Hotel in zona Mangrove Boardwalk, Gladstone

La camera era molto pulita e il letto era molto comodo. Quando arrivammo la ricezione era buia e la persona dietro il desk sembrava stare seduta nel buio per qualche motivo.ma sta lavorando rapidamente e in modo efficiente e siamo andati nelle nostre camere. Il prato era superficiale in tutto il terreno che faceva sembrare il posto intatto, ma tutto era ben pulito all’interno. L’aria condizionata nella mia stanza “112” non era molto efficace, ma potevo spostare il letto sotto il quale era accettabile. La camera sarebbe stata molto calda, la forza della testa del doccia era fantastica e la temperatura faceva doccia di piacere. E' triste vedere che il ristorante è andato come era stato uno dei migliori a Gladstone.

After a torrid few weeks travelling back and forward from South Qld to help care for a very ill close relative in Gladstone , we arrived there at the Central Apartments late on the Thursday afternoon . Staff could not have been nicer and more welcoming were the folks on reception , which under our family circumstances was very much appreciated . Room was large and well appointed and the large eastern facing balcony was extra special . Fridge was massive , as well as other kitchen gear was good. My wife would have loved a TV in the main bedroom as you battle the small fry for control of the lounge TV when Sesame st , Bluey and other children programmes are on . One extra amount of thanks when the manager lady ( sorry did not catch your name ) and Rayne at the front desk printed out a eulogy for me . Especially with my lack of IT skills when my email never came through to the hotel a few times. Many thanks ladies and gents in a stressful and sensitive time for me and the family .

Some places are too good to be true, and some places are better than the too good they seem to begin with. It took me a while to get to The Sleep Factory, in several ways; being spoilt for choice for accommodation in Gladstone, and not needing to stay in any particular area, and all at good pricing. I checked the sites and The Sleep Factory came up quickly, and for good reason. I'd check others, go and come back, look at it again; it was too good to be true... I read some reviews, and there was some negative consensus, the rooms there were not as pictures, some rouse was in play to dupe and deceive? I checked Google Maps, and searched elsewhere, I had time, after all. The price was really good though, and when I came back looking at The Sleep Factory, I decided to upgrade my experience from the std motel style room to a 1 BR unit, which they advertised as having as well, and curiously, as I scrolled down the page of accommodation options, there were no shortage of them! Single rooms, Queen rooms, 1 BR units, family units, Villas of different sizes?! I checked Google Maps again, it didn't look anything special, but that's exactly what made it so good! Sitting almost submerged in tropical trees and greens, it's not easy to see exactly how big, diverse, and spaced out The Sleep Factory is, in its entirety... Once you see how large it is, and the variety of options of rooms and accommodation you have, you realise two things; The reviews are unfounded, those travellers simply have not picked the room they wanted for the room picture they saw. My 1 BR unit looked much better than the pictures would suggest - there is no subterfuge here. Secondly, it is not only a hidden gem, it's better than too good to be true. It's quiet, pet-friendly, clean, well serviced, friendly hosts, awesome internet (with Ethernet into my room!), great bedding, great bathrooms, great parking, easy access, great kitchen, space inside and outside so large; for the first time in my travels i was able to easily unpack my whole car, borrow buckets and hose to wash it. Store everything unpacked, easily in the huge unit floor space. I'm writing this review after having made my second booking to The Sleep Factory

Comfortable room. Room has everything plus more; dishwasher, microwave, full fridge, washer/dryer. Large room with balcony. Great value for money. Staff are amazing. They go out of their way to provide excellent customer service. Visited Mantra twice and will definitely stay there again.

The Reef Adventureland motel has to be one of the top motels in the Tannum Sands region. Great owners ( managers ) and cleaners, value for money, clean, family friendly yet quiet for the singles or couples, refreshing sea breezes and views from top floor, pool/spa, rooms with small kitchenettes, you could never be let down in staying here.
