Koorawatha Homestead Motel — return stay

Queensland Coast 2023

Just north of Miriam Vale is Koorawatha Homestead Motel, our home for the night. Great value, setting and family run service. We stayed here before in January. The manager, Tim, son of the owner, has grown a substantial beard since we were last here.

We ordered room service for dinner.

Tim asked about our experience with the Tesla. We told him how we had been up and down the east coast of the country since we last saw him and how the car had been great. Tim said he was interested in maybe getting a Tesla, so Tom took him for a spin up the Bruce Highway.

Large 4WD and utes stop don’t fit under the awning, but it’s great for our sedan in the shade.

Charging

We asked if, like on our last visit here, we could plug the car into one of the power points outside our room. Tim said that was fine, but then we discovered that our allocated room number 5 didn’t have a power point, so Tim swapped us over to room 2. He even came to check that we had it working okay.

It’s a slow charge at the usual 10A x 240V = 2.4kW. But it gets us to over 90% by morning, while we sleep.

  1. I don't mind the 'slow charge' we spend around $30 a month to charge at home 👍🏻 so far to date since owning the car 14 months we've spent $529 to slow charge.

    1. Kylie Gilroy Yes, it’s great to charge while parked, and we’re parked the longest where we sleep. And also the cheapest rate.
