Manly Marina Cove Motel

What guests think

At Manly Marina Cove Motel, travellers highlight very friendly service, spacious and comfortable rooms, and a quiet marina-side setting close to the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, making it convenient for regattas and relaxed stays away from Brisbane’s busier areas.

Facilities are basic but practical, with easy on-site parking; some amenities like in-room toasters are no longer provided. Many guests enjoy pleasant waterfront walks and access to Manly Village’s cafes and markets, while a few felt the property was somewhat remote from central Brisbane or had limited immediate dining choice. Reported downsides include occasional musty odours, accessibility-style bathrooms that let water spread when showering, and mixed views on price. Expect a clean, low-key coastal stay.

Mom & Pop operation. Great service. Friendly people. Just unfortunate that with my disability the only twin bed ground floor available had a shower over a bathtub not a walk in shower. However managed for 2 night stay as room was big enough otherwise. Was given the room number to ask for next time on checkout, twin beds, roll in shower, being a disability room even though on 2nd floor there is a lift. There are only 2 floors. Restaurant next door at yacht Club. Great position for travellers. Will definitely be back.

It would be nice if we could use the conference room (used to be a breakfast room) to make toast in the mornings as there is no longer toasters in the rooms because of fire risk.

Lovely area, property, rooms, and staff. Convenient free parking. Rooms are spacious and beds very comfortable. Walking distance to shops, grocery store, bottle shop and restaurants. There is a small outdoor market nearby. We purchased beef at the IGA to barbecue on Moreton Island and we still rave about it today. Perfect place to stay the day before you ferry over to Moreton.

Though it is a property at the Marina but it location is on the back right corner away from the bay and even from the Marina. Practically there is no view at all. The people at the reception were very helpful and there is a cafe / bistro of the yacht club, which serves yummy food. Else there is food choices 600-800m on either side. There is nothing there to do except for the people connected with the Marina and that makes me wonder why did we book there. Got to see a very different laid back side of Brisbane. I found the property to be expensive at A$210 for a night in a motel.

They made sure that neighbours were more quiet. I think there beds are the most comfortable thing I have ever slept in. They have gone out of there way to make sure I have had a pleasant stay. I very grateful to them I think next time I come here it will be for a longer stay. So I can explore more of the beautiful surroundings. The food I’ve eaten here has been amazing. My eye have been blessed with stunning views. My life is full of abundance. Thank you Manly Marina Cove. 5*

When I booked my room I did not realise it would be with a disability bathroom which I did not particularly like. While I wanted to be on the ground floor I was not expecting this. When you had a shower it flooded the toilet area and most of the bathroom. There was no vanity around the washbasin and no where to put your toiletries, etc. The bed was nice and it was close to the Yacht club so dining was convenient.
