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. The staff were wonderful and our room was very comfortable for the 3 day stay. Very spacious airconditioned room with King bed, comfortable lounge chairs and a decent size table and chairs for dining in the... More

We had a overnight stay at the Windmill and the highlight for us was the opportunity to have our dog stay with us. We were made to feel very welcome and it was great to be given a little dog bowl with dog treats and a welcome letter to our furry friend outlining the rules. Lovely grassed area for the... More

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.

Have been staying here for many years. It would seem that there is a new owner. Motel is still a great establishment and the restaurant is still as good as ever. However the room rates we were charged were much higher than in the past. What I was put off by was the demand for my licence in addition to... More

Great place for a stop over if your traveling up or down the coast. Our dogs were given a lovely suprise of a biscuit treat and a bowl to use during their stay. Staff were very helpful and nice. The rooms are a bit outdated and the hot water takes a little while to kick in the shower but the... More
