    Pros +

    • Delightful room, convenient to everything that I needed.
    • Easy access. Great spot. Clean and spacious.
    • Great for a one night stay. Nice cool air conditioning. Central to Coolangatta beach.

    Cons -

    • Shower was unstable and made a very loud noise every time it was used. Was concerning when many people used it around the same time.
    • The over all state of the rooms are very outdated and not worth the price that was paid. The shower is terrible. When turning on the taps in the shower the noise that was created due to the hammer in the plumbing was extremely loud & could be heard through the entire building
    • The bed was not very comfortable. It actually felt as though it was "banana" shape.

    The bed was very comfortable however not enough pillows. While I went to the office to see if I could receive more linen, the office was closed with no contact available within 1/2 hour of our arrival at approximately 4.30 pm

    Loved the location. Straight across from the Bowls Club.

    The bed was not very comfortable. It actually felt as though it was "banana" shape.

    Proximity to the club over the road.Car parking at door.

    Tired motel needs an update.1970s air conditioner was inefficient and noisy.It seems every other motel room ran their a/c all night.No Curfew. Noisy, limited sleep.

    Owner was helpful when I arrived since it was getting dark and I had just got a text giving me instructions on how to get the key. He helped open up the front gate and get my car through.

    The window didn't have a lock on it despite having a grill. It would give me more comfort to have a proper lock given I had a laptop computer which I wanted to leave in the room when I went out for dinner.

    Good,clean CBD walking distance

    Weather, storms

    We booked last minute - liked the location, close to Club Tweed & local shopping Centre. Good, secure, gated property - clear instructions on how to enter on arrival. Plenty of parking (although not undercover). Room was decent size - good value for what we paid.

    Cleaning needs to step up - found multiple dark hairs on floor in bathroom & some on the toilet seat. Plus the bin in the bathroom hadn’t been emptied from previous guests. (It was a bit smelly - possibly nappies or something)

    The location was great. Central to everything and was great being opposite Club Tweed.

    I stayed in the two-bedroom apartment upstairs. The main bedroom at the front of the unit was very light all night due to the outside hallway lights being on all night. Needed it darker.

    8PeterPosted on: 9-26-2025

    Excellent location close to several restaurants and Tweed Club. Excellent security.

    Unfortunately breakfast is not available.

    7NicolePosted on: 4-30-2025

    The location was excellent. The beds were comfortable.

    Not enough toilet paper was provided, no table in the room also made it hard to eat breakfast etc.

    10LisaPosted on: 4-25-2025

    Beautiful clean motel with a lovely bed. Very kind and friendly owners.

    4GaylenePosted on: 4-20-2025

    The location close to the bowls club and shops and beaches

    Small fridge and was very low to use, not alot or pillows to choose from, as they were very flat, people using air conditioners all day and night as were very loud, people talking outside the unit, if we were paying $50 a night would have been reasonable but not at paying nearly $200 should have been way better

    9JohnPosted on: 4-12-2025

    The central location, the nice pool & spa & the feel of the place. For the price it was good value

    5ClivePosted on: 4-11-2025

    4JonesPosted on: 2-12-2025

    Nothing really

    Dust in the air conditioner grills, old and noisy . Bed not stable it kept rolling away from the wall. No complimentary milk for tea or coffee. Ashtray outside room looked like it hadn’t been emptied in ages and situated right next to fixed seat.

    6RhondaPosted on: 2-4-2025

    Close to food outlets. Security for our rental car. Gate and key to open gate to enter the property.

    Old motel but suited our needs for the price for our two days stopover.

    8EricPosted on: 2-3-2025

    Nice rooms, clean and comfortable. Great little kitchenette. Host was helpful and friendly. Right across the road to the the club for an easy dinner. It is gated for added security. Would stay here again.
