Booked for 3 nights as daughter had a completion in Arundel. Hoping for a 4th but they were booked out.

We arrived too early for check in but they had the room ready to go, which was perfect! It was a 2 bedroom apartment (king bed I think in one room and 2 singles in the other) and really spacious for the 3 of us. Kitchen was fully catered for, large bathroom with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The positive was the washing machine IN THE ROOM! After travelling for 3 weeks prior to arrival seeing the washing machine sitting there was a glorious sight. Towels and sheets were good.

Bed, shower, couches etc were very comfy and clean. Air con and ceiling fans were great. Your own garage was an unexpected bonus. Too small to fit the car and close the door, but it was great to leave the rental car knowing no dings and bumps would occur. Little tight to get in, but nothing to hard to handle. You are right on the main road so you will hear traffic noise but it wasn’t enough to keep me up all night

Pool looked inviting but we never made it there. Everyone seemed really friendly. Although it allows pets, we could not smell or see evidence that any animals had been in our room in the past.

Is it a 5 star resort? Nope, but I wanted a budget friendly place to sleep and eat and it was exactly what I needed and a little better than I expected! I’d stay again.

Thanks for a great stay and finding the AirPods!

I totally recommend this place to everyone and anyone this place is a down to earth Hard-working Australian owned family Business that we need to support. Rooms and apartments are spotlessly clean they cater to any and every pet parking is amazing smack bang in the middle of any sort of food you desire. Vicki the manager is bloody hilarious and always good for a laugh when she's not running around making sure all guest have everything they need. One of the owners Justin nicest fella going around gets in and cleans guests room Hard-working hands Australian family business. Stayed in expensive 5 star accommodation before they dont come near the level on comfort this place does. If you want accommodation with everything recommend the 2 bedroom apartment they are huge comes with everything massive balcony and room to throw the ball around for my dogs. Totally recommend this place dont go to surfers doesn't have the access to amazing food around it that this location has residents are friendly and owners and staff make your stay memorable. Book a week or a month like I do take your pets and family you won't regret it my favourite accommodation on the Gold coast they need to franchise this accommodation throughout Australia would stay at all of them

The rooms were very clean with lots of thoughtful kitchen things for us to do our cooking. The beds were very comfy with almost no traffic noise seeping into the rooms.
The staff very friendly. Our largish dog was no problem for the staff to accommodate.
The lead free beach is only 1 short walk away.
We have booked to return.

Really enjoyed my stay here as my room was clean comfortable and large. Had everything I needed and Vicky at the desk was so friendly and informative. Easy to get to from the airport on public transport with a couple of changes but due to my early flight departure Vicky suggested a transport pickup which was very reasonable. Would definitely recommend this stay.

The room was the cleanest and spacious motel room I have ever stayed in.
The convenience of having my car undercover and with direct entry to the room was a plus, as well as the room location on the ground floor resulting in ease of carrying luggage and swift, welcoming access to the much appreciated pool.
Thank you for a very comfortable stay.

Stayed for 1 night, a compact older complex of mixed residents and guests. To note for arrival: The entrance is a little tight to get in with parked cars, on a somewhat busy road and the office is at the back of the property.
The road didn’t really cause us any noise concern though. There’s a small adequate pool at the front of the property which served us nicely. Our Room A at the front of the building had a car space directly at the door which was handy.
Amenities were adequate, tea/coffee and milk is supplied along with towels and soaps. We stayed during heat wave (28c +) and felt the air con struggled a little.
Would only suggest some fresh window dressings for our room. Being on the ground floor and getting them closed well from prying eyes was a small challenge.
Would recommend👍🏻

Adding to all the other positive reviews with mine. We have 2 apartments between us with 3 adults and 2 children. Plus dogs.
This place is clean, comfortable and the beds are great. I prefer this ie more traditional older style apartments with big rooms, opening windows, real balconies and real keys and carports not underground parks . Big family fridge, cooktop and microwave and toaster provided Vicki the friendly onsite manager was wonderful and found me a cancellation when I phoned and wanted to join the family at short notice.
Spotlessly clean bbq area next to the pool which we have used constantly.
The traffic noise disappears when the windows/ doors are shut . The pool is sparkling clean and has heaps of pool toys but is not over-chlorinated and our kids love it .
Great aircon .
My only niggle is the wifi which currently at capacity holiday period is patchy in both apartments.
Thanks and we will be back!!!

I wish we had stayed longer, the team at Jadran motel made us and our pup feel right at home. The rooms were spacious and very clean, beds so comfy and everything needed in the kitchen was provided i.e pots pans. The location is simply perfect, a short walk to the beach, cafes and restaurants. My children also enjoyed the pool, they even provided pool noodles/toys. We are already planning our next trip back and will 100% be staying here again.

Received great service and a warm welcome from staff. Even when my luggage never made it on my flight, I could message the motel and they let me know when received and even ran my delayed luggage to my room after hours. Comfy sleep

We needed pet friendly accommodation and Jadran Motel sure was pet friendly. A pet bed, bedding, clean bowls and even a treat in the bowl made our dog feel very welcome. The room was very clean and had everything we required. The accommodation is close to restaurants and 1 block from the Broadwater. Staff were helpful and friendly. Thank you Vicki.
