We loved the setting of the cabin. We only stopped one night during our road trip but would have loved to stay longer to explore the beach access and enjoy the nature and wildlife more. The cabin had a handy deck area to sit outside. From this we enjoyed our morning coffee whilst watching a kangaroo grazing and an abundance of birds. Peaceful and relaxing before getting back on the road. The cabin had everything you need for self catering. The shower was good and beds comfy.

Lovely spacious room with great kitchen facilities. Very comfortable bed and option of different pillows. Lovely view of town and the beach although deck was rather small. Air con worked well and added bonus of ceiling fan in the bedroom kept it nice and cool. Secure onsite parking was great. Staff very helpful with recommendations for restaurants and cocktail bars, all within easy walking distance. Magnificent beach just a few minutes walk away.

I needed a cheap place to stay for a week while in town for uni and choose the studio cabin here. On arrival they had the aircon on for me which was nice after a long drive. The bed was comfy, great water pressure in the shower, fridge and microwave as well as full set of plates, cutlery etc. and the property was quiet overnight, so for the price you can't ask for more.

The fact that we were late and they arranged the key for us when we arrived at 10pm. The coffee, tea and milk was provided. The beach being a 100m walk away. There are a lot of restaurant options in close proximity to the hotel. Staff were super friendly and accommodating. Great play area for kids just across the road next to the beach.

We only stayed the night as we were on our way home . We picked up Red Rooster Meal before checking into the Motel , so we didn’t need to leave the motel until next morning. We had our puppies with us , They gave us a room upstairs but it was the last room available but we would have preferred a room ground level to make it easier to walk the dogs .

Gladstone has so many beautiful parks walks and water fronts to spend your time in. A large variety of restaurants and plenty of shops and things to do. The nightlife also doesn’t disappoint, there are quite a few venues to choose from to go for a dance, an evening meal or to sit for a few drinks with live music. The locals were all very polite and friendly and helpful, it’s a very family friendly city and we think has a lot to offer.

There are walks from the famous Keppel Bay marina south of Yeppoon to Rosslyn Bay and dramatic landscapes, quarry and mountain as well as tours to the bay and reef. Yeppoon has a good selection of shops, bars, cafes and restaurants plus beachside walk and parks excellent for children. There is the tourist visitor centre just out of Yeppoon where there is a World Class marine and shell life museum - a must see for the whole family. Small coastal town feel with pretty much everything you would need.
