Cooper Cabins

Coopers Cabins in Windorah would make Basil Faulty proud.We had booked a cabin for my Aunts and Uncles and my cousin(Katrina) with her 3 children and my husband and I (Tania) with one adult daughter, were going to tent at the caravan park.After arriving late afternoon, we decided we would like to hire cabins if any were available.Here is the script of our conversation:Katrina – “ Would you have a cabin available for tonight for 5 people?”Tania– “I would like one for 3 if possible.”Owner rolled her eyes – “Unorganised people make me soooo..... You can have cabins 1 or 6 – have a look and take your pick”After checking, Katrina says “ Cabin 6 smells of cooking – can we have cabin one, and I looked in cabin 8 – could Tania have that one?”Owner – “You are only going to cook in it and make more smells. Cabin 8 has only 2 beds.”Tania – “You mean it only has 2 singles?”Owner- “No”Tania-“So there is a double and a single”Owner- “Yes”Tania- “So why can’t we have that one?”Owner- “ Well I will have to bring you another towel and it probably won’t match.”Aunt gives owner credit card.Owner-“We can’t take that here, You have to pay at the bar.”Aunt- “ OK. Do you have pensioners discount?”Owner- “No. I still have to clean the room and I want to retire myself in 3 years”I pay cash and receive a receipt which the book had no carbon paper (tax man might like that).Aunt- “When do you open the restaurant?”Owner- “I don’t. My husband does.”Aunt- “ What time would that be?”Owner – “5 o’clock.”Aunt- “Do you have a menu?”Owner- “They are in your rooms.”Later, after eating burgers from the service station (highly recommended), I decided to do some washing. I go to the laundry which is locked so my husband goes next door to the bar to ask the owner to open it.Owner (man)- “You have to pay”Lindsay-“ We know that.”Owner- “ Laundry is open until the bar closes.”Lindsay- “What time is that?”Owner- “8 o’clock”So I do the washing, put it in the dryer and go to the laundry at 7.55 to find it locked.I am getting really angry by now. Owner is walking toward us.Me- “Can I get my laundry please?”Owner- “ I told you I closed at 8”I lost my patience.Me- “This is the rudest f***ing caravan park we have ever stayed in.”Owner- “We get alot of rude people here.”Me- “I’m not surprised.”Owner- “My wife and I work from 7 in the morning to 11 at night”Me- “Bulls**t. You are closing now.”Owner-“Take your washing now or I will throw it in the river.”Me- “This is going to cost you more than it will cost me. I’m going on the internet to tell everyone.”There was one other couple staying in the cabins (I think there are 10 in all). They said the owners were rude too. The man said he knew why, they don’t like children and they don’t like people who don’t book.

Fabulous service. Cabins are beautifully well kept and clean. I have enjoyed my stay here.

Absolutely spotlessly clean. Very welcoming decor. Laundry facilities once again very clean and functional. Huge thumbs up!

Very comfy and nice and clean. Whether you are staying overnight or longer this is a wonderful place to stay.

Very clean and well-presented. Easy access but no covered parking. A/C was too noisy to leave on overnight. Enough hanging space for towels! Washing facilities available.

We stayed here after the hotel was fully booked. Very clean cabins and as every one else says a very friendly couple who run the place.Di ( who runs the motel )and Chumpy ( who opens the bar and entertains the customers) really are down to earth people. The food is homestyle cooking (Di.) but filling would be my choice if passing through windorah again

Terrific people had a couple of beers at the bar chumpy was great to hav a yap to then had a magic feed absolutely well cooked by di all in all really enjoyed my stay there would recomend it to all only hiccup was no salt and pepper in room but if thats my only compllaint i am goin ok p.s because i hav trouble in negotiating stairs di took it upon herself to change my room to to a room with ramps i didnt request this she just did it, it was very much appreciated

Excellent self-contained cabins. Friendly people. Very clean and comfortable.

Great old friends ... clean, tidy, comfortable cabin ... well appointed with all needs covered including kitchen. Informative hosts serving great food and a couple of drinks.

Stayed in the new cabins these were really good. Room service was a bit strange on the delivery of courses individually but tasted great none the less. Bathroom and kitchenette was very clean (almost smelled brand new). Bed was very comfortable I was asleep in about 2 minutes!
