What guests think

At Reef Gateway Hotel, travelers repeatedly highlight friendly staff, spacious and comfortable rooms, a convenient location close to shops and a short drive to Airlie Beach, plus the on-site pub and dining that make stays straightforward.

Multiple reviews mention noise from the pub, beer garden, and nearby traffic, as well as thin walls that carry sound. Rooms are often described as older or worn, with occasional maintenance and cleanliness issues such as cracked fixtures, mould in bathrooms, and isolated housekeeping oversights. Good for travelers seeking space and a handy base, less ideal for light sleepers.

Positief Goede prijs/kwaliteit. Onder carport auto parkeren waardoor geen super hete auto bij vertrek. Lekker eten bij locatie al is de ruimte niet zo gezellig doordat het groots opgezet is. Voelt druk aan. Negatief Beide 2x uitgegleden vanuit badkamer naar slaapkamer doordat tegels vochtig blijven doordat er geen afzuiging in de badkamer is voor douchen. Er zijn geen nachtlampjes waardoor alleen felle lamp aan is te dien voor licht savonds in de kamer. 1-laags toiletpapier....waardoor je toch meer nodig hebt....niet praktisch aanvoelt . Kamer13 is 1e kamer vanaf de straat waardoor geluid van auto's goed hoorbaar was.

This motel did the job for a two night stay. On the plus side the room was very spacious, had a microwave and fridge. The motel is attached to a bar with inside and outside dinning space and the food is good value for money and we enjoyed our meal. If you like slot machines, playing Pool, watching sport on TV, there is a dedicated bar and this is the place for you. On the negative side I found the room was "tired", for example, it had gaps around the doors, a cracked sink, very worn floor tiles in the shower room and generally felt grubby. It did however have a good refurbished shower!

Everything was good, but one thing that was not good was that when I opened the lid to use the kettle, it was so dirty that I couldn't use it. The moment I saw the dirty kettle, I felt so bad and wondered if other places were dirty too.

If you want to sleep in stained sheets that won’t get changed the duration of your stay and listen to pub music until 9:30pm on weekdays and 11pm on weekends then this place is for you. No one answered reception phone the times I called. Had to go and buy toilet paper because we were given 1 roll for 6 nights. Bathroom was mouldy and the shower door didn’t close properly and flooded the bathroom. Only saving grace was that the bed was comfy.
