“Super Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

A group of 10 stayed at Murray Gardens for one night as we were on a winery tour from Brisbane. It was a great stay and value for money. The rooms were comfortable and it feels like you are the only ones staying. I especially loved the breakfast in the morning, it was so lovely and felt like a good home cooked breakfast. Will definitely stay again.

If you are after a quite and affordable family holiday room Murray Gardens is for you. the cabins are great. You are surrounded by the Australian bush. It would have to be the most relaxing and peaceful place I have stayed in. Tammy and her family will make you feel at home and will do anything to help you out. We will be returning in the near future and look forward to it. Murray gardens is just what the doctor ordered. Thank yo once agian to Tammy and her family for making us feel at home. You guys are the best.

“Fantastic Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 August 2011

The Murray Gradens Motel was an absolute delight to stay at. With a friendly face to meet you at the office, Tammy was happy to answer any questions we had or help us with anything we needed. This little place provides enormous value for money. The comfort of the Motel room was amazing. We enjoyed the luxury of a newly renovated suite and were extremely happy with the quality what we payed for.
Thanks again Tammy!!

“Very warm and obliging hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2011

Owners go out of their way to be available and helpful.
Rooms were immaculately presented and the grounds are extremely spacious,
more like a park than a customary motel layout. Definitely a recommended
place to stay.
And a special bonus for dog lovers, they have a magnificent playful male German Shepherd who greets you on arrival at the office. But if you're a wee bit concerned about dogs, don't worry, just step over him. Coby is totally calm, relaxed and approachable.

Room Tip: Discuss your needs with Tammy. She will make sure you have the right room to suit you.

“expensive for what you receive plenty of better options in this area”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 July 2011

My wife & I & another couple stayed there for a Saturday night cost $239 per couple per night. Gas heating had to be turned off smelt like there was a gas leak so it was a cold night. Can't believe no breakfast hamper was provided. A check in the area revealed most place 50% of this cost & you would be provide with a hamper.

Thank you for your feedback George. We always appreciate receiving it, be it good or bad, as it all helps for us to improve. The cost of the accommodation was only that expensive though George, in fairness, because you chose it to be. We believe $120 per couple to stay in a two bedroom cottage (our cottages are mostly suited to minimum 4 people) together, for a one night stay on a Saturday is very reasonable. It was your choice to have the whole cottage for just yourself and your wife. We have not changed the pricing since we took over a year ago even though we have made many, many improvements.

Regarding your “gas leak” - After our guests leave we try to check their rooms in a timely manner for any items they may have left behind so we can call them before they travel too far away and to also ensure heaters, electric blankets, etc have been turned off. Upon checking your cottages, we too, smelt gas very strongly as soon as we opened the door. We quickly checked all gas appliances and found that the dial for a gas burner on the stove had been left turned on so we don’t doubt the room smelt of gas but it wasn’t the heater. Furthermore, this issue could have been easily solved if you let us know at the time so your night wasn’t spent in a cold room through misdiagnosis of the problem. When you called back in to pick up your pillow we didn’t say anything about the gas so as to not cause you any embarrassment, however from a safety point of view we would have appreciated being told about a potential gas leak not only for our staff but for other guests.
