We stayed at Blue Water Motel and, given the high rates, expected a decent motel experience rather than 5-star luxury. The price seemed to reflect demand rather than quality, possibly due to nearby Mantra or Peppers on Salt Beach being booked out. The motel has a charming theme, with friendly staff and an easy check-in, even after hours. We liked the thoughtful decor touches and the big, fully opening window that created a nice bar-like vibe. The campervan serving breakfast was also a nice addition. However, our stay was marred by several issues. The mattresses were old and saggy, making for an uncomfortable night's sleep. The air conditioning, placed directly above the bed, meant we either had to endure stale air or have cold air blowing on us. The worst issue was the lack of soundproofing; we could hear everything from our neighbors, from late-night TV and partying to morning chats, which meant no sleep for us. Overall, we wouldn’t stay here again, even if it means taking an Uber to a more distant hotel if the nearby Kingscliff options are fully booked.

Incredible rooms, super friendly and helpful staff. Amazing location. We will be back!

Fantastic pet friendly accommodation. Thank you for making it special for our puppies first overnight stay! Accommodation is modern, clean, funky and just perfect!! We will defo be back soon!!

Great motel for overnight stay. The communication from the staff was excellent and succinct. It was so eay to arrive and access the room. The rooms have been renovated however, have kept the retro feel. All amenities and conveniences available. Recommend.

Absolutely loved it. One downfall, couldn’t fill the water bottle as didn’t fit under the tap so filled the wine glass with water instead. Room very comfortable and very clean. Good vibe.

Great accommodation in the Kingscliff area, just out of town. The bed was so comfy, bathroom spacious and amenities lovely. Great communal kitchen on site. Our room was clean except for a dirty tea cup with water and teabag still in it under a clean tea cup. Maybe housekeeping should do a double check. I will definitely be staying back here as it was quiet and modern.

Read in the fine print that there is a $50/dog/day charge to be charged when you check out. No one was in reception & door was locked when we left at 9am so couldn’t ask about it. This charge should be more transparent when booking. Haven’t seen a charge come off my card yet.

A stunning little oasis!
