"Blue Waters Motel was the perfect spot to stay during my trip around tweeds head and the Gold Coast. I spent the trip around Chinderah and Kingscliff, so the location was awesome. It was clean, safe, and awesome amenities like fridge, access to a microwave, and a coffee hut on the premises. Will definitely be returning on my next whale outing. Cheers! "

"Love this resort. Have been staying here for years. Room was nice and clean. Recommend getting a pool view room as this means you are closer to the pool, and car park etc. the rooms could probably do with a bit of freshen up, but overall a great resort for families with beach access, pool and restaurants."

"Fantastic stay!! The reception was so welcoming (and smelled delightful) and the staff on the desk were so friendly and helpful. The lovely lady who checked us in remembered us during our stay which was so thoughtful. The lagoon pool is literally incredible. So big and spacious with ample pool lounges. We are enjoyed that the pool area was open until 10pm and enjoyed a late night swim/spa. Our room was so spacious, comfortable bed and fantastic in room spa. Honestly we can’t wait to return again...

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Varsity Lakes?
The best time to visit Varsity Lakes is during the autumn and spring months, specifically from March to May and September to November, when the weather is most pleasant.

During these periods, you'll experience warm, sunny days with lower humidity and less rainfall compared to the summer months. This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities like exploring the walking trails around Lake Orr or spending time at the nearby beaches without the intense heat or tropical storms.

Families will find these times particularly good for a holiday. The milder temperatures are superb for visiting attractions like the Gold Coast Theme Parks, which are just a short drive away, or simply enjoying the many parks and playgrounds around Varsity Lakes. School holidays in Australia can make these periods busier, so booking accommodation and activities in advance is advisable.

For couples looking for a relaxed getaway, these shoulder seasons offer a more tranquil experience. You can enjoy al fresco dining by the lake or explore the local cafes and shops in comfort.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Varsity Lakes hotel for you.
