Sarina Motor Inn

They helped out when we were in a bind. The food was fantastic in the restaurant

Noisy air conditioner - too noisy to sleep with it on. Taps in shower could not be turned on or off without excessive force. Smelly room.

Perfect place to overnight on a longer journey. Very clean, quiet, great staff and close to supermarkets and so on. It is basic but that is all you need. Recommended.

Air conditioner didn't work properly. Bed uncomfortable. Ashtray full of butts outside room.

Travelling through Sarina on my way to Mackay, I stopped in Sarina looking for somewhere to go for lunch. I strolled passed the Hideaway Café. I went in and was immediately acknowledges and welcomed in. It was a family owned restaurant and I was served by the owner and her daughter. I had the best steak sandwich I can recall. The service was great and the meal even better. Reasonably priced and very filling. I believe the restaurant is Sarina's best kept secret. I will make sure on my return trip home that I call in their again and try something else on the menu to see if it as good as their steak burgers. The service from both the mum and daughter just added to the whole experience.

Pre booked a family room for three adults for overnight stop. At $175 for the night, we were very disappointed with the facilities. The bar fridge was on a tilt with a full tray of water under the freezer, no cutlery for cereal (only few packets with wooden knife and fork), three mugs (one was cracked so hot coffee spilt over bench, luckily not on one of us), lighting behind the queen bed was almost non existent, fluro in 2nd bedroom took ages to get started, one broken shelf had been left at the bottom of bedroom cupboard and bathroom cupboard must have leaked at some time as there were several old stained paper packets on the bottom shelf General maintenance was sadly lacking. The owner wasn’t overly friendly or obliging when we asked about the room lighting and for another cup and spoons. Our saving grace was Tandara Hotel/Motel straight across the road. They served a fabulous meal and their staff were super friendly. We’re sorry we didn’t book in there to stay.
