I stayed here for business. I stayed in an executive hotel room, and was very impressed. Everything was very clean and tidy. The only negative I would comment on was the shower. The type of shower head found here is the type you would find a cheaper hotel. It would have been nice to have a bit more water flow/pressure... More

We arrived in Cairns from Perth at 4am and drove to Cardwell with my 92 year old mother-in-law. When I spoke to Graham a few weeks before to make the booking he said we were welcome to check in early if our rooms were available. Arriving in Cardwell very exhausted at 9am we had breakfast at the local bakery and... More

Spent one night in an executive room and found it tidy and clean. The real sell for us was the restaurant, was going to the pub initially before a local recommended the food at beachcomber's. Wow, price was a little more expensive than you would pay at the pub but the meals well and truly made up for it. One... More

Way to expensive. Over rated and waited 55 mins for meal. A lot cheaper and affordable else were. Way to far away from cardwell itself. Service was pretty slack. Rooms were ok but could tell that cleaners were not very interesred in customer service and cleanliness. Would never stay again

I am sorry that your stay with us did not meet your expectations, however I feel that a number of issues need to be clarified.I cannot understand how you can claim that "we are way to expensive" when our current room rates range from $95/dbl for a standard beachfront room to $120/dbl for an executive beachfront room.These rates more than...

Stopped here for one night travelling south. We were made very welcome even without a reservation. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was adequate and comfortable. Great view out to the sea. Got a great pizza from the dining room. A few workmen about renovating from 8am who loved hammering on metal pipes. In short a good place to stopover.... More

Don't stay one night, stay more, this place is excellent. We stayed in the newly refurbished motel rooms overlooking the beach, beautiful. The room was immaculate and the food in the restaurant was awesome.

We booked two nights here and could have easily stayed longer. We had a first floor room and loved the view. The room was clean, comfortable and quite roomy. A great spot to watch the sunrise over Hinchinbrook Island. The restaurant is good and they have a happy hour each evening. Great pizzas also from the restaurant. Ask the reception... More

We dicided to stay here for just one night on our North Queensland trip, but would've been quite happy to stay longer. This place is across the road from the road anf the motel is part of a larger complex, caravan park etc. The room was spotless, everything was like brand new, this place was totally devastated during last years...
