About
Since taking over management of the Cattle Camp motel, our goal has been to marry city convenience with country peace and serenity. We believe you should not have to sacrifice comfort and convenience for a slice of country life. This belief underpins everything we do at the Cattle Camp motel. To reflect this, each of our motel units, set against the glorious backdrop of country Queensland, are equipped with all the mod-cons you would expect from city accommodation (such as: swimming pool, Pay TV, WiFi, etc.).
At the Cattle Camp motel, we are committed to providing you with an authentic country experience, whilst not forgoing the luxuries of modern life. This goal is at the forefront of everything we do. From our courteous, friendly staff, to our restaurant’s country-style meals, to our old Queenslander inspired rooms – we know the moment you arrive, the cares of world will melt away.
There are so many ways to enjoy your stay with us. Why not enjoy a leisurely evening meal at our licensed restaurant, or spend an afternoon by the pool? If you want to venture further, Taroom has so much to offer.
