Hotels Near RG Tanna Coal Terminal in Gladstone

Extremely clean throughout, comfortable bed, nice shower, tv, fridge and microwave in room. Availabilty of toaster, iron etc on request from reception. Free on site parking. Would stay again.

Stayed with my family for a primary school 125 year celebration for 2 nights. Room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. When we arrived the reception was dark and the person behind the desk appeared to be sitting in the dark for some reason.but he processes our booking quickly and efficiently and we were off to our rooms. The lawn was overgrown across the entire grounds which made the place look untidy, but everything was well cleaned inside. The aircon in my room “112” was not very effective, but I was able to move my bed underneath it which made it acceptable. It was quite warm both days so without moving the bed the room would have been very hot. The strength of the shower head was awesome and the temperature made showering a pleasure. It is sad to see that the restaurant is gone as it used to be one of the best in Gladstone.

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

A slightly détour on our way south often takes us to Mantra Gladstone. People there are so friendly! We were welcomed by a lovely lady who, upon our inquiry, showed us the way to the beautiful Gladstone foreshore Gardens near the Visitor centre. After checking in, we were off for a long walk. Back at the hotel, we enjoyed our free drinks then a beautiful buffet dinner at the Sportclub. Staying at the Mantra gives you automatic membership to the club, and here too, staff is superb. We hope to stay longer next time, so enjoyable and comfortable was our stay.

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.
