Located opposite Kinka Beach on the scenic highway between Yeppoon and Emu Park in the middle of the spectacular Capricorn Coast. Our recently refurbished motel has family, queen and twin rooms. All with self-contained kitchens, modern bathrooms, smart TV's, air conditioning and free WIFI. Our pool area is perfect for the kids to play in or the adults to meet up for a BBQ and sun downers. There is parking for your boat, tinny or jet ski.
Lou and Jeremy have lived on the Capricorn Coast long enough to be considered locals. They have a passion for fishing and island hopping around the beautiful Southern Great Barrier Reef. They can offer local knowledge and expertise on this magnificent region and what it has to offer.
