Reviews of Bororen Motel (Great Barrier Reef Area)
Ashleigh Rogash
Booked over the phone, couple of hours prior to arriving. Friendly & helpful service. Rooms were clean & comfortable. Will definitely stay again & recommend to others. We also visited to Borden Hotel Motel for dinner which had nice pub style meals.
Cass Tomkinson
Fantastic place. Wonderful communication with managers. Rooms absolutely spotless and the beds were awesome. Ample places nearby to get a decent meal. Motel is approx. 2hrs north of Childers. Well worth a visit.
Vicki Toohey
Location is perfect for our drive up and down the Bruce Highway. We arrived in the early evening. It was raining and we were headed to the pub for a meal. Donna offered to drive us up and provided an umbrella for our walk back. The meal, the room at the motel, the service at both - great. Thoroughly recommend as a stopover. We will be back again for sure.
Paul McLeod
Great motel for the price. Bed was great, had a recliner chair which is so nice to relax in after a day of driving or work. Even though it’s on the highway I didn’t notice any road noise.
Geoff Mayhew
What a great find. Half way between Brisbane and Mackay, we found this quiet, gem of a motel at the southern end of town. With extremely clean and well laid out rooms, comfy bed and a great hot shower, we couldn't ask for more. They even provide rainwater for the kettle and in the fridge. The motel is a 5 minute stroll to the pub where a great feed at very reasonable prices can be found.
