What guests think

At Buderim Fiesta Motel, guests describe a simple, older-style stopover with many clean, comfortable rooms and a friendly, easy check-in, though ongoing renovations and small, basic spaces mean expectations should be set for no-frills, budget-minded stays.

Many appreciate the quiet setting and find the location convenient by car, as shops and public transport are not close. Recurring drawbacks include the pool being closed or green during renovations, dated rooms with intermittent maintenance and security issues, and occasional lapses in cleanliness such as pests or missed replenishment. Service is often friendly and contactless, though some guests report limited staff presence or difficult communication. Overall, expect a basic, budget motel suited to short, car-based stays while works continue.

Not far from the beach but with a much cheaper tariff. Old building but very comfortable and perfectly suitable for an overnight stay. Didn’t see the staff but received an email with easy checkin details. Parking in front of room. In a quiet area off the highway.

I found a flea in the bed. The property is building the pool so is false advertising and the rooms don't get clean every day. If the pool and BBQ is not available they should be honest about it. Is misleading to advertise the pool when is under construction. I booked there thanking I'll be using the pool.

We were coming into the Sunshine Coast late and needed somewhere close to where we had to be the following day. We booked through Expedia at a great price, was at night, arrived and Julia went above and beyond for us welcoming and helping, and even offering to move her own car to help us have somewhere to park as we were in a furniture truck, was clean today, and comfortable, was all that we needed . Highly recommended.

My partner has a disability, so we needed a motel close to The Big Pineapple because it is on his bucketlist and it was a special birthday. All I wanted was to read a book in front of a pool and sleep in. The pool was under construction... there was a hole, a digger, and a truck that made reverse beeping sounds outside our room for 30 minutes from 7 AM on Friday morning... no sleep in... no pool... no notification that the motel was a work site, which was quite dangerous for my partner's disability, not to mention the headache that lasted most of the day due to the beeping truck and digger. The property was fine but we should have been notified about the maintenance so we could make an informed decision. Overall felt deceived and we were really dissappointed. At the end of the day we still had a nice ebough time and had a laugh about our luck.

We were a little disappointed in the condition of the room. It looked like renovations were being done to the facility and we may have gotten assigned a room that had not been updated yet. There were stains on the floor and on the bedsheets. The bathroom window made us uncomfortable as there was an opaque window cover with holes that could easily be looked through and the shades in the main room window were installed on the outside of the window frame so there was a sliver of window that could be seen through as well. The windows themselves were not very secure either. Additionally, the lock on the door could be more secure and the outside light needs repaired as we had to return to our room around the side of the building in the dark. The owner was very kind and did allow us to do an early check in. They also responded in person to assist us with a concern we had. Overall, if renovations were completed, this could be a nice place to stay for a night or two.

I found several cockroaches in the kitchenette during my first night. Despite the unpleasantness I killed them and cleaned them up. The second night I woke up to insect noises and found a big cockroach and some small ones walking behind it. I felt very disgusted and could not sleep. I notified staff who moved me into a new room for my final night but it was a very unpleasant experience.

The room was basic but clean. The bed comfortable but not luxurious. The bathroom had recently been renovated - the shower was hot and had great water pressure. The photos were deceptive, it is a ‘tired’ motel. Only stayed there one night as it was somewhere to sleep.

Nothing stands out. All good, no office person needs to call. But she let me check in early. Quite, which was good. Thought I was booking a big bed but I got a very small room with single bed. Just fans no air ac. On website didn’t say if you book for one, you booked for a very small room with single bed. Only cleaning lady here. Hums, she was sort of ok. Ok for one night.

What I liked about the property was how quiet the room was. The motel was convenient to where I needed to go for an event only due to having a car as public transport was not close by. I didn’t like that there was no safe to place valuable items in or a luggage stand to place luggage on. No sink in the bathroom so had to use the same sink that you used to wash the dishes.The front door was not very safe with a glass panel that could easily be broken to access the room.

Room was very small and window could not be locked. As a result anyone could open it and then reach around to the door and gain entry. When reported to reception he was not interested. We went and bought a piece of doweling to make the window safe. Never again.

The host was really friendly & accommodating. Quick response to messages & really convenient with check in & check out. The only things for recommendation would be a rug or something to wipe your feet on as the floor is lino & it was raining outside, so feet felt dirty after showering & the powrerpoints by the the TV didnt work. Otherwise great. Easy to find.
