Value for money.
Pros:

We got a clean and tidy room. Just across the road from the beach. Near a great restaurant. Pleasant staff and informative as well.

Cons:

Its a bit dated, but that adds a bit of character.

Pros:

Quiet location off the main Hwy. Great Bay views from top floor units. Undercover parking on site. All necessary amenities are included for an extended stay. Friendly staff. Grocery store nearby.

Cons:

Bathroom is very dated, however rest of unit facilities are fine. Is a bit of a hike to centre of town, but can do via waterfront walkway and appears can arrange a shuttle bus to town restaurants.

I would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Extremely large rooms and bathroom which is a bonus when staying for four nights and working from the room for some of the stay.

Cons:

A little way out of town, but it didn't really bother us. There is one restaurant close by.

Disappointed all round and would not recommend.
Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Tired the 2 story block looked designed for group tours in and out 1 night. Maintenance average. Water noise when tap/shower turned on was very loud. Arm chair should have gone to tip. The reason we picked the accommodation was an on site restaurant which was closed due to renovations. Not mentioned on website. No bottle opener in room and manager gone from office by 5pm and couldn’t contact her. Appeared to be standalone cabins empty but apparently the motel/holiday park was full.

Lovely motel room
Pros:

This was a regular motel room that had recently been nicely refurbished painted and had stunning views over the water. We liked the laundry facilities. Staff were friendly and helpful. We could stay one night, instead of the 2 night minimum others in Lucinda were enforcing. Each room.had a double and a single which suited us. We stayed here the night we finished a 5 day hike on Hinchenbrook. We caught the boat back to Lucinda to.our parked hire car and drove the 60kms up to Cardwell. We had a ground floor, sea view room.

Cons:

One room had a loud water hammer noise when the shower was running. No other faults. It was better than expected..
