Stayed overnight at Matthew Flinders Motor Inn on our family of 5 road trip from Melbourne to Gold Coast. Warm welcome on arrival and wonderful service during the short stay. Room was a litte dated, but clean and very comfortable with a few room surprises thought you more often find in a 4 or 5 star city hotel. It was... More

We stayed overnight when visiting Coonabarabran Observatory. The room is spacious and clean and the staff very friendly. Although it is on the highway, we were not disturbed by any traffic noise and had a good night's sleep. We could park our car right in front of our room, which was handy. Coonabarabran can get quite cold during winter but... More

An absolute pleasure to stay in this friendly and well run motel. The small restaurant and bar well run with a good choice of meals on the menu. Rooms good size and very comfortable.

We needed overnight accommodation on a trip to Adelaide from Brisbane, that would accommodate our dog. I rang the Tourist Bureau at Coonabarabran and they advised that the Matthew Flinders Hotel had some dedicated pet rooms. When I enquired the owner was pleasant and very helpful, so I booked in for 1 night. On arrival we were greeted warmly and... More

There is nothing fancy about this place but it serves it's purpose. I suspect most guests are looking for quiet and clean accommodation to rest from a day of driving. You will find it here. The rooms are not brand new but are clean and the beds are comfortable. There is an inviting swimming pool to cool off if needed.... More

Travelling back from the Gold Coast to Me ilbourne I stopped overnight at the Mathhew Flinders Motor Inn. Was very impressed with the surrounds. Lovely pool, good accommodation and an excellent restaurant on site. The price was reasonable at $75.00 per room with queen bed, tv. toaster, jug, hairdryer and plenty of tea and coffee supplies. The pool was set... More

Outside the motor inn has a natural feel with tall shady trees and plenty of space. The place has a relaxed, clean and friendly atmosphere. Inside the rooms are clean and have all the comforts you would expect and which make your stay enjoyable. I stayed two nights and it was great. Having stayed in other hotels in the area... More

All we wanted was a warm and comfortable stay on the long trip home from QLD. Despite a very friendly welcome and a hostess who tried so hard to please, this motel and its restaurant fall short of the mark. Hard beds and pillows, road noise, antiquated TVs and poor TV reception does not make for a pleasant stay. The... More

I stayed here for one night during a road trip en-route to the Sushine Coast. I found it on Wotif.com but then found on checking that it was cheaper to book direct with the hotel. The telephone booking process and then the subsequent check-in process was very quick, efficient and friendly. We asked for a "deluxe room with queen size... More
