Moffat Beach Motel Caloundra

Moffat Beach Motel Caloundra

📍 56 Roderick St, Caloundra, Moffat Beach
★★★ 8.8 (101 reviews)

"We only stayed one night, but overall we were satisfied. The landlady was incredibly kind and very helpful. She told us to just ask if we needed anything. Our room was clean and tidy, and various appliances, such as a kettle, were provided. Each unit had its own parking space. The Wi-Fi signal was reasonably good and the speed was adequate. What bothered us were the thin walls, which made everything very noisy, and the street noise was clearly audible in the room! Furthermore, the beds were simply too soft; a restful sleep was impossible!"

ULTIQA Shearwater Resort Hotels in Caloundra

ULTIQA Shearwater Resort

"Unfortunately this is not a very good “hotel” We paid $350 per night for 8 nights. The staff are unhelpful and condescending. You have you check yourself in and upload your own documents on your phone (ID and credit card). The rooms are not very clean. Lots of mould and stains and general dust and dirt. The room IS NOT serviced. So no cleaning no matter how long you stay. If you ask for another bath towel you are made to feel bad. I had to ask for dishwashing liquid. I was told they can give me 2 sachets and after that I have to buy my own. No one ever bought me any. When I rang again the lady said just come and get them next time you leave the hotel. There is only 1 person on reception and they do the house keeping too. So when we arrived he had been called to a room. We had to wait downstairs til he had finished his job till we could check in. If you ring the front office 9 times out of 10 no one answers because no one it at the deck. Offices hours are 10am to 4pm. If you have any problem outside of these hours, too bad. The pool is very dirty. Lots of bugs and toilet paper floating in it. Beach towels are $10 each to use. Our room was located next to a rubbish Bing shoot and recycling bin. We complained for 8 days straight that we were getting continuously woken by the noice from the bins. There responce was “we cannot control when people throw their rubbish awake” I was shocked at their responce. On the last day we were offered to move rooms (after 7 days of complaints. We can move if WE pay a $150 cleaning fee! Oh and I forgot to mention there are glass tiles in the lounge area the lead to the next rooms balcony. So we can see them on their balcony and the can look into our lounge room! Same goes for the other side. We could look into their lounge room and the could look into our balcony."

"Stayed at Tranquil Shores for 4 nites, really enjoyed our stay, the location is great, walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants & bars. Our accommodation was clean, spacious and enjoyed sitting on the front verandah enjoying the sunsets. The management was very helpful showing us the top places to visit in the area including Australia zoo and the emundi markets. Rhys is very helpful and really went out of his way to make our stay a special one. Highly recommend Tranquil Shores, will definately be back soon."

La Promenade Hotels in Caloundra

"My friend and I had booked our apartment a few months ago for our May holiday. We chose the top floor so we could enjoy the roof, the spa and the view. This meant paying extra but we did not mind as this was our two-year girl’s get-together. The staff were lovely, the apartment clean and pleasant. The view of Bribie and the strait was beautiful. However, the next morning a terrible racket started overhead without any warning. When we complained, we were told that the workmen were fixing a leak in the roof and the noise would continue til late afternoon. This happened for the three full days we were there. We were driven out of our apartment by the noise before 9.00 am and it did not cease until after 3.30 pm. We could not have an afternoon nap or spa or relax on the balcony. By our last day my friend started packing up intending to leave early. In the end she agreed to stay but we left more exhausted and stressed than when we arrived. Also, the staff were having to put up with abuse from other occupants who were also upset by the noise. My friend made numerous phone calls and emails to complain to management but there was a decided lack of response until she received an email weeks later explaining about the leak in the roof and future renovations to apartments and offering 15% off our next stay. I really don’t think we will be taking them up on the offer if this noise is what we can expect"

"The motel was easy to find. We were surprised to find no front desk but just calling/messaging the number at the front post box was able to get us to someone at their end to start the check in process. The check in process was smooth and easy. The amenities in the room was great and the room itself was spacious. There was even a nice coffee machine and pantry area in the wardrobe. There was no free Netflix account as advertised in the room details but there were other TV channels to watch as well. It was still a great stay overall and we would recommend the place."

Saltwater on the Peninsula Hotels in Caloundra

"Honestly, don't waste your money and time at this property under the current management. There was very limited information on the procedure to gain access to the unit we rented. It was like an escape room challenge that we didn't need. Room was beat up, dirty and back door had no ability to lock. The remote controls for the gates didn't work well and we had to press them multiple times to get it to work. There was no explanation on how to use the lift as you need to use a key to get back to your car. I am grateful that a resident shared this information with us. People kept using our allocated carpark which left us uncertain on where to park. If you like mould, dust, filthy windows, greasy marks all over the kitchen and fridge, pet hair and a mattress protector that looks like a crime scene then this is your dream stay🤢"

"Airbnb at hotel prices. Apartment complex mixed with permanent residents. A/C in the bedrooms only. No insect screens on any of the doors or windows. Internet was constantly dropping out until it didn’t work at all. Called reception & was instructed to call the internet service provider myself and log a job, earliest appointment day before I checking out. View was obstructed with large & noisy earthmoving equipment whom were completely reconstructing the rock wall ocean front directly in front of the hotel/airbnb. Dated building with corrosion evident everywhere. Cheap furnishings and appliances, fridge door would not shut properly and a dishwasher was was faulty. Would not consider again."

"We booked unit 70 which was 3 bedroom but there was only 3 of us but the lounges looked comfortable which my husband needs so that's why we booked it. As always love the views but the unit definitely needs to be upgraded and it was very drab, not much decor, I know we pay for the location and views but would be nice to have a more modern unit. Also pool says it's heated and salt water, definitely didnt feel like it was.But sure we will be back."

"Very clean and spacious apartment. Very surprised at the size and amenities that is provided. Has 2 pools, one heated and one normal. Bulcock Beach is directly across the road and was awesome to see the whales from the shore line. Lesley (manager) is an absolute pleasure to deal with. Very knowledgeable on attractions and places to eat etc. "

"Economic and fast standard, the room smells of damp, there is no facial tissue or bottled water in the room, and there is no restaurant in the hotel that provides breakfast, what a surprise! The only thing that is not surprising is that the booking on Ctrip can't get a good floor or room type, and the first floor is not surprising! One of the worst hotels ever"

North Shore Oceanside Kawana ★★★★
"Lovely location. Close to alot of necessities most notably a hospital and a shopping centre all within walking distance. Has a beautiful lake popular with fitness oriented people. Wasn't overly fond of my room as I was placed next door to a family with screaming kids. And the close proximity to each other means we can hear every little sound like the banging of doors nd chatter. That was my only gripe. Also the parkings great as we all have our own allocated spot. Would definitely come back here again but next time have my own door. And lastly the price i found was affordable for a solo traveller. 👍"

"Walls of room were scuffed and needed painting. Skirting boards in room parted from wall and needed affixing. Draw would not close and needed fixing. Amenities good but place was showing rust leaks in garden bed walls. Pity so much potential but needed care."

"Check-in was very smooth, the balcony view was beautiful, the two rooms did not disturb each other, and the living and dining room was very convenient for friends to gather. There are Japanese and Italian restaurants opposite the hotel, and a Chinese restaurant next to it. Highly recommended"
