This is such a well renovated motel. There’s extra touches that are welcome, like water bottles in the fridge and a dirty clothes basket in the bathroom. Would definitely stay again.

The Blue Herron was a perfect one night stay on the Gold Coast. The staff were friendly and the rooms clean and fresh. The pool area was relaxing and having a glass of wine in the BBQ area at the end of the day finished off a marvellous experience.
