Reception was very helpful when we requested small plates, knife and toaster as we were there 4 days and wanted toast for breakfast. Only odd thing is that they supply cups and lots of tea & coffee but no spoons. Our room was clean and bed was comfy. We had 2 huskies with us and the outside area was so good for them. They enjoyed lying in the sun in the mornings. The Motor Inn is in a convenient area, close to shops, but even though it was on the main road, it was very quiet. Meals were nice but a little pricey. Nice Tavern just up the road but also a bit pricey. We will be back to stay here again.

My wife, Joanne, and I, while searching online for accommodation in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, stumbled on a ”motel” called La Casa Nostra. The obvious concern Joanne had,  you might say, was the organized crime insinuation in the name. I explained that the name of the motel translates to Our Home not Our Thing as the La Cosa Nostra signifies.  That said we were drawn to this place mainly because instead of traditional motel rooms La Casa Nostra ”motel” is actually a series of well appointed villas, each with an ensuite toilet, bedroom, kitchen type sink and counter space, motel frig, microwave and small patio.  There is no actual stove so that it fits into a motel category. If the kitchen were to be fully equipped, it would be an apartment and not meet the zoning requirements. All that said, we had an excellent experience, for which we have to thank the manager, Vicky. She was diligent, friendly, and very professional.  There is a barbecue and laundry room (complete with washer and dryer) right in the middle of the property. Vicky has coins available at the desk if you don't have pocket money.  Kangaroos are in the backyard, and an excellent tavern is just down the street. As two people that have travelled much of the world, this is the best ”Motel” and manager we have ever experienced.  Thank you! We will be back.  All the best, Joanne and Frank
