Have stayed at many motels and what impressed us was how clean/spotless the rooms were. Honestly cannot ever remember walking into a room and going wow this is so fresh & clean. Well aired very fresh comfortable beds. Great location, enjoyed the walk to the Yacht Club for tea which was lovely. Will be back and recommend to friends. First... More

Stayed here when travelling from Sydney to Brisbane. Was really surprised at the room layout & neatiness - very spacious. Much better that one of the inner city hotels in Sydney we stayed. The room booked was given to another with the same surname but we ended up on the bottom floor after the owner called & apolgised, which was... More

We appreciate your posting a review and staying with us on your way to Brisbane. Coffs Harbour has always been a popular stop over on the Sydney to Brisbane route. Being located away from the highway and across the road from numerous restaurants gives travellers the essentials they need, a good sleep and something good to eat! Coffs Harbour also... More

Returned to the Caribbean for another business trip. The hotel was the usual good standard, clean, and quiet (even though it was full). The reception staff was, as usual, friendly and helpful. The room (No 12), was comfortable and, though at street level, was quiet and no problems. The bed and linen was comfortable and clean. The only concern is... More

Stayed two nights, second night in a balcony room, good views of the jetty, pool and breakfast room available . Best thing was the location which is central to everything. Rooms are compact and comfortable with all the basics, shower was hot and the towels were clean and plentiful

Thank you so much for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed our motel and surrounds. The humpback whales are on their way north now so guests walking to the harbour might spot them as well as the dolphins and turtles! Happy travels. More

We booked here after reading the reviews for one night on our way north. The hotel was nice and comfortable, close to restaurants and a small shopping centre. The rooms were very clean. Car park was a bit tight for our 4wd but we found a spot to fit. Would definitely stay here again.

We arranged our stay with some friends around a month or so before our stay. We booked and paid up front via the Coffs Harbour Information centre, thinking we had the best deal we could get. When we arrived and spoke to the management regarding the price issues that arose after our booking, we got all sorts of excuses and... More

Thank you for your review. I can understand you being disappointed after booking ahead and paying up front through a third party, then discovering on arrival day the tariff advertised was less. Selling rooms online allows accommodation houses to alter rates either up or down and in this instance our rates went down as these school holidays have not been... More

We usually stay here when in Coffs Harbour because of its great location. Most times you need to book because it is a very popular motel. The rooms are nothing outstanding but they are clean and fresh, at least our room was fresh, I think they are doing a refurb. Our room had the deepest bath and I took advantage... More

Thanks very much for your review. It sounds like you were happy with our great location. Next time you stay you might like to try one of our balcony rooms with sea view, a spa room or perhaps an apartment ? Also now we have our toll free number so everyone can call direct and get the best rates. More
