Country Road Motel

Great motel, easy access and friendly staff.

This place is perfect and a pleasure to stay. I stayed here Sunday 22nd December. The room and service were perfect as usual And as usual the Manager cooked a fantastic dinner and breakfast. You will never go hungry staying there. I have stayed here twice before while travelling between Qld and NT but this time from Vic to Cairns. The Motel is well placed with a service station just down the road and all main shops. Pool was cool on a hot day of 32c. Will stay again.

Decent. Pros: • Clean • Basics of a motel – kettle, microwave, fridge, basic tea and coffee • Wifi worked ok. I’ve had worse. • Pool looked nice • Friendly proprietors • Recently updated main room and renovated bathroom (low end but new fittings). Important if you object to dated but clean facilities – we don’t object. Clean is clean. • Nice long bar and stools in the room so both people can sit and eat! • Air Conditioned not particularly loud – unusual for a vanilla motel! Cons: • Trucks on the main road out the front which you can hear if you have the window open but otherwise not • Basic – but as I say, clean, everything basic is done right. Is at the top end of what I’d pay for basic, but its all done right and running a motel must be a difficult thing and I am sure it occupies a lot of hours 7 days a week for not a great income. So all in all a pretty decent place to stay. Nothing special, but decent. From what I read, a lot of the places in Charters aren’t this decent. When you see it you may be bothered by the train line running behind the motel, I certainly was when I saw it. But only heard one train during the night, and slept as well as I have at any other accommodation. In any case the train line is close to most accommodation in Charters, even if not mentioned in the reviews of those places. Probably didn’t need to mention it really.
