I stayed here on my way to Brisbane, travelling for Sydney. The rooms were dirty, bathroom smelt of sewer. Staff were approachable, but wouldn't reccomend going there.

Good location and quiet, but small room and poorly furnished. Overall, place badly in need of refurbishment. "King size bed" was actually two separate singles pushed together. Mattress very uncomfortable (wires and springs dig in). Old tube-TV - mediocre reception. Only service in 5 days was fresh towels/soap three times - bed never made-up, floor never swept, dishes never cleaned... More

This is the second time we have used the Surf Beach Motor Inn for an overnight stopover between the Sunshine Coast and Sydney. It's a kilometre or two off the highway (no noise) and right opposite the beach making for a pleasant walk to stretch the legs between driving days. Rooms are smallish, a bit tired looking but clean and... More

Reception did not open until 10:00am but check out was at 9:30am. Pool out of order "until further notice" and it looked like it had been out of operation for quite a... More

This place had been very nicely reriurbished and its is good value as a motel and a 1 or 2 night stay. Car parking still crap. Mangement much more accomodating then before (judging by reviews) . So very clean and good value... but remember it is a motel not a resort.

Stayed for 2 nights over Easter, rooms are very very small. Only stay here for a cheap stopover for 1 night. Car parking is terrible you hardly have any room to park because its so small. Motel is across the road from the beach. Reception not that friendly or welcoming. The room we stayed in should have been no more... More

This place was a disgrace. They took our money and then provided no service. Would do nothing to even attempt to resolve any issues (air conditioner did not work; rooms were way too small - despite detailed enquiries and reassurance before we booked and arrived that rooms would be very comfortable for the number of people we had; the hot...

Stayed here for a stopover travelling from Sydney to Surfers. Had prebooked online for $160. The room was smelly, there was large patches of mould on the walls. The air con did not work at all, thankfully there was a fan in the room. Did not even want to use the bathroom it was so dirty. Was glad to leave... More
