Basic accommodation. Comfortable bed, clean enough. Nice bar and restaurant at the front of the property. No hot water pressure but eventually dribbles through

Right at the beach.
Ideal location near the beach but nice and quiet in the room.
Was clean and tidy with all we needed for a short stay.
Definitely recommend.

Very basic but clean. Arrived after hours was given instructions to get in prior to arrival & had no issues. Would’ve liked more milk supplied in the fridge but supplies are a bare minimum in most motels these days which can be an issue with out of after hours arrival & leaving.

The motel is in an excellent position on the northern end of the Strand. Parked 2 kms up the road in an all day parking spot to catch the ferry to Magnetic Island. Terrific value!

A perfect place for one day or one month.
This is a cozy charming place. The apartment I had (#11) was facing the ocean and had a grass private lawn. The other units not facing the ocean do not have this. Included is a basic kitchenette.

The property was priced well and right on the Strand which is what attracted me.
The rooms are very dated and the walls are paper thin so cars coming and going and the next room's tv was quite annoying.
Definitely value for money but the rooms could do with a lift.

Good communication prior to stay. The room did not match the images of the room in the advertisement. It might be that some rooms have been updated and other rooms not.

The location fantastic
However the room did not depict what was advertised on the internet
Out dated in bad need of repair and needs painting bed saggy and pillows like pancakes blankets stained unpainted areas bare wood the curtains were mouldy and need replacing we did appreciate we could have our small dog with us however for the cost of the property it was overpriced The photos did not depict what we paid for
