I have stayed at this motel before and was so looking forward to staying again. This time it was a bitter dissappoiintment. Too many things to mention. Room was clean but that is all. I will choose another motel oe go through to Mt Isa or Longreach

I stayed here for 1 night and found it to be a nice place to stay. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The TV remote from my room had mysteriously disappeared and when I mentioned it to reception they went and fetched me another one. The pool was closed for maintenance (but the... More

The room was clean, beds were comfy and friendly service when checking in. I was surprised they offered room service for some meals - more than i expected. People will tell you this is the best place to stay in town. It was a nice little motel.

Winton is a long way from anywhere, your accommodation options are never going to be extensive. The Boulder Opal Motor Inn is what you'd expect to find in such a place but with a quirky touch of gourmet foodie travel region. The rooms themselves are fairly basic. The décor is well, dated but clean. The bathroom is small (and a... More

Winton is a remote town and accommodation expectations should not be too high. However we were pleasantly surprised with the whole establishment. Of course dont expect to pay non remote prices for good clean comfortable and quiet accommodation. The restaurant was great. We stayed 2 nights and it was full both nights as many locals eat out there. Wherever you... More

I would like to go one more spot but just can't. Atmosphere good but compromises such as beds squash the curtains into the windows and that creates a fight for privacy. Restaurant good but the sauce on the Barramundi makes it hard to realise it is a barrammundi, plus, the prawns were already cooked and then heated. Too recognisable to... More

We stayed overnight at this Motel and it was comfortable and clean. The restaurant was the highlight. The food and service were remarkable and equal to any in the major cities. The only drawback was the non-soundproof rooms. We had a unit with a connecting door and could hear the other occupants talking and, worse still, snoring during the night.

This place was perfect after a long drive, definitely looked like the best place in town. We were greeted by the very friendly manager couple and shown to our bright, clean room while being told about facilities etc. Nice pool area which would be a real win on warmer days. We ate at the restaurant for dinner which was so... More

My wife and I have recently completed our trip to the Qld outback. At Winton, we decided to try the Boulder Opal Motor Inn. We were courteously greeted at reception and given their last room. Our worries about an overcrowded and noisy stay were unfounded as the room was clean and bright and the facilities more than adequate for a... More

Pleasant surprise. Having traveled all day all I wanted was a nice clean room and a meal. At reception I was greeted very warmly by the manager, who took time to expain motel layout and location of room and services provided. To be honest I intended to have room service but when I saw the restaurant decide to have a... More
