Rates
Weipa has certainly been in news and web sites lately with the likelihood that the existing mining operations will have life expectancies of between 50 and 100 years from now. Many private and government agencies are now located in Weipa and will undoubtedly increase as the town continues to use extra services. Tourism to Weipa will also increase as the northern development road becomes completely sealed and weather resistant. The owners and management have recognised the changing trends surrounding accommodation in Weipa and have decided to amend their rates to reflect the needs of the many clients who require longer term accommodation. Whilst Ash Palms Motor Inn provides short term stays it is also capable of supporting long term and semi-permanent residents.
Full time leases are available at attractive rates. Please call for details.

FAQ
In summer it can be quite wet and humid, being in the tropics. For this time of the year bring an umbrella or raincoat, light attire, cotton instead of nylon shirts, a hat and sunscreen, sunglasses for the glare and protection for your feet. There are sealed walking paths in Weipa and being located in a flat environment it is a pleasure to wander through the local area. In winter, well we don't really get any cold weather but it can get cool so you may like to bring a light jacket for the cool mornings. Insect repellant is another handy inclusion and I always think a small torch is invaluable as Weipa's power is sometimes affected by tropical downpours.
Definitely! We have clients who regularly stay for 12 months or more and they would never think of staying anywhere else. As a matter of fact, we boast that Ash Palms is probably the most comfortable and convenient units in Queensland. Long stays, short stays, permanent or casual - we don't care, we love you all.
Most certainly. The kitchens are equipped with stove tops, frypans, microwaves, jugs, cutlery and everything you need to prepare your own meals. Of course if you wish to dine out, there is the bakery, the Bowls and Golf Clubs and a restaurant or two about 3 minutres walk from your front door.
Bedrooms are separated by robes. These robes provide privacy and a separation between the 2 single beds in one room and the queen size bed in the other without being fully enclosed. On ascending the spiral staircase the landing gives access to both bedrooms. Please note- Two of our units are equipped with double beds in each room, and sofa beds are also available in some units if you prefer not to use the stairs.
Of course. Our pool is our pride and joy. Not too big, not too small. No chlorine, no salt, just pure fresh water. The water is cool and crystal clear all year round so bring your swimmers. Note. The pool is locked at night. Our guests value the quiet easy going nights sitting in the courtyard after sunset. Strict rule - keep it down in the pool area!
So there are a few things here to note. We clean and service the units once a stay or once a week whatever comes first. If you need the unit cleaned more often, no problems, just ask. Cleaning and replacements costs more so there will be an extra charge. Simply, if you are willing to keep the unit clean and tidy you will be saving yourself money and cutting down on wasteful detergents and energy requirements. We also do not have a 24-hour office. The office is only open when the manager is on-site. There is a caretakers quarters but it is closed to the general public. Contacts for circumstances when the office is closed are displayed on the office window.
Yes. We used to have outside lines on our phone system but they were rarely used once mobile phones became common in Weipa. We have since stopped this service as the billing and monitoring process was unwarranted. If you require a phone call, photocopy or print service please arrange with the manager.
Yes. The phone number is in the guide in your room.
Once again we only ask you to tell us when you are arriving and we will make sure there is someone there to greet you. Other arrangements can be made with the manager if you do not have an ETA. In this case just ask for the mobile number of our manager and the office will be opened when you arrive.
Electricity costs are our biggest issue. We charge a fair rate, given the quality and extras that are included and the sheer comfort of the units. How we can do this is by running economically and efficiently and asking you to help us. We supply cool quiet split air con systems but please TURN OFF the AIR CONS when not in use. In a nutshell, for the size and quality of the units, Ash Palms Motor Inn is by far the best value in Weipa. Our rate this year are $206 per night for 1 or 2 people and $70 per night for additional persons. It doesn't make sense to stay anywhere else! Note that as Ash Palms Motor Inn is capable of full time accommodation GST is not applicable.
