We stayed 3 nights at the Arlie Beach Motor Lodge in March 2011.
We had first booked 2 nights (1 night before and 1 night after a 2-day cruise in the Whitsunday islands), but as I suffered a terrible seasickness, I had to come back earlier from the cruise and stayed at the Motor Lodge for the 2nd night. As my partner stayed on the cruise and I felt really bad, the staff was full of attention to help me. We received a new room, that was even better than the first one (more modern).
The staff was also very helpful when we had to change our plans because of the flooding in Queensland.
Nice balcony or small terrace depending on the room.
Wifi available.
We recommend this accomodation for the friendliness of the staff and the good rooms!

This was clean but very tired accomodation, central position (up a hill). Not that cheap for Motel accommodation

A two minute walk from the town centre (but up a bit of a hill), this motel is a little run down, but clean and with reasonable facilities - good sized room, fridge and microwave, a small pool, and (important to us) free internet.

Karen the receptionist was very helpful with organising boat trips etc.

Overall good value.
