This place is very well priced, and in a great location. It’s relatively close to the strand and all of the eateries/beach, and it’s also not far to the castle hill access road. The owners are incredibly helpful and friendly, and have made our stay so easy. And the view is spectacular!

Absolutely lovely place to stay with magnificent views out to Magnetic Island. Well located, easy to get to the CBD and The Strand. The owners are lovely and friendly, great to have a chat with, and Jack and Jill, the motel doggos, keep an eye on everything. Rooms are well appointed, and there is some renovations happening to update them. Will definitely stay here again 😊
