Check in was super easy & the very nice lady (I believe she was the owner) was very nice & helpful. Our room was spacious & comfortable. We liked the Mount Isa area

A door on the bathroom of the spa rooms is needed. No privacy when using the toilet.

Donna
our room was very close to the main highway and we had truck noise all night. neighbouring room was noisy and kept kicking or banging something into the connecting door. Air con took half the night to cool the room down.
Suggestion would be to turn the air conditioning on when the day the bookjing is received so that the room is nice and cool on arrival of their guests.
Positive note is that after a 10 hour drive we were met with a nice complimentary nibbles plate.

Jacinta
Really liked the reversible sign that could be stuck to the window so say whether the room was to be serviced or not. Also loved the sustainability of the multi use shampoo, conditioner and lotion bottles.
Great work.
Great work.

The rooms are fairly nice and comfortable and even have room makeup service if staying on.
I wasn't particularly impressed with the amount of dirt on the entrance to the rooms. Its not hard to quickly run around with a blower to send the dirt back to the outside of the verandah. There ar bins supplied outside for emptl cans etc along with rubbish bins placed in several spots . The parking is undercover and I did see some tradie trucks parked underneath. Along with acres of room in front and becide for truck trailer parking. Great restaurant on site with bar. Overall I definitaly will saty again. Especcially as Mount Isa has very limited classy ecomodation and this place has it all. You need a vehicle if you want to head into town,

Arrogant English chap would not let us choose a room. Gave us one with difficult parking saying “take it or leave it”.
Noisy place near lights on major highway. Avoid

Good staff and good food plus it has a bar. Staff are very helpful, nothing is too hard. A touch noisy being near the highway but not a problem for me. (One thing to note is a lot of places here in Isa have some vehicle noise as workers and travellers commence starting cars from early hours to early morning.)

What a wonderful place to stop off and explore the area around Mt Isa.
Friendly and welcoming staff on arrival.
The room was clean and comfortable.
Quality linen, towels and the best pillows i have slept on, I want one.
Very nice area, good little private court yard at back of rooms.
Didn't try the restaurant mrals but did order bottles of wine, very reasonable prices.
I had a fantastic breakfast on my day of departure.
A great touch having the equipment out front of rooms to clean the car windscreen as the bugs on the road were thick.
Exceptional place to stay.
I will stay again when I pass through on my way to NT, hopefully in April.

As we stay here when shopping in mt isa as we live 500km south. It is always a lovely safe, clean and comfortable place.
Kathleen
Quiet and peaceful
Friendly greeting on arrival, good size room with comfortable bed. Peaceful spot back from the road.
Verified traveler
Great owners, they catered to the fact we had a boat & let us park it up while we went shopping. Rooms comfy & tidy, water supplied Only incidental was the fan in the room didn’t work & the aircon took awhile to cool the room. Nice spot with lots of room. The small distance from town ensured our belonging were secured. Had a lovely feed at the restaurant. Water pressure was really great. Overall i would definitely come back.
Verified traveler
Very clean and comfortable. Modern enough, and surprisingly little noise from the highway. It's a drive into town centre, but overall it's worth it.

Friendly staff, clean environment and suitable for our needs.
