Stayed at the darra for 6months for work, management and staff keep the place in top condition and will go outta there way to assistance you in anythingyou need, the cooks are top notch as are the serving sizes, close to all major truck manufacturers and plenty of parking out back for trucks. Would 100% recommend anyone that needs to stay around darra stays here.

Initially thought was good as I got an 'upgrade', but I would have hated to see the room I was going to get. After an hour the smell of animal waste and dank was obvious and the smell from the bathroom was not helped by the yellow old toilet seat. I booked and payed for 2 nights was more then happy to leave after 1 and never go back. No mention of a refund for the second paid night. Reception from the male 'manager' was cold and this was at Christmas time. Put me off Motels for life, 4 or 5 star Hotels again for me.

I stayed at the Darra Motel for a week while working in Brisbane and found it to be like a home while away from home.
The rooms were easy to access with spacious on-site parking for my service truck, super clean premises and a restaurant that served up the best quality plus variety of meals I have had outside of an exclusive restaurant district.
The staff were down to earth and friendly, taking time to talk while ordering dinner.
I really recommend a stay at the Darra Motel for overnight but especially for multi night trips.
I have already booked my next stay for when I return to Brisbane next

Hi All, this motel is awesome to be honest, the rooms are very clean and maintained everything works, the chef and Tony make you feel so welcome and are very helpful and they will literally bend over backwards to do what he can to help.

Stayed at Darra Motel for 4 weeks whilst working.
Rooms are clean and the beds are also very comfortable.
Food is great, very nice selection on the menu and also on the bar.
Service was amazing, the staff were always in a positive and helpful mood. And were more than happy to have a laugh and good conversation.
Will be staying here again for future business trips and highly recommended.

Awesome motel right on the main drag & really close to our work site. The owner & all the staff are friendly & personable & happy to assist with any requirements. The food is that tasty it's like your mum's cooked it for you! $5 for a beer while having a game of pool before eating is a great way to wind down after a days work. We'll definitely be back next time we're working down that way.

We had an amazing time here. The owner went out of his way to ensure our group had the best time possible. Nothing was too much trouble. I have stayed at many 5 star resorts and have never received even half the level of service offered at this motel.
Standard room was clean, modern, comfortable. Pool area was well maintained. Onsite restaurant had good food, a well stocked bar and outdoor pool table.
Most of all it was the owner, manager and staff that made our stay unforgettable. Tony and the team - we cannot thank you enough!
10/10 would definitely stay again!

My business trip felt like a holiday.
Ammenities and all were in perfect working order, but I'm giving 5 stars because of the service. When I travel for work, I just expect to get the generic smile and room key from somebody behind a desk. But when Tony greeted me as I pulled up in my van, I felt like I already knew him.
I was given special treatment because of my strict diet, they also received and stored for me a maaaaassssiiiiive delivery I needed for work even though I had not yet checked in by that point, and their company throughout dinner service was welcomed.
