Bit noisy towards highway side was main thing, but hey for what we paid - we got for $120 for a Wednesday night sleepover on our travels. The linen was lovely and fresh, good TV was a bonus, great water pressure so a lovely hot shower was appreciated. Scrumptious meal at the tavern- was great to have some wholesome veges and the salmon was delicious.
No complaints here.

We had problems checking in because work was being done and two 'passageways' were blocked. However, the guy booking us in gave us a free drink at the bar to compensate!
I was surprised to have to sign a form stating we'd have to pay for anything missing from the room when there was no inventory of what should be there - and there was only one cup in the room! However, the same check-in guy gave us another cup and two large plates (the room only had two saucers).
The biggest issue was there was no water when we woke up. I rang the number provided 3 times - twice someone hung up immediately and the 3rd time no one answered. It turned out there were workmen doing a job (at 6am!) and had turned off the water!!
Otherwise, OK for a one-night stay.

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

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.

Noise from establishment next door just meters from our unit (12)until midnight.
Suggest unit should not have been for hire given it was booked 3 days before arrival at which time Tandarra management should have been aware of impending noise issue.
A shame as we enjoyed our stay 3 years ago.
