Accomodation and dining were located very close to each other which was great after a day in the vehicle. Room was clean and spacious. Bed was firm and comfortable. Staff were polite and a breeze to deal with.

A fair price for a great little room. Plenty big enough for 1 person...

Good price - restaurant- pub was good. But, rooms clean, but very damaged. Couldn’t lock the door - but they staff member really did it for us. Said hey if you have any safety issues we have security on sight patrolling the area. Implied we would have an issue.

I really don't have anything bad to say about my stayat The Tandara. The hotel is conveniently situated in the centre of town close to all amenities. My ensuite room was clean and spacious. Staff friendly and very helpful.Great value.
ian, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Check in and room were great. Nice tea coffee and biscuit caddy. One concern was what appeared to be a significant amount of black mold on the ceiling of the bathroom.
bruce, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff were great. Room very adequate and clean for the price. Convenient location, however because it is in between two pubs so noisy and drunken people arriving home early hours of the morning, sitting outside their rooms smoking and yelling caused us to have no sleep.
Judith, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Although check-in was a little confusing you went to one of the bars and the barmaid checked you in. The units were in a separate building from the hotel and the hotel itself made no impact on the quietness or accommodation. I would stay there any time I was passing thru Sarina rather than going on to Mackay, 9 out of 10 for a motel type accommodation.
Richard, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were very friendly at check in. My stay was comfortable. Bed was comfortable and so were the pillows. Quiet enough considering it was on the Bruce Highway. Could do with a reverse cycle a/c. I felt a bit cold. Otherwise, I could stay here again and I recommend this hotel.
Immac, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It's a pub with motel units in a smallish regional town. Stayed here to break up a longish trip. Got exactly what I expected. Nothing wrong. Just pretty basic and old and tired. But clean enough and a comfortable bed. Pretty noisy environment. Trains through the night and plenty of noise started early in the morning from workers in the area. But not much the pub can do about that
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The cheap motel rates. The clean rooms. Modern rooms facilities. Nice size flatscreen with cable tv. A microwave where some motels charge you extra for it. Awesome size shower head with instant hot water. Lovely nice clean carpet. Nice secure security gate. All n all a 11/10👍😊
Makiha, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff pleasant and helpful...meals delcious.....HOWEVER none of the air conditioners are working in the rooms which means can be quite uncomfortable on summer nights. They also stated they are no longer involved with your reservation services.....am trying to fwd you another email re this as I paid twice for the accommodation on the night of the 12 Jan. 2025
Ronda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pleasant thank you. Suggestion is to add a couple of cereal bowls to the room, as travellers often have their own breakfast with them. And a couple of cereal spoons too. But all in all, very good. Bed was very comfortable too, which was a bonus after a big day travelling!!
