Stayed 3 nights in 2 bedroom room, during mid December. We found a freshly renovated motel, close by to all amenities, yet still very quiet, and secure. On the map the airport isn't far away, but this motel is Not in the flight path, so you wouldn't have a clue the airport is anywhere nearby. You don't hear a thing.... More

First time staying at the Blue Pelican, we usually opt for more 4+ star accommodation. Was pleasantly surprised at the overall cleanliness and the fantastic service that you miss out on in the larger establishments. As there are no cooking facilities available, I feel a BBQ near the pool would be awesome. The main bed was a little uncomfortable, but... More

Have stayed at Blue Pelican several times in the past but it's been about 12 months since our last time. New owners took over about 6 weeks ago and they say they are still finding their feet and have quite of bit of maintenance work they want to complete. They were very nice, and everything you need is in the... More

Arriving in room around 9.30pm Sunday night (after a flight from KL) we found no hand soap or coffee/tea/sugar. In the morning I went to reception asking for some instant coffee and was told I had selected room only when booking, I found this confusing as in the past I had booked the same type of room, standard twin, as...

Although a little dated this motel is very clean and comfortable. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Meals were easy with the Bowls Club across the street.

I stayed at this motel as a stop over in Tweed Heads. Several weeks out I had seen a special rate of $69 p/n on the internet... ended up paying $80 as a walk-in off the street. The rooms have been updated in a simplistic fashion. The reception staff are friendly and helful. Overall a basic motel that serves the... More

A clean and well equiped room, comfortable double bed and great location for coolangatta beach and transport links. Also just a short taxi ride from coolangatta airport so a perfect stopover for early flights.

We were after some last minute accommodation at a reasonable price. The Blue Pelican at $105 was exactly that. We were not expecting a lot but we enjoyed our stay and in the same circumstance would stay there again. The bedding was great (I hate bedspreads) with triple sheeting. A very comfortable bed as well, Spare pillows in the wardrobe.... More
