Blue Heron Motel

Mermaid Beach

10/10 Excellent

We are glad we found this little gem of a hotel from this site! It is small but has a cosy modern vibe to it. We like the little extras they had in the room like the the Nespresso machine that you normally find in more upscale hotels. The supplied ear plugs was a first for me and came in handy for peaceful sleep! Lol. We highly recommend this hotel and will stary here again should we be in the area!

Iluka Motel

10/10 Excellent

We were traveled from Brisbane to Kiama and stopped off in Iluka for two nights. What a great spot. Very quiet town. The Motel exceeded our expectations. It is well located. Can walk to everything. Kiama Nature Reserve, beach, shopping, restaurants, ferry to Yamba. Mecca and his wife were extremely friendly helpful, and kind. We did the rainforest walk and came back along the beach, it ended up taking us a lot longer than planned -got dark and rained, but they checked on us to make...

this was an incredible place to stay! Rose was so kind and super helpful, she is one of the sweetest people! we were welcomed with a basket of goodies for free, self check in was super easy, we arrived around 9pm, got our key and let ourselves in! we were here for 3 nights and Rose let us borrow bikes for free throughout our stay and it was nothing short of amazing! the area is so beautiful and bikeable, all the dining and shopping is ~5-15 minute bike ride. the beach is absolutely beautiful....

The Cheshire Cat Motel

Palm Beach

8/10 Good

Cool motel vibe with nice aesthetics. The room was clean and functional, though the bathroom is quite small. Sound insulation is poor—if you have noisy or partying neighbours, you’ll hear everything happening in their room. The pool area can also get very crowded; if other guests are there, expect limited space and possibly having to sit on the floor. Otherwise, check-in was smooth and communication was good—everything is contactless.
