“Excellent family place to stay.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

There's nothing we can say that would go against this place. We have been travelling for several weeks and this was our last stop. It met our every need.

The location was perfect for us, being opposite the Clean River and its Prom, the Kids Play Area, the Public BBQs, just down the road from a Supermarket and Pharmacy and Ice Cream/Coffee Shop. 5 mins drive into Noosa Heads.

We had a load of luggage and we had room #1 on the front which allowed us to unload the car right in front of the door. Although the place was fully booked out, parking (under cover) was good and it never felt busy.

Everything was clean, including the BBQ and Pool area. Rooms were spacious even with two young kids running around. Kitchenette was perfectly sized for us. Not too much furniture but not too little either. Bathroom was clean and has been updated.

Only met Jackie and she was very helpful and friendly. Spoken to Darren on the phone and he sounded a good chap too!

Yes - if we ever make it back to Noosaville, we will stay here again. Definitely!

Room Tip: Rooms on the front, although on the road side lets you watch the world go by.

“Served its purpose”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

We booked a room for two nights and were pleasantly surprised about the size. The bedroom was big with plenty of storage space and the bed was one of the most comfortable ones which we have ever slept in. The living area was also big and contained a second bed, plus a sofa and table and chairs. The only disappointment I had was that although clean, the room and décor were looking a little tired and needed updating. The kitchen looked old and basic, however I understand the kitchens are in the process of being refurbished. The walls could have done with a lick of paint and the sofa needed a good clean scrub. The bathroom was a pleasant surprise as it had obviously been recently refurbished and it was clean and modern. However, we did not spend a lot of time in our room during the day, so it served its purpose. Our living space overlooked a main road which was busy during the day but quiet at night. The noise was only an issue if we had our patio door open. Our bedroom was situated at the back of the property so we did not experience any problems with noise whilst trying to sleep. There were two fans in our room as well as air conditioning, which kept us nice and cool.
The motel was in an ideal location and close to shops and restaurants. It is also possible to walk to the main Noosa Beach and Hastings Street from the Motel and we took a leisurely walk there. Parking is available at the back of the motel. I loved the fact that free Wifi was available and we made the most of this.

Thank-you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed the size of the apartment, free unlimited wifi and the newly renovated bathrooms. As you mentioned some issues with the kitchenette, sofa and paint, I thought it might be opportune to update TA readers on our planned 2013-2014 improvement's. 1. Kitchenette's currently being replaced work to be completed end of March, 2013. 2. Sofa's all being replaced July, 2013. 3. Paint all rooms getting a new lick of paint February, 2014. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Australia and have a safe trip back to the UK.

“Really wish we could have stayed longer”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 20, 2013

If your passing through Noosa then this is the place to stay. I really couldn't get over how spacious the apartments were. It was nice to arrive into a place where the furniture isn't all in on top of each other. The facilities were better then the other motels we'd stayed in. Just having a small kitchen area made a huge difference.
The beds were extremely comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size. The apartment has a tv with a generous amount of stations and also comes with microwave, hair dryer, tea making facilities and has both fans and air con. They have a lovely all year round pool which is great for a quick dip to cool down.
The motel is in a great location plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within walking distance. The marina is opposite the motel which makes for a nice evening stroll.
The owner of the motel is extremely welcoming and friendly told us where the best spots in Noosa are and pointed out places to eat. Couldn't fault this place one bit absolutely loved it.
Added bonus is they do free wifi which made it all the easier skyping home :-). Thanks for a great stay!

Thanks for the great feedback. I was really glad that you liked the large amount of channel options. The motel has 10 cable channels including fox sports 1,2,3 and 3 movie channels. All our TV's are digital so you also have access to the 20 or so free to air channels. Hope to see you again soon.

“Would definitely return”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

This is a great place to stay in Noosaville (if you're looking to stay in Noosa Heads by Main Beach/Hastings st you will need to take a short bus). Jackie & Darren were the best! We arrived and they gave us all the info we needed to get the most out of our time in Noosa. The kitchenette gave us the flexibility to get some food from the supermarket and we had breakfast on our patio every morning and after returning from the beach we would have some drinks and snacks. There is also free wifi here which was great to keep in touch with people. The bathroom was really nice and we liked having the separate living room from the bedroom...definitely lots of space. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again.

“Fantastic gem of a hotel in Noosaville”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

If you are looking for a great motel in Noosa look no further.
The 1 bedroom unit that we had was quite large with a table and chairs and couch in the living room/kitchen. The room was modern with a recently renovated bathroom and a great shower. Everything was well maintained and very clean.
The bed was very comfortable and the parking was under cover.
The air conditioning combined with the ceiling fans cooled the place down nicely at the end of every day.
Short walk to restaurants and shopping in Noosaville and the river view from the balcony was nice to relax and enjoy.
We also appreciated the fast free unlimited WiFi and watched a couple of movies from our home server while we were there.
I managed to leave behind my camera charger and Darren was kind enough to ring up and let me know and then on top of that took the time to post it back to us for free!
Definitely will stay here again when in Noosa.

Room Tip: Upstairs rooms have balconies and some water views.

Thanks for your great review. I'm glad you found the motel to be well maintained. We were also please to hear that you enjoyed the free unlimited wifi.
