McNevin's Maryborough Motel
Hervey Bay Hotel & Resort
While I found the room ok and the staff very helpful and friendly I had a problem with the shower over a plunge bath. I have osteo in one leg and was afraid of falling without a non slip mat or a railing to hold onto. Thank you

Ned Kelly's Motel
Room was spotless. Had everything we needed for an overnight stay after a brutal overnight flight. Lovely staff. Was a catch up on sleep stay as we headed up North. It’s not a five star luxury resort so rating it for what it is.
