Moura Motel

David was a wonderful host and our room was well appointed, clean and comfortable with everything we needed.

Very helpful staff who understand the needs of people travelling commercially to this area. They shared information about Moura and the local area. When I let them know that I would be getting in town after hours they kindly arranged for a hot meal to be in my room for when I arrived.

Excellent friendly staff clean modern room

This large 39-room Motel caters mainly to miners working at the nearby Dawson Mine but they were so quiet, even in their early-morning (i.e. 0500) departures, that you hardly noticed them. We had a "deluxe twin" room ($161.00), painted in a soft pastel yellow, with a large-ish (1.5 metre high) refrigerator but, paradoxically, quite small hanging space in the wardrobe and an inadequate space for toiletries in the bathroom. A microwave, toaster, jug and the requisite china and cutlery were supplies, a nice surprise. The wifi is free but the dining room seemed to have been reserved for the exclusive use of the long-term miners, which is fair enough given their continuity and difficult hours. Room service was available but the new, and quite outstanding, Moura Tavern was a couple of streets away (closer to Emerald) was a great alternative. The "twin" beds comprised a queen and a single. There was also a trundle bed which could have been wheeled into the annex 2.5 X 2.5 metres adjoining the bathroom. The iron board was half-sized. We felt utterly at home and enjoyed two restful and relaxing nights there en route to Karumba.
