A wonderful stay with beachfront views without breaking the bank
Pros:

Very clean with nice touches in the rooms. I give this high review simply due to affordable beachfront clean accom and friendly staff. There is nowhere Ive been in Qld where you get look right out at the ocean for under $170 a night on a weekend. It is a great location from the local cafes, Bribie Hotel, shops and the ocean. The rooms were cleaned with care, the beds were comfortable and it has all the little touches that matter; tea, coffee, water, milk, biccies, aircon and a smart tv. It really was a lovely overnight stay for the price. You could do 2 nights here and have a great short break in Bribie and have enough money to enjoy the local markets, restaurants and cafes. Will be back!

Cons:

Nothing

Room was spacious and comfy.

Doors rattled in wind which was a bit annoying. Had to slot a bit of cardboard in to stop the rattle.

Great family base to explore Bribie island from!
Pros:

The breakfast boxes added a nice touch. Rooms were cleaned daily which was good to have fresh towels etc.

The playground in the restaurant was a hit with the kids.

The rooms had space to move in.

The restaurant was good value.

The staff seemed genuinely nice and helpful.

Cons:

Our 1 year old could open the door that led directly to the car park. It would be better if they had a bolt or lock higher that prevented the easy escape!

Also would be handy to have a little dust pan in the room to be able to tidy the inevitable sand.

A lot of light was let into the room from the carpark area which made the brightness difficult to sleep.
