I have been a loyal guest of the The Boonah Motel in Boonah for many years, returning annually from when I moved away from Boonah in 1999, up until 2019, to the town where I grew up, to reconnect with my roots and share memories with my son.

Upon arrival, the man at reception was friendly and easy going (what you would expect in a small town) 😃
The motel room was clean and tidy, newly renovated with modern facilities.
For the ladies, if you need to get ready the room has a decent mirror and lighting!
Thanks again for the...
