Marineland Beachfront Accommodation

What guests think

At Marineland Beachfront Accommodation, travellers frequently praise the welcoming, accommodating staff and convenient beachfront location, while several note the older, dated condition of the property and interruptions to amenities such as the pool.

Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with many clean and tidy rooms reported alongside complaints about musty smells, bathroom issues, and occasional lapses in housekeeping. Rooms are often spacious and comfortable for families, some with sea views, but guests also mention inconsistent Wi-Fi or TV, limited in-room equipment, lack of air conditioning in some units, and occasional noise from the road or other guests. Facilities are basic, and parking can be convenient at the door yet cramped or limited at times. Expect friendly service and a simple, beachside stay with modest comforts.

Whilst the staff were great, the motel is quite old and a bit run down. Our room was spacious enough (for 3) however its facilities were generally old and dated with some minor maintenance issues. Our parking spot was handily at the door and access to the stony beach is out the back entrance and across the quiet road.

We had to ask for a plug for the bath, which the owner got from another room. After multiple attempts, the jet tub was faulty and didn’t work - dishwasher faulty too, pool was closed when we arrived so had a swim in the morning, this was the highlight of the stay. Family friendly place.

Dated accommodation but ok. With small children the main attraction to the motel was the pool but it was out of order. There was also a lack of information in the room. No book / wifi password or other information.

There were two barrels of cooking fat by the side of the pool entryway that were leaking. I happened to step in it, a terrible mess. The soap dispenser in the shower was empty. If it is not to be used then remove it. I noticed a ring of past beverages around the rim of my coffee mug after I made a cup. No mention of breakfast was said when we checked in, yet the room directory said that if we wanted it delivered to our room we had to tell them. Only one piece of soap was for the shower and the bathroom sink. We rang 3 times on arriving and plenty of time in between. Arrived back to the room at 2:30 in the afternoon, thinking the room would have been inspected for insufficient toiletries, etc, but we were asked around 3 if there was anything we needed. The toilet is a step up from the sleeping area. No plug on the one side of the bed. Parking was difficult and cramped

The room had so much disinfectant smell that I had to leave the door open for an hour and an half to clear the air. Discovered after 5pm that I needed to go to the office to get password etc to use wifi ,but office was closed. Why is the wifi codes not supplied in the room or when you arrive.

Room is good. But the toilets need more cleaning. Was smelly and had stains. Door locks to the back and back porch was broken. That is a high security risk. Mostly because the gate to the property was open the whole night. Other than that our stay was pleasent.

Staff was really really friendly and welcoming, had a great experience from the moment we checked in. Things that could be improved: - The wifi was quite bad at connecting to our devices as well as the TV. The TV had sky but limited channels - for example there were no available movie channels. - There was a musty smell when we first entered the room, it smelt like the vacuum was either full or not cleaned properly. - The bathroom had a lingering sewage smell, not overly smelly but not pleasant. - There was hair left in the spa bath/shower before we had used it. - Dusty skirting boards and furniture, after a little wipe down it was fine. We still had a great experience at this motel and the staff were absolutely lovely! If I was just rating the service from the staff it would be 5 stars but this my honest review. -

Nice stay, room had a little lounge with 2 rooms, but room had a very musty mildew smell, had to turn on the AC up high to try to move some air around for a while. The bathroom was clean but the toilet seat was quite old, could do a bit of an upgrade. But overall was a good stay

This property is NOT as advertised. The grounds are dirty and leaf litter from several weeks, everywhere. The buildings are in disrepair and our door was a very unsafe sliding glass door. Reception refused any refund and we had literally been there 5 minutes and I addressed my concerns. DON’T STAY HERE

Online booking wasn’t working properly, I did receive a call from Motel as to issues. Check in was quick & easy, the room probably needed to be aired out prior to arrival curtains closed no windows open, the bed was very uncomfortable these are small things and saying that I might return, the Internet didn’t work properly where our room was situated. The restaurant food and staff were excellent & very accommodating was a nice way to end the day very relaxing.
