Arkana Motel

Excellent motel on the entry to Maryborough across from zarraffas. The single thing that attracted me to this motel was their 24hr check in because the last thing you feel like after a long drive is to fill out reams of paper work. Arkana has mastered the art of technological check ins, something that no other place is the area has, and I've stay in most. Would highly recommend to people travelling through the Fraser Coast.

Solid, clean, well priced and managed accommodation in the best location. Rooms well appointed within walking distance to major food choices and sensational pubs. Check ins and outs quick and easy with no fuss and would highly recommend.

The hotel is on Ferry Street which is a major street in Maryborough, which means its easy to walk a couple of blocks to find food or drive (without needing a GPS) to get back. Check in process was super simple - loved that it is paid on arrival as with Covid restrictions this really limits plans and booking. Loved that there was cold milk at the reception fridge for you to take to your room for coffee too! Parking is right out front your door, which is so convenient for unpacking. The rooms are really big! There is alot of room and they are clean and tidy. Love the apartment had a big fridge with freezer and so much bench space. I also loved that the bedroom could be open and flowing with the lounge or closed off by sliding doors. The bed was extremely comfortable! We slept with the fan on low and windows open (middle of summer) and barely heard any traffic - so as people have previously complained about i was a little worried but this was DEFINITELY not the case) THE POOL was our favourite place! Its a fantastic size, not too deep for families to swim and feel safe and it was nice in the afternoon to relax at the pool. There is alot of undercover / outdoor seating you an enjoy a bbq or take away meal without being in your room which was also really cool, there is also chairs out the front of your room too - so much seating without having to always be inside! Check out process was the easiest thing i have ever done - pass the keys over and off you go! I was very thankful, as I needed to attend an appt and had to check out a little later, and the manager was very accomodating. Overall the hotel is great and will definitely stay again when we come to maryborough next
