Over the weekend we launched our very first Instagram account to share all the great images of our lovely motel. Lots of great things happen here everyday, and we want you to be a part of it.
We welcome you to follow us @kings_park_chinchilla
We would love to see photos from our guests too, so don't forgot to take some images during your stay and use the following hashtags - #kingsparkaccommodation or #kingsparkchinchilla
Kings Park Accommodation is very excited to announce that we now have two teams of Managers to look after you during your stay with us.
This week we welcomed Rob and Annette Langford to the team who will job-share with our current manager Bob Schaefer on a 6-week rotation.
Rob and Annette have a very successful background in motel and catering management, and we are excited to have them join the team here at Kings Park.
The new structure was developed when Bob’s wife Glenys decided it was time to head home to New Zealand to be closer to children and grandchildren. Although Bob was excited about being closer to the kids, he wasn’t quite ready for his retirement.
So, the Kings Park Accommodation owners decided to change the management structure to now have two management teams that will work on the 6-week rotation. We are very pleased that we get to keep Bob for 6-weeks, and then he and Glenys can explore New Zealand in their new motor home during his six weeks off.
Rob and Annette look forward to meeting all our regular guests and our new friends over the coming weeks.
Please contact us if you have any queries about Kings Park Accommodation or would like to book your next stay with us.

On Australia Day we come together as a nation to celebrate what's great about Australia and being Australian. Whether you’re in the city, on the coast or in a regional area, there are lots of events that celebrate everything that’s great about being Australian.
It's the day to reflect on what we have achieved and what we can be proud of in our great nation. Australia day also marks the anniversary of the First Fleet’s arrival into Sydney Harbour in 1788.
In 2016, the holiday falls on a Tuesday, and the Western Downs has some cracking events for the locals to celebrate with gusto.
In Chinchilla there will be an Australia Day Breakfast and Awards Ceremony at the Chinchilla Historical Museum. For those that slept in there will be an Australia Day Family Fun afternoon at the Museum from 2pm.
Dalby will be having an Australia Day Breakfast and Awards Ceremony from 6am at the Thomas Jack Park. If you are looking for a lunchtime event, then head to Tara for the free Australia Day Luncheon and Family Fun Celebrations from 12pm at the Showgrounds.
Don’t forget if you are travelling through the region then stop in at Kings Park Accommodation to break-up the trip. On Australia Day our communal barbeques will be ready to fire up for a good ol’ Aussie cook-up. So bring your snags and shrimps, get a cold one from the Bistro and enjoy Australia in the Queensland outback. Call us today for an accommodation quote or to making a booking.
