motel is no longer young but its bones are good. Our room was well appointed with sliding doors to an outside courtyard area which was private and not overlooked.

Have stayed at this motel several times en route north and south - experiences over Xmas/New Year were mixed, with first trip interrupted by the cleaners having a noisy meeting soon after 7am (given I'd arrived at 1am, this didn't go down too well). Second trip was much better, quiet room, well looked after by Derek who does a great... More

Stayed here just one night. Rooms are a little dated but clean. We could hear the Baby crying in the room next door and them leave at 4:30am in the morning. NO road noise which was good. Beds comfy. Room service breakfast was good. Pool could have been cleaner and gardens could do with some attention. Staff were good. Overall... More

Nice motel. Not the fist time using Golden Chain and certainly not the last. Room was large, just like all other golden chains I used. Manager was helpfull, funny in his own akward way, but called us boys while we are 32+. Bed was great and had a good night sleep. Shower was hot but a bit strange, you have... More

We recently obtained the last available room at a time Gympie was "locked in" by flooding south and north How lucky we were to find a warm welcome and a lovely room - free wifi and an outdoor seating area (which we couldn't use because of the rain) The location was great given that there was an alternative route between...

Stayed one night at this motor inn on our road trip last month. Reasonably priced in a good location to the centre of town. Our bed felt 'itchy' (my husband commented on it as well) - I suspect there could of been some fleas on the bedding or something similar. We travelled with two other couples (three rooms in total...

Quick stop on our road trip while we are in Brisbane. Had the best night sleep. Do not really like Gympie, I think it was pension day every dog and it's owner was in the town.

This is a well run, standard, three star motel. The manager was welcoming, quickly responded to minor problems and offered good advice on the local area. It's clean and quiet. We did not try the restaurant or room service, but drove only a few minutes to the shops/takeaways. Overall, this motel is good value. The only drawback was that the... More
