Hotels near Gladstone Airport - GLT, Gladstone

Quiet, clean probably a good place to raise a family. Not much to see or do, Limited choice of venues for dining except for pub food. Disappointed by lack of seafood availability despite being a port city.

The house was spacious! Not cleaned to my standards. All ceiling fans and air con vents were full of dust. We cleaned filter for ceiling vent which was so thick with dust, no wonder the system wasn’t working. After cleaning filter this worked properly, however would have expected this to be in order upon arrival Although comfortable the place was not homely or cosy ,with signs all over the walls This could have been in a folder. Wall panel for central cooling was very very difficult to use and very sensitive. Carpets were very dirty and needed cleaning in particular in lounge room and the lawns were not mowed upon arrival and only got done in the day before departure.

Really enjoyed spending time on the harbour and visiting nearby islands. Great parks and gardens on the harbour foreshore. I ate at two Thai restaurants and at the Gladstone Yacht Club. The barramundi there was the best I've tasted for many years. I was walking mostly and using taxis. Ideally a hire car would be preferable, but exercise is always beneficial. For solo travellers, I would recommend harbour cruising, visiting the Great Barrier Reef, agricultural shows and rodeos, craft beer tasting.

Gladstone is one of the biggest ports on the coast and has many amazing attributes, there are islands of gladstone harbour you can go visit and then there is gladstone itself that has many different suburbs. There was the Young Pub that we had lunch at the offered a daily specials of chicken schnitzel and chips with gravy for $10 which was delicious and is available everyday.... there are also other lunch specials but this one just was too good not to take. Gladstone is easy to get around if you have a car, otherwise I suggest prebooking a taxi as there arent many around. Make sure you know the barge times if you want to visit an island that your allowed to visit through curtis ferries and they are amazing and helpful too. But a 4WD is needed for the islands. There are many thingd to do and see just do your homework before hand and look things up on the internet and contact people. The flight can be long as from sydney you go to brisbane and then you have to wait a few hours for the connecting flight to Gladstone which usually gets you into Gladstone at 5pm.

Loved walking down to the landscaped waterfront area. Was very impressed with what has been done there. Queens Hotel had good restaurant with excellent staff. Would have loved longer to explore area. Gladstone appears to be a very clean appealing city with great civic pride in what the council have achieved in the waterfront area

We were in the CBD area, really not a lot to do in Gladstone. Spinnaker Park was a lovely walk, but we struggled to find anything else worth going to see. We had three nights here, but in hindsight it should of been two at the most.
