The Gidgee Inn

Pleasant motel with comfortable room. Food in restaurant was quite good. Price of Double Jack Daniels and Coke Zero was absolutely outrageous!! ( pre dinner drinks and 2 cheap meals was $181.00 )

It's so nice to be able to eat in a Restaurant attached to your motel at the end of a hard day's travel, but this Motel is the exception to the general shortage of staff everywhere in Outback Queensland. We always ask for Room 15 (Twin) ($160.00) because it's on the end of the row so we have only one neighbour and a single drive-in, undercover car space. The room was spacious and a short walk to the Restaurant. It had every convenience you'd expect of a 4-Star Motel and was in good order and condition. The Bar and Grill is highly popular with the local residents and the Motel is also used by APT, Scenic Tours and other tour groups. It has a swimming pool and BBQ area and free washing powder. The washer (one of two) takes 5 $1.00 coins; the dryers the same (for about 45 minutes). The Motel is on the eastern side of Cloncurry, on the Flinders Highway, just after the Information Centre and not more than 5 minutes' drive to the CBD.

Spacious bathroom, easy, front-of-unit parking.
