    What I love the most, is the location, is near the Marcoola Beach which was perfect, the room was really nice and cosy. The receptionist lady was very lovely and welcoming.I'm sure I'll be back for my next vacation.

    There were some issues trying to connect to the wifi.

    Nice and close to the beach. Friendly staff. Pool is great, has a very deep end which the kids loved.Easy access location. Local (easy car drive) to lots of other towns with weekend activities to watch or enjoy (movies in the park, markets, surfing competitions). Quiet location even though it is on a main road, and next to an airfield, there was no noticeable noise disruptions.

    The coffee machine in the room was set up as if it was available to use however it was broken and the staff were aware which was annoying. Not sure why it was still in the room. The rooms are not serviced daily which is a bit annoying. Also there is no where to hang out wet swimming gear, and with a pool and the beach right there you would hope for more hanging options either in the rooms or a washing line outside.

    As soon as I walked into the room it felt very clean. There was everything you could need for your stay as it was a family room. The bed was super comfy.

    9RichPosted on: 1-9-2026

    Service was very professional. Walk to the beach from private path. Room was clean well accommodated.

    No issues

    2SarahPosted on: 1-8-2026

    Bed was comfortable. Staff friendly.

    Sorry but it was so noisy most of the night - road noise was awful like being on busy highway.

    6ClarePosted on: 12-18-2025

    Friendly reception, 5 min beach access, one parking lot available per room, milk provided for your tea/coffee, pool and nice backyard area.

    We were not informed that the adjacent room had ongoing maintenance work while we were there; they started drilling into the wall at 7am in the morning with some knocking sounds, disrupting our sleep. Afterwards I found out they were replacing the airconditioning unit with the compressor when the broken units were put outside the back door directly facing our unit.The left curtain was half dislodged from its hook sliders, most of which were scattered on the floor - it wasnt sliding and I had to fix it myself. The hair dryer was very sticky on the outside everywhere we held it, indicating either plastic degradation from age or unclean residue from other users, and we couldn’t use it comfortably.

    Perfect if you want to be close to the airport but also the beach. Beach is a 3 minute walk, surf club, cafes, shops, food trucks etc a 10 minute walk. The rooms are recently renovated, spotlessly clean, large with comfortable beds (soft mattresses). Plenty of space, good air con and a perfectly fine shower with good water pressure and temperature

    7JacquelinePosted on: 12-15-2025

    Loved the location and the friendly staff.

    The bed was way too soft.

    9LitzaPosted on: 12-12-2025

    Friendly helpful staff. So close to the beach with a back walkway that leads straight to it! Whilst the front has a palm filled lawn area with deck chairs and a pool. A budget bonanza find!

    A broken curtain was our only (very minor) complaint. Otherwise it was great!

    9JohnPosted on: 12-11-2025

    Lovely staff. Close to the beach

    Main road close by. Tv reception was garbage

    6TimothyPosted on: 12-6-2025

    Nice and close to the beach. Staff were friendly. Actual real milk not UHT for coffee. Close to the venue we needed to attend.

    Facilities were a little tired, our sliding bathroom door had come off it’s track and would not go back on, however otherwise clean tidy and comfortable.

    10MylesPosted on: 11-28-2025

    The service, old school Aussie service, not owned by foreigners. fantastic place. Will be making this our goto place for regular holidays up there.

    10DianaPosted on: 11-17-2025

    Very relaxing 3-night stay, clean and comfortable, great location, just a few minutes' drive from other beaches in the area, Marcoola Beach 5 minutes' walk away via a private footpath.
