"This was our first time staying at the Waters Edge and it was great. We chose it because of the close proximity to the Strand , restaurants and shops. The staff were extremely friendly. We got to check in early as our room was ready. The room was lovely and clean. It looked like the bathroom had just been renovated so that was nice. Plenty of space to spread out with suitcases. A kitchenette was also handy as we were staying for a few nights. Overall it was great. And we will definitely be back....
"The Beach House Motel is clean and very well presented. It's in a great location - lovely cafes and restaurants neaby, a short walk to Coles, and across from The Strand with lovely walking paths. The staff were incredibly friendly and very helpful. I would make this our stay of choice when travelling to town for medical appointments etc."
"Room was pokey very small bathroom. Staff excellent. The hotel security is excellent but outside the hotel there is and always will be itinerants hanging about in the mall and surrounds. keep your guard up."
"Excellent location, amazing view, very helpful and friendly staff, rooms dated, bathrooms need updating, would appreciate bedside lamps and more PowerPoints. Overall a wonderful stay, would stay here again"
"Check in was quick and easy. Lots of dining options in walking distance. Area is generally quiet. Room is very spacious and in good condition aesthetics wise.
Ceiling light above desk was not working, which was an issue for someone travelling for business and needs to work after dark. Was too late to do anything about it once found out (reception closes at 5pm). Aircon in the room was also extremely loud and ceiling fan looked extremely sketchy, wobbling so much you'd feel unsafe to use it....

A verified traveller stayed at Waters Edge The Strand
"Very kind staff. Some fixtures could do with upgrading like peeling showerhead abd scuff marks near the entrance on the carpet, but the staff more than made up for it with their prompt service with fixing the internet and allowing us to re enter the room after checkout to retrieve things. The view that came with the room is exceptional. The attached cafe also has great and fresh offerings. The markets on Sunday is just below on flinders street. For location you cannot do better. "
