The motel we stayed in on our trip

What a great motel this is. The rooms that we had were great. Beds were excellent and the bathroom nice and modern. It was the best motel we stayed in on our trip and we stayed in four others. The restaurant does good food. Just as well as so many places in Cardwell were closed. The ocean villas that they have available look fantastic. Just one thing that does need sorting out and that is the internet it regularly dropped out. Not great for teenagers and parents trying to appease them. Get that sorted out and you e got a diamond.

Awesome location right across from the beach. We stayed in an Ocean Villa with family and it was beautiful. It was well and truly large enough for us all with plenty of room for a crawling baby. Lovely pool and playground. We didn’t use the restaurant but had drinks on the lawn out front which provided a great view. Staff were lovely and friendly.

Walking into our ocean view cabin just had us and all the kids “wowing”. absolutely stunning views sitting out on the front deck enjoying a morning and afternoon coffee. As far as pricing goes- not much more expensive than any other cabins I have stayed in but twice as luxurious! Definitely will be staying there from now on- ocean view cabins, can’t go past them!
