The town is well laid out, the main road goes through town but the traffic slow points work well, several pedestrian crossings. Plenty of small interesting points of interests for tourists, through the main road, everything is well maintained. Stay for a couple of days and be surprised. Friendly locals and great pub meals.

A very historical town. Many Great museums *The local Town Museum with old local buildings and a sugar train, there are great volunteers to help or self tour when it is closed. *The Chad Morgan Museum is worth a donation. *The Decay Slayer is a pharmacy that was purchased by the council to save the antique collection of pharmaceuticals collected over many years. *There is a foot path of historical information made of tiles and glass it is a great read. ^ wonderful old buildings used for cafes and small businesses.

Friendly, relaxing and comfortable place to stay. We really appreciated being able to have a nice cooked breakfast brought to our room early on a Sunday morning. We will definitely be back for another stay in the near future.

Childers is one of those country towns in Queensland that grew on adjacent sides of the Bruce Highway and is located in the Bundaberg Region. It is in a sugar cane growing area and has a rich history in agriculture. At the harvesting times of year it is possible to see small scale cane trains coming through the town precinct. There is a flair for street art in the main business corridor and the buildings are mainly of historic interest - well worth getting the camera out. If you don't mind heavy transport rumbling by at all hours of the days there are a limited number of motels in the town to stay overnight. Generally the traffic noise is low enough to allow for a good nights rest. There are a couple of coastal areas to visit when staying here, as well as the city of Bundaberg, all within less than an hours drive from Childers. When heading west from Childers you can link the Bruce highway with the Burnett Highway at Ban Ban Springs via the Isis Highway, at a distance of around 80Km. Ban Ban Springs has a service station and not much else but there is a road side rest area there. On the way west the Isis Highway also goes through the small to medium size town of Biggenden and a few other villages and also gives access on a side road to the Paradise Dam, on the Burnett River.

Really friendly staff and cleaner, great pool, good location, walk through alleyway and you are on the Main Street, fabulous coffee shop across the road Only negative was the lack of carparking, we were there for 4 nights and 2 nights we had to park on the road

I was only here overnight on this occasion but on previous visits have spent a bit of time walking the town with camera in hand. It has a historical flair and lots of examples of street art in the main street. Plenty of places to dine in or out. One disadvantage is that the main highway forms the main street and heavy transports use this corridor to drive north or south but this is similar to many established towns located on highways that have not be serviced by a highway by-pass.
