Great over night stop
On road trip down south so wanted good place to stop to sleep and break the journey. This was a great choice and right on the beach. The owners were just delightful and made us welcome on every way. Some good eating spots close by. Definitely one to recommend and return back too.

Lovely Stop-Over
We had an amazing stay here. It was just a quick stopover, but we will definitely be back! It's such a perfect spot—a beautiful path along the water, close to everything, and so much more to explore than we originally thought, thanks to the owners' recommendations!

10/10 Exceptional

Our host was most welcoming, accommodation clean and everything was as we expected. Bed very comfy and decor lovely. Being right by the beach there was a good view and an easy stroll to the jetty to fish plus a few cafes etc. We booked the family suite as the photo made it appear that there was a separate extra bedroom. This we required for one of us to conduct private telehealth sessions, however the walls don't reach the ceiling and the wide entry has no door - just a note for anyone requiring extra privacy.

This place really is a little jewel on the Coral Coast. It's located directly opposite the most stunning view of the coast, Kelly and Chris are warm and welcoming, and the rooms are immaculate. So, if you're looking for somewhere comfy, clean and convenient to all that the beautiful town of Cardwell has to offer, then you may have just found yourself the best spot in town. Enjoy!

6/10 Good

Advertised as if it’s a lot better than what it actually is. It’s an old basic motel, that’s it. Yes, one end of the building faces the beach but the rooms do not, you can’t see the beach from any of the rooms I saw. Could be in an old outback shack.
