3303frankgMy 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
An excellent little motel on the Bruce Hway, it has everything you need and ticks all the boxes. Nice decor and clean. Blockout drapes, QS bed - very comfortable, small desk & chair, small dining table & 2 chairs, bench with microwave, Nespresso Vertuo machine & free pods, WIR for hanging clothes and luggage storage, large shower (good). Fridge a little noisy on & off. Excellent dining across the road at the Rockhampton Leagues Club - it’s really lovely and we really enjoyed our meal. There is also an independent Thai restaurant in the building, but it was closed on the evening we visited.
KKel CBest park we've stayed at so far! Great size sites so we didn't have an issue with our large van. It's a great set up and is well maintained. We paid extra for the ensuit. New, fresh and looks great Our friends paid extra and stayed at a Deluxe site at the back of the park. Wow. Loooads of room, fireplace to themselves and a string of lights surrounding the area for a pretty night. The kids had a smile on their face, loving the well maintained waterplay area, and also the pools (not heated but warm enough). The only negative was the games room. Kids have wrecked everything and all you could do was watch tv. Love to return as often as we can Thankyou
We stayed one night in a Standard Villa. The park was in a good location for walking to the CBD and the shops and restaurants. The cabin was oldish, but was clean, well maintained and with all the necessary items for self catering. The bed was comfortable. A good size TV with Foxtel available. The park was in a quiet location. The lady at reception was very helpful.
Stayed at the True Blue Motor Inn in Rockhampton, very pleasant stay & it catered well for our 2 dogs, all the needs for our dogs were meet, throughly recommend this motel for people staying with pets. Even though we only stayed 1 night, it was cosy, comfortable & clean.
Very accomodating establishment. Very much value for money. Continental breakfast was great. Very clean, neat and tidy room. Central to everything. Lovely Asian food available up until 8pm and room delivery. Good parking with easy access. Staff are very helpful and happy.
Hi there, I liked this place for what it is. 3 Star motel. But Rhonda, manager, was just lovely. She was very friendly and helpful. Great service. Room, we had the pet friendly room, very cosy, nice storage and draws. All works. Parking in front of tour door. Happy and highly recommend
