Four out of five unexpected delights!…read more I went to this place when I was in Rocky recently and I was pleasantly surprised. The Heritage is situated right on the river. The décor was fun and cool and there is an outdoor area on the side facing the river. The restaurant is very definitely a restaurant and not a pub. Food is also available from the bar (i.e. a limited/smaller version of the restaurant menu). The food was all very nice - I had the eggplant parma ($18) with a side dish of wok tossed Asian vegetables ($5). I thought it was very tasty, though I would say my 'Asian' vegetables were really regular vegetables + wombok. Not sure that counts as Asian, but it was still tasty. My companions had the porterhouse steaks ($24). Note that the steaks don't come with any side dishes and they must all be purchased extra for $5 each. However, there is a big range of side dishes (chips, vegetables, salads, 'Asian' vegetables etc). I thought the menu was a bit of fun - the seafood is in the 'No legs' section, poultry is in the 'Two legs' and steaks are under 'Four legs' (Only in Oz). Don't let that put you off, though; the restaurant actually has a bit of classy yet trendy vibe. There was quite a lot of street parking available and this place was walking distance from my hotel so it was in a good location. The waitress was lovely and efficient and more than happy for us to split the bill. Be warned - The restaurant isn't huge. We went on a Monday night and at about 7:30 they were turning people away. I later saw those people turned away eating at the bar so they didn't go far. Overall, I found the Heritage to be a pleasant and unexpected surprise, when I had the stereotypical thoughts that it was going to be an ordinary regional pub. I will definitely be coming back and it is likely where I will be taking my boss when she comes up! Cheers.

Food quality was good but had to wait nearly an hour before the first sign of anything to eat arrived, and believe me it was not a busy night. Will try again and see if they can redeem themselves.

Rockhampton suburban stay! This motel complex is located in…read moreParkhurst, 12 km north of Rockhampton City on the Bruce Highway. We stayed in a well-designed, modern, spacious villa/studio with a Queen bed, kitchenette, lounge room and modern bathroom. The grounds and pool/BBQ/laundry facilities are well maintained and clean. The Parkhurst Tavern, located in a shopping centre 2 km south of the motel, is a good option for dinner. This is a good value option for a stay in Rockhampton if you have your own wheels.

When I arrived the staff were very kind and made sure that I had all I needed and provided milk, bread and cereal for breakfast too. The area is very quiet and the bed very comfortable. The room also had a tv and wifi and cable tv were free. A great place to stay. The only downside is the walls are a bit thin my room had an adjoining room. A big thanks to the staff for great service. I would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable stay in Rockhampton! This is a lovely hotel in a…read moreterrific location just a couple of minutes' walk to the centre of town and the Riverside. The reception, the restaurant and some rooms are in the heritage listed Rockhampton TAFE College and there is another building with the cheaper contemporary rooms. We booked a Super King Room in the contemporary wing and the room and bathroom were quite spacious (although we're not convinced that they were 48 m2), comfortable and well appointed. The parking lot is located conveniently right next to the hotel but it is not secured - anyone from the street can walk in. The room rates are very reasonable given the central CBD location and especially as your room is serviced daily (except for Sundays & Public Holidays - where you'll just receive new towels). This is highly recommended!

If you have a sense of adventure and want to try something a little different while you're…read moretraveling Queensland, I highly recommend Henderson Park Farm Retreat. This place is, quite literally, a working farm and cattle ranch. The owners have built two small cabins and a lodge for overnight guests. We stayed in a cabin which was really a miniature wood house. We had a front porch and the back porch overlooked the creek -- they have kayaks if you want to go for a paddle and a great stone BBQ pit in the yard. The king-size bed had an old-fashioned quilt and was very comfortable. There is a full kitchen, dining room table and living area. It is very rustic in style and homey. They offer breakfast baskets as well as tours of the farm. While it was a bit of a drive down a dirt road to get there, the road was flat and very-well graded and cared for. The owners are descendants of the original farm owner and very friendly (as is most everyone in Australia!). A wonderful, off-the-beaten-path place and very close to Capricorn Caves. Definitely check it out if you get the chance.

Three out of five stars!…read more I stayed here recently when I was in town on business. We booked at the last minute and it was all that was available for our price range. I did not have high hopes. But it turns out that my fears were unfounded. The room is really clean and looks like it was decorated not too long ago. I can attest to the fact that the fire alarm works as my friend accidentally set it off while we were there. And there is a gym available (I did not go myself) and lots of parking. It is across the road from the river, so it is in quite a good location. Overall it was a pleasant place to stay and I would stay again

There is only 1 downside to the whole place and that is the wifi. I wouldn't bother using it at all. It's very slow and not even worth bothering with. Other than that it's one of the more decent yet cheap motels I've stayed at.
