I booked 4 rooms for the Queanbeyan Rodeo weekend, as always, great service from the staff (letting us in just after midday), no request was too difficult when sorting the room set ups and an easy walk up to the showgrounds and restaurants. I'm always looked after like a silkworm there! Outstanding. Steven VorsaMarch 15, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Golden Age is very well located to enjoy all that the area has to offer with easy access to Canberra. My room was spacious with everything you need, being quiet with comfortable beds and great bathroom facilities. Staff were friendly and professional…a great value stay. Leanne DamonJanuary 26, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was a pleasant surprise finding this motel as it wasn’t my first choice, but after having a conversation with a very pleasant gentleman who was extremely professional, and knowledgeable who went out of his way to help us and also gave suggestions on things to do on our stay, I was swayed to stay here. The room was very clean and bright, also complimentary muffins or croissants with cappuccinos was a lovely touch. Thank you so much Gabriel for your help. 🙂 Renee HaisellJanuary 22, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. hi iam renee haisell giving a reveiw on motel it was fantastic stay everything was great your showers are wonderful hot and beuitful regards renee haisell recommend to our friends we will stay again Sarah JJanuary 18, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. beds were comfy, have tv, aircon, soap, shampoo & conditioner, fridge & adequate storage if you need. The bathroom doesn’t drain very well from the shower so the two towels weren’t adequate but honestly not major issue. Free muffins & coffee for the morning and the guy at reception was super nice. Good location for Canberra if you’ve got a car - free parking but otherwise about an hour by bus. 15 min walk to shops etc. dustylives hereJanuary 18, 2025.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went here in year 6, for Canberra, rooms were clean, the bathroom doors don't have locks and me and some friends were very stupid and did some stupid things. Food was well made and hot. Dietries were on point, one thing was the safety. Most of the rooms have back door locks, but they all don't work or kinda work, and some guy tried opening our balcony door at 2am. I was up due to my insomnia. This was 2022. Recommend highly if you want a chill stay :>
