Absolute gem of a motel, clean, comfortable and quiet. Wonderful owners who go above and beyond (thanks Susan!). Highly recommended.

The hotel is close to the uni and shops and easy to get to. The owner was so friendly and made me feel very welcome
Karen
If you are given room #27 refuse it!
The owner and daughter were very nice at check in. I did mention we had driven from Townsville and so worn out and ready for a nice rest, and that is why I wonder why we were put in the only room right next to A1 highway, with double windows that face that road. The road noise made it impossible to sleep. We did manage to get in a couple of hours rest as the traffic dwindled in the very early morning hours. Honestly, that room should not be rented out...never stay in room #27. I feel that the rest of the motel would be very presentable, clean, comfortable bed, a little outdated, but the price reflects that. We had requested a room with a kitchenette but would have forgone that if we had realised we would have to deal with the road noise. I am sure I would have more than happy with our stay otherwise. I just hope #28 was already occupied and not just left empty. It would have definitely been quieter.

We love the undercover parking right in front of the unit. Very convenient in pulling stuff from our car. Very clean unit too.

Very pleasant room. Clean and tidy. Microwave, jug and toaster in room which is a plus. Staff were lovely.

The relatively new owners are welcoming and helpful, and keen to improve their motel. Our accommodation was spacious and comfortable. However we were disappointed that whilst the booking website included free foxtel in the list of amenities,we were told when we queried how to access it that it is no longer available.

Susan was most helpful. We were a late check in. Met her the next day. Lovely lady
Sally
Staff were extremely welcoming and obliging. The property itself was well looked after and very clean but tired and could benefit from a makeover. The pics show a tiled floor throughout but we stayed in an upstairs room and it was carpeted. Even though it was on the highway it was quiet, although the ancient air con made a rattle when the motor kicked in! Overall a good, basic motel for a one night stay over.

Fantastic place to stay. A short walk will get you to a variety of take away places or you can have a meal at the Glenmore Tavern. Great meals at realistic prices. The motel is situated in a nice quite area and the room is nice and roomy. We have stayed here several times and will continue to do so.

LOCATION and AFFORDABILITY
Being well located in Rockhampton and with an affordable nightly rate makes this motel a worthwhile place for an overnight stay. I would recommend Winter Sun Motel to anyone as it is also in walking distance to food, grocery, liquor outlets and many other necessary commodities.

Pleasant stay
A random motel we picked on our way from Brisbane to Airlie beach, didn't pay attention to the location when we booked; however, it worked out perfectly. Close to shops for dinner and the motel was located on the road to travel north. The room itself was suitable for our family, parking right out the front of the room and it was reasonably priced.
Thomas
Adequate Overnight Stop
This was a convenient overnight stop. The motel was in walking distance to a shopping centre and restaurants. The room was neat and tidy. The bathroom had dated decor but was roomy. We could hear the guests in the room upstairs getting ready to leave at 3am in the morning.

requested a change of rooms, this was no problem, however the room had still to be cleaned. Also we didn't mind coming back a little bit later. that's were it change, the room could been cleaned a little bit better, and we had ants in the bathroom, I know they are hard to control but it would have been nice to spray prior to our return.

Great Motel for Quick Stay
This was a convenient motel for our stay. It was quiet and close to shops and food outlets. It had a large fridge which was great for refreezing ice bricks for when you are travelling. All in all a good place to stay.
Verified traveler
Excellent
Good size room (enough space for a couch). Full size fridge (I don't mean a huge family size one, but a shoulder height fridge with a proper freezer compartment that actually keeps frozen things frozen, unlike a lot of bar fridges). A few shops and takeaway joints less than 5 mins walk. All up: Excellent.
Only criticisms, and they're very minor:
- shower head was too low. I'm taller than average but hardly a giant.
- there was no powerpoint near the desk/table making it slightly hard to plug in a computer. Fortunately my cord is 4 metres - I needed all of that.

Please read below for details.
Little to no roadside noise inside rooms. Clean and tidy, allocated parking outside rooms, great location & great price.
The shower in my particular room was awful, very low pressure and almost no volume which was the only downside.

Very nice accommodation
In spite of the location very close to the main road, the room was very quiet, we didn't hear the traffic. The staff was friendly. The room was clean with a microwave, a full-size fridge, comfortable beds, extra brackets, etc. The bathroom was spacious with a generous amount of towels... many hotels/motels don't provide towels to young children and babies (We were traveling with 3 yr and 0 yr kids). Thank you very much for the comfortable stay!

Comfortable well priced motel.
Booking online was convenient and when we arrived the receptionist was friendly and helpful. The room was well appointed and very clean. The location is right on a busy highway yet there was no problem with road noise. Close by was small shopping centre and tavern. What more could anyone want. We have found our motel for future regular stop overs.
