On checking in we found the motel has new owner/managers and Beau told us about plans he has for updating the property to make it more European! I thought Holland was a part of Europe. We had a budget room which was quite comfortable and clean however the bathroom is dated. There was an awful drain smell in our room... More

Our room had a queen bed and two singles, there was also a table and chairs. We were in a room towards the back away from the main road so noise wasn't too bad. The room was clean and fairly priced, we'd definitely stay here again in the future.

On route from Canberra to Sunshine Coast. This was a last minute stopover during January school holidays. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. We were given a choice of rooms. The one we chose was roomy and well fitted. Nice large seperate bathroom, open plan living. The motel is on the highway but the rooms are set back and... More

We stayed at the Big Windmill Motel in January 2013. We were forced to stop over because of flood waters blocking the highway north.

We recently stayed for 1 night en route to Queensland. The facilities were very average and the overall accommodation in need of an upgrade. It helps when you can fit the kettle under the tap to make a cup of tea! Was disappointed with overall experience and was expecting more from a member of the Comfort Inn chain.

Booked a family room (Rm 29) well in advance for two adults and teenage sons as a stopover on our trip home from Sydney to Brisbane. Conveniently located on the west side of the highway (for those travelling north). Room rate (paid in advance) was reasonable although not cheap. The room itself was clean although a little dated (built in... More

Windmill is on pacific highway so easy to find for stop over on long drive to north coast from Sydney. Rooms average 70s looking motel rooms but job-lot fluorescent energy saver bulbs (even in side lights) very harsh and very hard to get kids to sleep when on & not at all conducive to relaxIng.
