    Pros +

    • Large comfortable rooms with kitchenette.
    • Richard the manager met me and told me all about the area. The room was clean and comfortable with a large TV, comfortable chair and decent size kitchen area. Shower was good power. Love the location and gardens are very pretty.
    • The hotel has recently been renovated and the pictures accurately reflect the property. The bed and amenities were very comfortable. The communication with the property prior to arrival was great and the front desk was friendly and efficient. It is located close to the walking path along the water.

    Cons -

    • Driveway gravel is loud. Can hear every car pulling in and out from room. Rooms not very soundproof. Can hear other guests that arrive late or leave early.
    • Nothing, I would definitely stay here again.
    • We have a ute and the parking lot was very tight. Our parking spot was to be in front of our unit. We left to go for dinner and upon return, there were multiple utes in front of all the first rooms (including in front of ours) and a bunch of people were talking loudly and partying in front of their units next door. This went on until well past 11pm so we were very disappointed with the lack of respect for other guests and the fact that there apparently was not at least a 10am quiet policy. We acknowledge that the hotel cannot do much about rude guests but the fact that we couldn't park in our spot and were kept up late due to a party outside our window, it was an unfortunate experience. Overall, it would have been a comfortable place and we would've given it higher marks had our experience not been so bad.

    10KathrynPosted on: 4-23-2025

    We really enjoyed our stay at the Tin Can Bay Motel. It exceeded our expectations and we wish that we could have stayed longer. Lots of nice little touches to make the room homely. Very clean. Comfortable bed. Large room. Highly recommend this place.

    Clean, comfortable, quiet, friendly check in and a great location

    9MelPosted on: 4-13-2025

    Really liked the property, a lot of little details that showed thought had been put into the room ie. Make-up remover, milk ready in the fridge. Staff were friendly and welcoming - would recommend!

    8AudePosted on: 4-8-2025

    Spacious room, clean, mattresses were quite comfortable. Very welcoming staff. Pool is of a good size. Great location for dolphins feeding and overall a great stay.

    8JenniferPosted on: 4-3-2025

    The room was large, clean & comfortable. Well appointed for a night’s stay. It was a little out of town but Tin Can Bay is a bit spread out. We caught the courtesy bus to dinner at the golf club which was handy.

    7FionaPosted on: 3-22-2025

    Comfy bed

    Booking.com says 5 miles to Rainbow beach. Only has the Crow flies. More like 30 minute drive.

    9BarryPosted on: 3-18-2025

    It was one of the nicest motels we have ever stayed in. Very comfortable, large rooms, decent shower and loo paper and a comfortable bed.

    10YvonnePosted on: 3-2-2025

    Extremely clean, everything we needed - tea/coffee with a little bottle of proper milk. Nice selection of biscuits. Extremely comfy bed. Nice touches and attention to detail. Good communication re access out of hours. I wish we’d had longer there.

    Nothing at all. I’d go back if I could

    8JaninePosted on: 2-17-2025
