There simply IS nowhere decent to stay in Derby. It's all pretty crappy, and it's all priced like a five star hotel in Sydney. We had booked and prepaid to stay at the Boab Inn, but upon seeing it decided to just kiss our money goodbye and stay somewhere else. We ended up back at the Boab because everything in... More

Almost missed it!... Almost drove past the entry to the accommodation which wasn't very well sign posted and when we got in the driveway the reception office was no easier to find. Whilst the check-in was quick and easy it was more to do with the staffs apparent lack of interest in the customer and more interest in another staffs... More

Didnt stay here but had a lunch down there with colleague, there was 6 of us in total and I dont know if the kitchen was short staffed or whhat but our meals took 1hr to arrive, 2 were totally wrong so they took a further 15 mins not very good when you are all on lunch breaks and need... More

I stayed for two nights while while on a work trip. I had a "double" room which was quite small but OK for just me. The rooms are basic prefab construction. My bed was comfortable and everything worked OK. There was a small desk but no chair so I had to grab one from the communal verandah. If this motel... More

Stayed here for business only one night so review is premised on that qualification. Arrived late at night and staffer who let us in was very kind and friendly. Room had recently been rennovated so was fine, though the flooring is problematic. Seems to be some sort of lino but not quite level so I tended to 'squelch' as I... More

Derby is a small town (5000 people) with limited accommodation. We needed to visit the town for one night and after reading the Tripadvisor reviews on the few options in the town we chose the Boab Inn. Bookling was esssential given the few rooms in the town. Staff were friendly at check-in. The room was essentially a double sized pre-fabricated... More

Considering the place and the weather this was far better than i had imagined. It was clean, the air conditioning work, there was hot water and the staff were more than helpful. I may have been lucky because my room was good (compared to some i've stayed in at high costs in Syndey and Melbourne). Give it a chance and... More

I paid $144 for a single bed in the worst room ever (the bed moved across the room every time I turned over). There was no phone and the bathroon was like a miniscule pre-fab cupboard. Apart from a dreadful nights sleep, I was soaked with rain the next day as when I left my room, I stepped straight in... More

Having lived in Derby for 3 years I booked into the Boab Inn for my last few days in Derby after the removalists had taken away all my furniture. On the day before I was due to catch my flight I spent the night cleaning my (rented) home and making sure I had packed everything I needed. As I was... More
