What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Right from check in we were made to feel so welcomed. Our room was immaculate, beds super comfortable and the shower/bathroom amazing. We stayed for 2 nights for Anzac Day but definitely would have stayed longer if we didn't have other commitments. Our daughter loved the pool which was sparkling clean. We loved that there was also a clean BBQ in the pool area we were able to use. Convenient location to beaches, parks and restaurants/cafes. Literally everything was only a couple of minutes or so away. Management - Ann, Adam and of course Baz were super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back at least once a year (minimum). Thank you for an amazing stay.”
“A great motel, owners super friendly and helpful. The room lovely clean and fresh, not the biggest but was perfect for our short 1 night stay . Location is good for the beach and plenty of amenities close by.”
“Moffart Beach Motel Caloundra Qld. The room was spacious, clean and quiet. There was everything I needed for an overnight stay. The shower was clean with good water pressure and clean towels. Would definitely stay there again.”
“Loved our stay here. Walking distance to surf beach, playground and cafes, chip shops, restaurants. Room was nicely decorated and exceptionally clean. Good wifi. Comfortable beds with good linen. Good water pressure in the shower. Pool was lovely. The place is a great choice if you just want to be close to beach without bankrupting yourself. There is a bit of traffic noise but the rooms are quiet and that's what matters. We will definitely be back.”
“Fantastic motel. Immaculate rooms and great swimming pool. Great location for the beach and a few local bars/restaurants close by.”
