Motel accommodation in Kingaroy will be in short supply this Saturday, with most of the town’s 230 motel units booked … but Friday and Sunday bookings are close to normal (Photo: Kingaroy Country Motel)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

August 22, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Visitors coming to Kingaroy for BaconFest may need to book a room in Nanango or Wondai on Saturday night if they don’t act quickly.<\/p>\n

But they should have little difficulty securing a motel room in Kingaroy on Friday or Sunday night if they intend to stay more than a day.<\/p>\n

A ring around of the bulk of Kingaroy’s accommodation operators on Wednesday disclosed only two motels have vacancies for Saturday night (Kingaroy Hotel-Motel and the Holliday Motel).<\/p>\n

However, nearly all motel operators are still able to accept bookings for Friday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

The situation is almost as congested with cabin accommodation providers.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Holiday Park’s cabins are fully booked for the entire weekend, but Peppertree Cabins have vacancies on Friday and Sunday.<\/p>\n

People looking for a bed-and-breakfast experience will have little luck this weekend either, with Bethany Cottages, Crane Wines, Deshon Retreat and Mulanah Gardens booked out for all three days.<\/p>\n

And while there may be vacancies at some hotels, Kingaroy’s Commercial Hotel said their eight rooms were permanently booked out by workers.<\/p>\n

Accommodation operators told southburnett.com.au the source of their bookings varied.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One motel said they were fully booked out by pork producers attending a Swickers conference being held in Kingaroy this weekend.<\/p>\n

Another said many of their rooms were booked by former Kingaroy residents who were coming to visit friends or relatives.<\/p>\n

Others attributed their Saturday bookings to a combination of BaconFest and routine bookings for this time of year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
