Great overnight stay
Room and shower room clean and tidy. Comfortable bed and everything you'd expect in a motel room provided. Owner very pleasant and helpful.
Can't comment on the on site restaurant as it was closed on Sunday but the food at the recommended hotel in town was good.

Can see why they win awards for service.
Kelly the co-proprieter of the fold Gold Rush motel was super obliging when we asked for an early check in. Something many motels could learn from. The whole experience only a one night stay was very straight forward from woah to go. With a spacious and comfortable room with adequate power points and good facilities that were clean and in good condition. We had dinner at the restaurant which I also recommend the garlic prawns and a salmon dish were both very nice. Thanks again Kelly for being so accommodating .

This is a larger than normal unit with basic kitchen items. It is very clean and tidy with a comfortable couch and good size bathroom. There is a good restaurant on site with a mixture of cuisines but a couple of jolly good Thai dishes

Self contained in Queenstown Tasmania
A comfortable 2 night stay to explore Queenstown, Tasmania. About 750m from the main town centre our room had a small kitchenette which was well appointed for our needs. Room is a good size, a bit tired in places and the shower squeals whenever it is being run (in our room anyway)but it didn't affect the operation and water was hot. Checkin was done via lockbox codes and the housekeeping staff were friendly and happy. Pleasant and comfortable

The property, like most motels, is old and dated but clean.
Perhaps replacing the curtains in favour of roller blinds, getting rid of the bath shower combination to a shower only with a single glass. A bigger TV might be something to think about.

The Gold Rush Inn was very clean, spacious room, easy parking, surrounding area was nice & clean & tidy. Don’t expect the reception to be opened too often or if at all. Communication was good.

Not many places to stay in Queenstown. We were happy with our choice. We went on a Cruise at Strahan, so I would definitely suggest to stay in Strahan. The road to Strahan is windy. Otherwise, this motel is clean and comfortable.

Friendly Queenstown
Easy checkin and a warm welcome. The room was clean and had a small kitchen. There was an on site restaurant that you could order a takeaway meal from. There was also a laundry which was great.
The motel was close to the town centre.
