I love the bus & its proximity to all areas around the Sunshine coast. The value for money & the use of a kitchen is great. The only negative is the bad smell of the kitchen as soon as you enter, I would definitely wash any cooking pots & utensils before you use them, but it's great to have the use of a kitchen & a fridge.

Small , clean and cosy with good security entry ,a great communal kitchen with everything you need including air fryer and sandwich prsss, perfect for our stay. The only thing was not overly sound proof as outside noise could be quite loud at times. Not within motel though. Off street Parking spaces are limited. Happy to stay again 👌

My grandie an I stayed for 4 nights, i got an ensuite room which was lovely an clean, comfy bed. Communal kitchen is large an kept clean. Pool was lovely, i would suggest that anybody with children make sure the kids can use pool before booking. I asked if my 2 grand babies 18mths came over could we take them in for dip...i got told no children in pool unfortunately. We really enjoyed our stay, glad for peace an quite time there. Staff are friendly helpful an happy.

I have no complaints. I had no face to face interaction with staff, but all was well organised for my check in. My room and my bathroom were very clean, the bed was very comfortable. It’s a nice budget hotel, I would have stayed one more night but there were no vacancies. I did not explore much of the area around, my destination was Noosa, about 20 min driving. Parking at the hotel was small but plenty of free parking spaces on the street. I’d go back to stsy there again.

Great location. Walkable to shops, dining options, bus stops everything in Coolum Beach. Few minutes walk to beach. Quiet area. If coming by bus only 8 minute walk to or from accommodation. Good size rooms, mini fridge in room. My room was a budget with shared bathroom. During my stay I never had issue with shower not being free to use. Good communal kitchen with plenty cooking space. More fridges to use if you've lots of food. Laundry with washer, dryer and outside line. Smoking is allowed on this property in designated area. If non smoker like me request a room away from smoking area. So smoke and chatter don't drift up to room. I'm clean, tidy freak and accommodation and facilities were good and felt happy staying but some areas need attention. Under beds, and laundry area need cleaning. Window shelves dusting. Didn't look like been done in very long while. This my second stay here was under different management before and place was spotless and great vibe. So maybe I can't help but compare. Still great place to stay. Coolum beach little gem.

For what it is it’s fantastic. It’s essentially like a cabin at a campsite or hostel-style accommodation but quieter, extremely clean, and well maintained. The room was spotless with clean linen, cookies and tea provided. Kitchen facilities were great, bathrooms perfectly fine, and staff were lovely.

Stayed in the Budget Double Room, Shared Bathroom. The price was definitely not "budget" enough for what you get. The room and shared bathroom were very old and dated. There's no soundproofing at all and was kept awake until late each night. The double bed was uncomfortable and collapsed in on one side.

The room did not have enough power points and it did not have any bedside lighting. Both these things would be helpful. As well I had to ask for help to operate the free to air television. Would have been useful if the instructions were laid out.

I did this booking online obviously ... I was privileged to be greeted by Bindi on my arrival, lovely lady, nice comfortable room, ground floor right next to all shared facilities, small car parking space right out front, easy access to my room and facilities, I could not be happier Thank you Bindi for your advice and information that I needed, very much appreciated indeed. I would not hesitate to revisit in the future. *NB - this is a low budget accommodation, very good for what it is, also with a good sized swimming pool, very refreshing! *

I travel alone for my business but enjoy the company of others.It was very nice having your very personable & helpful bloke in your office. However my billing didn't match the amount that I'd been quoted with my online booking.;I was charged more than the $270.40 which was the online quotation.
