Property is very old and dated but clean. Family room would benefit from the addition of electric frying pan/benchtop cooker and a larger fridge. Proximity to staff entry for restaurant made our room quite noisy late at night. Location was great. Right across from lagoon and beach & The Strand restaurants within an easy walk. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

We had a Wonderful stay! Location was Excellent and directly across from the Beach. Many Cafes and Restaurants were in short walking distance as well as onsite Restaurant which was Exceptional!! Lots to do as well visiting Magnetic Island, which was a highlight. Staff were always very helpful and its Pet Friendly as I travelled with my Service Dog over Easter which they welcomed us very warmly. We definitely would stay again, infact looking at returning soon as it was so relaxing. Thankyou to all Staff who made us feel special from us, Shirley and Coco

Be wary when handing over a cash security deposit. I checked out early before reception was open. Called them about the security deposit and they said they'd return the security deposit onto my card or bank transfer it. I flew out of Townsville thinking my security deposit would be refunded that day. I called them up after flying home to confirm the return of my security deposit. A different girl answered the phone & said they can't return cash. They would hold my money in a client account at the Motel for next time I come back & stay. They've gone against what they told me. Is this even legal? I'm not returning to Townsville. Was there briefly for a family funeral. I'm waiting on the manager to call me back and sort this out. They said she's busy with meetings and could take 3 days. I said I'd be calling tomorrow. Hopefully this should be sorted out.

Value for money. A basic motel room with everything we needed. Stayed 2 nights but our room was not serviced. Otherwise quite good.

Fantastic Motel with easy check-in as the staff member was friendly and polite. Great location where you just walk out the front and beach is right there. Prelnty of places to eat, drink or just chilling on the sand grass. Rooms a clean, comfortable beds, great water pressure and hot showers.

I was disappointed that the wifi did not work, and the television stations were limited to 7 and 9. Otherwise I was quite happy with the stay. The girl on the desk was lovely.

WiFi was not working. This has been happening for the past Month or more. on my many visits to this Motel. Advertised as free WiFi, Kept dropping out. I could not watch a movie on TV. Laptop kept stopping from No WiFi. I couldnt even check emails. If you advertise FREE WiFi Make sure there is decent WiFi Connection.

We booked a budget family room, I didn't realise budget now means run down and dirty. Other than the linen on our bed, the room was filthy. Dust bunnies hanging from a rusty fan, freezer so over frozen I could barely open in, hole in the wall, toilet paper shoved in the gaps in the window, layers of dust on the lights and window sills. It was just a mess. I raised my concerbs with recep8who was initially defensive and told me I booked a budget room, which I found unacceptable. My kids did want to stay so we checked out. About 45 mins later, reception apologised and admitted the room wasn't to standard. The only saving grace in this situation. Only then did he offer a free room upgrade, but we had already made other plans
