    Pros +

    • Great staff, close to RQYS, clean rooms.
    • Had a fantastic stay at marina cove motel. Receptionist was extremely friendly, even helped my partner with her dress choice for the event we were attending. Room was very clean and bed was super comfortable. Highly recommend
    • Great location and walkable into the town of Manly where you can find everything you need. Friendly staff.

    Cons -

    • All OK.
    • Arrived a little after 6.30 pm and reception was shut. We'd received the instructions for accessing the motel and our room earlier in the day but we werent really familiar with exact locations for envelopes with keys etc. It was dark and so looked diffrenet from the photos provided. It was a little stressfull BUT fortunately another couple had arrived before us and were able to instruct us on the exact key location so we didnt have to camp in the garden until morning. I hate it when that happens.
    • No food options and out of the way.

    The Motel's location is beautiful on the coast and the surrounding marina's with the little village within walking distance and a number of nice cafes and restaurants. The proximity of the Royal Yacht club is excellent with its beautiful bar & restaurant facilities on the water. Its a sleepy hollow people dont know is there in a really good way.

    Comfortable and clean. Easy drivable distance to entertainment centre.

    No food options and out of the way.

    9JenniferPosted on: 4-20-2025

    The motel was situated perfectly opposite a yacht club. We had a spacious family room, which was well equipped for a 3 day stay.

    7AnnaPosted on: 4-20-2025

    Location to where we needed to be

    Staff could have been more welcoming. Kitchen was unusable as was the pool

    9Neil a. J.Posted on: 4-18-2025

    wonderful spot if you are looking at a boat, or close to Manly. Club house so close for meals which were delightful.Hospitality was really great.

    9MichaelPosted on: 4-12-2025

    It was central to our needs. The room was very clean and comfortable. The view of Moreton Bay was beautiful.

    9TraceyPosted on: 4-10-2025

    The room was spacious, the beds comfortable. The bathroom was serviceable though the water was hot and plentiful, with good pressure. 10% for food and alcohol at the local yacht club, 50m walk across the road. Free wifi, and at a good speed as well.

    Not a fan of the shower in the bath though, stepping in and out was slippery.

    7ChrisPosted on: 4-9-2025

    Was in a quiet area

    Smoking was out in car park with no cover and is was raining

    9RobertPosted on: 3-24-2025

    Good clean rooms, with a great location on the bay. Bed was big and comfortable.

    All good

    9BillPosted on: 3-13-2025

    2ShayannePosted on: 3-7-2025

    The closeness to the beach

    Outside our room door was not clean, the start of our stay the staff were not considerate or polite.Staff became nicer over the stay but would of prefered somewhere else for the price we paid

    8RaymondPosted on: 2-25-2025

    10PeterPosted on: 2-13-2025

    10ThiesPosted on: 2-9-2025

    Super comfortable beds and a lovely little pool to cool off after a long day of sporting kids. We have stayed here twice before. It's very central for our kids swimming at Chandler and we still get to enjoy the coast.

    10VeronicaPosted on: 1-29-2025

    Great location. Room was spacious and well appointed. Staff were friendly and helpful

    8ChristinePosted on: 1-17-2025

    Breakfast at the adjacent RQYS was very good, with great views across the marina. Very comfortable bed, air conditioner super quiet and efficient. The location was excellent for those who like to be close to the water, with a walking track along the Wynnum/Manly foreshore. Walking distance to a small IGA supermarket and numerous cafes and restaurants. Free on-site parking was welcome.

    Bathroom starting to look a bit tired. Toilet cistern took a long time to fill and was noisy.

    9LouisePosted on: 1-15-2025

    We were at an event at the Yacht Club next door so a perfect location. Small pool was a lovely bonus on a hot day. Access to a laundry on site was invaluable. Very friendly and hospitable staff.
