Have stayed with Jodie and Michael twice now and cannot fault their friendliness or service. A great location, just out of town and yet close enough to everything, feel safe staying here compared to other Rockhampton experiences. They go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need, even offering a shuttle if the booked taxi fails... More

I recently drove from Cairns to Brisbane to visit my Daughter and Grand children. Deciding on Rockhampton as my overnight stay point , I did my research on several Motels in the area and chose the Capricorn Motel. I could not have been happier with my decision ! As with most cities, motels are generally located within close proximity to... More

Staff very friendly, they even moved us before we arrived, because they wanted us to have a quiet room after our long drive. The room was rather basic, but very clean and tidy. The pool is a nice place to cool down.

Having travelled extensively for the last 10 + years, I've experienced all levels of accommodation, from 3 to 5 star. Sometimes I've been left bewildered by services provided at them all, on both ends of the scale. I'll admit to never being 1 to read reviews before deciding on staying anywhere, but for some reason I did on this occasion,... More

I stayed here on my travels to Brisbane and return. I had given them four stars on a previous visit but to be honest it is better than that. The rooms are impeccably clean, the people operating the motel very friendly and will go out of their way to ensure your stay is comfortable. I highly recommend this facility as... More

We arrived after a long journey from Brisbane, enroute Airlie beach and Jodie the Manageress was very welcoming, helpful and was very much aware of and in tune with weary travellers. Our rooms were sorted out very quickly and we settled in for the night - but we were hungry! Hungry and the restaurant had just closed - not a... More

This motel is more than I expected. The rooms are bright and roomy, clean and have everything you could need for a comfortable night. Lovely gardens surround the rooms. We had a very nice meal in the restaurant and loved the Turkish garlic bread and tender steaks. Friendly management and staff more than great value for money.

Just had our second stay at the Capricorn Motel in under a year. Both stays were excellent. Good sized and well appointed room, clean, great service on arrival from the owners, parking right outside the room and a pool. The restaurant offers great home made food and is licensed. All in all a great little motel on the highway. You... More

I found this accommodation to be just what I needed after that long drive down the coast. The room was a comfortable space, the bathroom functional and clean and the bed not to hard and not too soft!

Due to the fact most inner city motels were booked out due to convention being on I was recommended this motel and apparently it had vacancies. If I'd known about this one would have been first choice. Great rooms quiet location. Continental breakfast included in tariff. Lovely restaurant on site. Friendly helpful management . Have no hesitation recommending this motel.
