Sapphire Palms Motel

"Er waren zonnepanelen die vlak achter de cabine waren geïnstalleerd en bouwwerken voor meer cabines die net door hen gingen, maar dit was niet moeilijk te accepteren en de busscène boven deze was prachtig. De wandelingen in de buurt zijn uitstekende winkels en voorzieningen waren dicht bij de hand. Het zwembad leek geweldig, maar was te koud voor mij op mijn reis. Het personeel was zeer comfortabel en de cabine zelf was zeer comfortabel."

Lavender House Bed & Breakfast

"We comforted ourselves by deciding that this was probably the closest we'll ever get to staying at Faulty Towers. Lavender House is run by an elderly couple in their own large home, with Linda playing a kindly version of 'Sybil' and John playing the grumpy & nosey 'Basil'. Basil generally spent his energy criticising Sybil (and women generally) rather than trying to make us feel welcome. The apartment was clean and tidy with comfortable bed but poorly equipped kitchen (with a sign reminding us to clean up after ourselves). The sliding doors to the verandah and (interrupted ocean views) were were salt-sprayed and murky. The main disappointment was that the outdoor spa was not part of the Honeymoon suite but located on another deck accessible to all guests and only available between 5-9pm or by special arrangement. When we asked to use it Basil grumbled that it wasn't warm, it needed to be turned on with 12 hours' notice and we hadn't warned him in advance. We had to take the top off ourselves and we tried it out after a few hours heating. It was tepid but fine on a hot day and might have been better later that evening, but he announced we weren't allowed to use it more than once a day. The next day it was still barely luke-warm. In my brother's room there was a noisy old fridge (my brother turned it off the second night to get a better sleep) and strong cooking smells in the morning. Our cooked breakfast was cold when served the first morning but much warmer and nicer the second morning. The locks on the doors and arrangement of air conditioning were gerry built and difficult to use. There is a large building site next door but luckily it wasnt noisy the days we were there. Disconcertingly Basil seemed to spend a lot of his time keeping an eye on us. He complained of never getting a holiday although it was Sybil who seemed to do most of the work. We tried to be pleasant guests but we felt fairly affronted overall. I think we paid about double what the the accommodation was worth."

Ocean Front Motel

"The view at the garden of our room was magnificent. The kids like the Netflix the most!"

Blue Lagoon Beach Resort

"Excellent place ."

Bay House Motel

Hibiscus Lakeside Motel

"Cute out of the way hotel. Our room had lovely view of the river and parkland. Beds were clean and comfortable. Parking was convenient at right outside our room. Kitchenette was very small but was well Stocked. A bit hard to manage with kettle and toaster at breakfast- could only accomodate one at a time, but everything was clean. Had to use bathroom sink to clean cups and plates as there is no sink. Bathroom is clean, sink only slightly stained from doing double duty as kitchen sink. Staff were helpful and friendly, checkin was very easy."

Lakes Resort Toukley

"We konden onze toiletten niet in de badkamer houden, omdat de kluis in echt slechte vorm was, rust, deuren die zwellen van de krakken en waterschade. Iemand in de volgende kamer rookte buiten hun kamer, maar de enorme kloof onder de deur liet de rook binnenkomen!! De locatie was wel geweldig, maar handig was er een microgolf."

Toowoon Bay Holiday Park

"When I booked with reception they said they had no concrete slab only nice grassy blocks. Upon arriving on our block we had hardly any grassy and mainly dirt. The block had a mat down that had big holes in it and we were 12 metres from the skip bins that hadn't been emptied in over a week. The smell was like rotton seafood and wafted inside our van and onto the washing I put out. Upon calling reception I was told by Reece's we know it smells but the Cleanaway truck has broken down,it's not our fault. Firstly why would they put anyone on that block? And secondly cleanaway has a fleet of trucks! While waiting for my husband to use the men's, the cleaning gentleman came along to do the ladies block and had finished in seven minutes, no wonder they smell. The toilets near us were old. And run down. The park has mainly permanents and a lot of the cabins are run down and shabby. The pool looked green! There were signs up advertising a pancake man but no date ever as to when and they were also advertising Australia day. .in march All in all a bad experience but the beach below is beautiful and if you score a seaside block views are great. Disappointed at the two calls to the office,and the staffs response finally was we can move you ,with one day to go. Who wants to then pull their annexe down and move. Won't be back, blue lagoon park much better- ."
