Chantel
Nice little motel with a modern twist! The staff were prompt, friendly and welcoming.
The environment felt pleasant, clean & safe throughout the stay, with great parking space.
The bed was comfortable with quality linens, and having Netflix ready to use was a great bonus. The generous supply of high-quality toiletries was also a lovely touch.
The only constructive feedback would be regarding the shower design. The frameless/doorless setup may not be the most practical for the space, as it is difficult to avoid the entire bathroom floor getting wet after a shower.
Overall, it was a great stay. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Blue Water Motel is a comfortable option for a short stay in Kingscliff.
The room is well set up with a fridge, kettle and toaster. The bed is very comfortable.
However the design of the bathroom has not been well thought out. Only one shelf, few hooks for towels and the water did not drain well from the shower. The communal kitchen and morning coffee cart are great extras. All in all the Blue Water Motel is good value.

Loved it. Gorgeous wee motel.. the nicest motel i've ever stayed at actually.
Christine
A hidden gem in Gold Coast! Been to a bunch of hotels around the area, and this was by far the best experience. Such a beautifully designed, well-run hotel with sparkling water on tap to boot. Big thanks to Claire for her hospitality.
Ian
Courtesy bikes, although regular servicing required near ocean. Chain was getting rusty.
KYLIE
The manual code to get into the communal kitchen didn't work but luck y I had the app to help gain entry. Not much grass area for pups to do their business and had to go on the street.
Beverley
Many good amenities including pet friendly. Like easy parking, cafe and accessability to beach and shops
Lesley
We stayed in the Blue Water Motel in Kingscliff which isn’t near the beach for a sea view.
Ind
I think another guest mixed up their reviews as there isn’t a beach view. It’s a 5 min walk to the beach from the motel. Room was clean with a surfer vibe. Beds were comfortable, area was quiet.

Kenneth
An old-style beach motel that had been nicely updated and sympathetically furnished. Clean, comfortable bed, helpful staff, good location, with lovely gardens. Would recommend.
Jacqui
Room was clean but sink blocked, no milk for coffee and expensive for what it was.
Rosanne
No connection with any staff but check in worked well and we enjoyed another sleepover on our recent road trip .
morgane
The rooms were so beautiful and clean, considering this is just your standard motel I would honestly say it's being maintained better than a lot of hotels and you can really see that they put a lot of passion into the place, the decor reflects the peaceful environment around and there's just so much space outside of your own room too! the staff were wondering especially the manager who helped us after I couldn't get into my room, was always present on site and it just seemed really well ran!! I will miss this place a lot.
John

Darren
This is the standard of which ALL other Motel and Hotels should be judged by. The ease of 100 per cent digital booking and payment and later checking in is the future. Seamless and quick!
The suite was the best I have stayed in and rivals even the top echelon of International Brands. Decor was excellent. Spotlessly clean, outstanding utilities.
I will definitely stay here again and suggest it to everyone I know.

Blue Waters Motel was the perfect spot to stay during my trip around tweeds head and the Gold Coast. I spent the trip around Chinderah and Kingscliff, so the location was awesome. It was clean, safe, and awesome amenities like fridge, access to a microwave, and a coffee hut on the premises. Will definitely be returning on my next whale outing. Cheers!

Great motel lovely retro rooms and a great front bench/bar to sit at and watch the world go by. Close to the beach and walking to town only took about 15 minutes. Would definitely stay there again.
larry
Great stay.
Very good stay and easy walk to beach. Check in and out simple and easy. Simple room but met our needs. Clean room and comfortable bed. Be nice if there was a microwave in the room but had a fridge, kettle, toaster and some cutlery. A larger kitchen was available in the complex. No laundry in site. Pleasant surprise in that a small caravan on site opens in morning to sell coffee and pastries. Easy parking. Will stay there again.
Mitch
The look was great and being anti social, I loved the ease of access to the room.

Refurbished comfort
Love the refurbishment of this old school motel. Very comfortable.
Janelle
The best Dog Friendly accommodation we have stayed in. Was clean, comfortable and across the road from the beach and dog beach. Facilities were great and parking private. Will definitely go back.
Verified traveler
Mixed feelings. Beautifully styled, spotlessly clean but check in & info via app. Missed the personal touch. Though there was someone around in reception if need at times. Wasn’t prepared for how noisy it would be. Could have been unlucky but it almost felt like the room was shared with next door.
Second night much quieter which made a huge difference. Motel is at the top of the beach and a nice walk into town, Beach is lovely and Kingscliffe a lovely little town.

Amazing motel. A great find. Super clean, 24hr kitchen, little reception area where you can buy beer/mixers and snacks. Coffee cart outside in the morning. Nice little pool too. Would definitely return.

Best motel ever!!
Blue Water is one of the best motels I've ever stayed at.
Lots of quirky fun decor items, and modern practical ideas.
The whole makeover of the motel is fresh, fun and totally welcoming.
Pool is great too.
Has a coffee van at front of property that opens early ....... good coffee and fresh pastries daily.
We will definitely stay here again but will make it at least two nights next time.
Looking forward to enjoying the whole vibe in the near future. 💫💫

Anna
The motel room is very retro, funky, beachy, just as the pictures show. It has been remodelled and everything feels fresh. The swing out window with bar seating is very nice.
The motel is a short walk from a beautiful beach. Really lovely spot for our overnight stay!

Francine
I booked a last minute stay at the property and it was great. Being a ground floor room which I was able to park near made it a lot easier travelling solo with kids. Having the coffee van on site was really convenient too. It’s pretty far from the main Kingscliff shops and cafes but it’s still a very nice area close to the beach and very walkable. The communal kitchen was very handy. I would definitely stay here again and it’s great knowing that pooches are welcome too!
Julia
Nice Theme, but Walls Are Too Thin
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.

Lovely clean pet friendly rooms. Located the quiet end of Kingscliff, walking distance to the beach. Coffee kiosk out front. Just lovely!
Yvette
The seaside vibe attracted me to this accomodation as well as the presentation of the property. The provisions were great, the cleanliness excellent and the bed was very comfortable. The contactless check in / check out was simple and efficient, with no time limits on check-in which made arrival time flexible and a lot less stressful. A lovely place to stay.

Interesting setup worth considering another visit when not travelling for eork

ROBYNA
This uniquely decorated motel offers an Instagram-worthy stay near the beach. The funky decor extends throughout, creating a cute and memorable atmosphere.
Pros:
- Stylish, photo-worthy decor
- Excellent shared kitchen facilities
- Free bike rentals (ask reception for codes)
- Convenient water taps in kitchen - sparkling and still. Don’t try to use the tap in your tiny sinked bathroom!
- Lovely outdoor courtyard with coffee van. The coffee is excellent.
- Close to beach
- Good base for exploring local attractions
Tips:
- Arrive during reception hours (10-5) for smooth check-in and bike access
- Use SmartThings app for TV volume control if remote is finicky. We couldn’t get our volume to work with the remote.
- Pool is unheated and compact
- Beach can be windy; try Dreamtime Beach for shelter - just in the shadow of Fingal Heads if a NE.
Minor Cons:
- Self-service style limits staff interaction which can be frustrating if you are trying to figure out how to access things as it’s all via codes.
- Some tech issues (TV remote)
Overall, a charming stay with some quirks. Perfect for those seeking a unique coastal experience. Would definitely return, armed with insider knowledge for an even better visit.
Pros:
- Stylish, photo-worthy decor
- Excellent shared kitchen facilities
- Free bike rentals (ask reception for codes)
- Convenient water taps in kitchen - sparkling and still. Don’t try to use the tap in your tiny sinked bathroom!

This place was so lovely we stayed an extra night as we were not ready to leave.
Love that it’s dog friendly ($50 extra and so worth it)
Kids loved the pool.
Beds were comfy.
Beautiful beach steps away and a little further up is the off leash dog friendly beach.
The free bikes they have to use were awesome to head into the main restaurant area for margaritas or a beer by the beach.
Nice size in room fridge and plenty of cutlery and dishes for at home eating as well as a 24/7 shared kitchen to cook or wash up.
We loved it and can’t wait to come back.

The bare concrete floor was a bit much.
Angela
comfy bed, very slippery floor after shower would be the only downside but otherwise perfect
Dean
Just an incredibly enjoyable stay. Very trendy, and loved it from top to bottom. Very fair for the price.

Set back off the road , clean and dog friendly. Couldn’t work out the volume control on the remote but found subtitles. No microwave in the room but found kitchen area open 24/7.
Has a good door control with code texted before arrival which made for easy check in

Nice place. Digital/online checkin is amazing and should be what everyone is doing.
Ross
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.
Peter
The staff were extremely nice and welcoming

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.
Hayden
A stunning little oasis!
paul
A quality motel, with exceptional inclusions & accessories in the room.
Also, had bikes for use for an easy ride up the beach to town.
Lovely staff.

Our room was spotlessly clean and the beds were super- comfortable. The room had been renovated to a very high standard with a good layout and everything well-thought out. The bathroom was immaculate with a great shower and designer fittings. Parking and check-in was very easy. In a quiet location just a few minutes' walk to the beach, we were very pleased we chose Blue Water Motel for our short stay.
Chris
1/ The property is different from the photos on the website. A little bit disappointed
2/ The bath room doesn't have curtain and make the floor so slippery. I almost fell down

No instructions on how to use the TV
Had to ask for wifi password
Perhaps a welcome type book on the above would be nice

If I could give 10 stars I would. The room was absolutely stunning! It was clean, beautifully furnished and just the style I love! Check in was easy using the door code. It was quiet and close to shops, restaurants and the beach. We'll be back for sure.
Lynn
Clean and comfortable, unique decorating.
Helen
Perfect for our needs.
Phillip
Very clean.
Nathan
It was good
Lee
Beautifully renovated and comfortable
Newly renovated rooms that are clean and comfy not far from the beach. We stayed in the family suite for one night - mum, dad and adult daughter. Main room had the queen bed, kitchenette and dining table, while the second bedroom had two single beds - with own air con. The bathroom had a big bath. The complimentary tea/coffee and toiletries were luxe. We noticed that bikes and surfboards were available. Reception was lovely, we bought two of their tote bags - they're big and sturdy. Check in was via a code and was easy and simple. Will definitely be back for a longer stay.
Cristian
Just like in the photos - nice, clean and quiet
Carlie
It was so easy to check in and check out. The room was really cute and retro - the decor was nice and I especially loved the bathroom. Giant shower with one of those rain fall shower heads, the mirror even had bulbs all around it which made doing my make up so easy. It's so close to the beach, cafes/restaurants and Woolies and a servo. I will definitely be visiting again! :)
