Smallest fridge ever!, family of four cramped into a small room. The pool needs maintenance as concrete has fallen away exposing rusty metal. Reception isn't open till 11-11.30am, Pool closes too early and the rooms above the cafe are exposed to noise pollution at any given time of the day. Apart from that staff were great!

Great customer service, room was clean, grounds clean, handy 15 min walk to the coast, dining options next door and a few more around or main town center is 15 min walk. The pool is not as big as it looks on the photos, it still nice. We didn’t get to use the pool very long during our stay - closed early at 6pm with the public holiday or would have been 5 stars.

The Sails Motel in Brunswick Heads is one of those places that quietly does its job without trying to cosplay as a luxury resort. Clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a location that’s annoyingly convenient. You can walk to the river, beach, pubs, and cafés in minutes, which means you barely need the car. The pool area is a nice bonus, and while it’s still a motel at heart, it’s a well-kept one. Overall it’s a solid, reliable stay.

Location Location a Brunswick Heads Winner

Location Location - Hard to believe that a renovated Sails Motel at Brunswick Heads is in the middle of the Brunswick Township. Our Unit was so quiet and offered all the mod cons that you need - Micro oven, very small fridge that is not easy to use. A large TV but unfortunately, we were unable to use as we have free to air at home and also Foxtel. We were unable to see the sport as Foxtel was not one of the services you could use. Comfortable bed, Dark Shades in the window. Spacious bathroom and toilet. We parked our car in front of our unit and walked to down town. Brunswick Heads now has paid parking of $5 hour so you are best to park at the motel and walk everywhere. Two Cafe's just outside the Motel that were very popular with the locals. Would loved to use the pool are but the locals said the pool was not heated and very cold. All staff were very friendly and always there to please you. We highly recommend The Sails Motel. The Brunswick Heads Hotel is very popular but expensive. Also the Brunswick Heads Bowls Club is only a 5 minute drive. Has great meals at realistic prices, they also have theme nights eg Italian and Indian night etc where the meal is $24. The local Trivia Nights which most of locals attend. Free Pool all day - a winner with the young and old. Do not walk down to the Bowls Club at night as the lighting is very poor and the pathway needs repair. Heaps of parking near the Bowls Club and it is free. All staff are Helpful and very friendly
