Search Best Hotels in The Caves

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

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.

Hotel is based in a really great spot, right next door to McDonalds, other restaurants, tavern & not far from Stocklands. Room was tidy, never seen the bathroom sink on the outside of the bathroom before but still functional. Receptionist was very helpful & pleasant. Great off the street parking. Rooms unfortunately are not very sound proof, was awake at 5am due to other people leaving & trucks. Food at the tavern was great, steak cooked perfectly & woodsmoked pizza was good quality. Reasonably priced with lots of options.

Best 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
