Hotels near Emerald Airport - EMD, Emerald

Looked a lovely place, didnt do sight seeing, only saw the airport and Avalon nursing home, and my accommodation. Had a great tasty breakfast at a restaurant/cafe on the corner of highway in main street Nusing home staff are helpful and friendly. Taxi service is great, friendly and helpful, i used them 5 times in my short stay. Patchwork shop has a great range of fabrics etc and friendly staff. I enjoyed my short stay.

I had help from Wendy when I told her I intended to try and find my grandmother's grave at Emerald cemetery, and she was genuinely happy I was successful. Emerald is a friendly town with a warm welcome.

We were surprised with the town, its growth and how clean and pretty it looked. The Motel 707 was a wonderful choice for our overnight stay and offered more than expected, all the staff, reception and kitchen were very on point with their professionalism and friendliness.

The traffic in Emerald is soooo much better than the capital cities particularly Sydney. The only problem was the opening hours if the Suncorp Bank - 9.30am to 2pm Monday to Friday. I would love to work those hours. lol. Then they were not that helpful when I managed to catch them open. Hint- it’s a country town, don’t expect the world because they won’t have it. Prices are also elevated because they think everyone works in the surrounding mines. Lots of international people working there which can sometimes be difficult to make yourself understood. Not a bad place though.

Lovely oasis in the Central Highlands that has everything you need and the Botanical Gardens are a must-see. Also take a peak at the painting of the giant sunflower in Emerald.Lake Maraboon is nearby and we’ll worth a visit as are the gem field towns like Ruby and Sapphire. An hour’s drive away is the lovely town of Clermont where there is a wonderful museum that documents the history of the region. Great place to visit.

Loved the wide streets & centre parking. Terrific tavern - the Mayfair, near the airport on Springsure road! Helpful staff @ tourist info centre. Visited Fairbairn Dam - interesting! Great brunch @ "Blah-Blah" cafe.
