We stayed there for a couple of nights which gave a good base to do some exploring of the surrounding hinterland. The unit was was reasonable size, clean and looked fresh. It had good wifi and good sized TV. Our only gripe was we asked for a ground level unit but ended up on the first floor which involved going up and down this metal staircase.

Not many places to stay in Pottsville so we booked a night at this Motel. A Saturday night so the price was higher $190. Room was okay, and amenities were good , but the seating was a wrought iron garden type table and chairs, which were not comfortable. Felt it was overpriced for what comfort was offered. Probably wont stay again.

We stayed here recently for a family wedding. We were in one of the older rooms that had not yet been renovated. This in itself was not a problem. The problem was that the room was dirty. There was food wrappers under the bed, the top of the fridge was filthy , and was one of the only places to store food etc. The cupboard where the plates etc were kept stank of pest control, so much that we were holding our breath to reach in for a mug or a glass, and then thoroughly washing them before use. The only fry pan in the place was a huge electric one in the cupboard and it had a layer of old fat on it when we pulled it out to use it. The room was supposed to be "self contained" and there were six of us staying, but there was not enough bowls, mugs or glasses for 6 people. We stayed for 3 nights and our bins were not emptied nor were fresh towels offered.

Apart from the fact that you did not notify us that the motel was under renovation, while we were required to still pay full price for a room, the following issues were unacceptable in your hotel:
* The room was booked for 2 adults and two children, yet you were unable to lock or even secure in place the security door onto the car park. with no air-conditioning and no opening windows apart from in the bathroom, this seems 1. a safety issue for what was a "family" room with the door opening onto a car park 2. a health and safety issue - no clean air and 3. a security threat to your hotels belongings.
* The bathroom was so mouldy, a) behind the toilet and b) in the shower i was unable to let my grandchildren have a shower and walk barefoot in the bathroom area.
* The bathroom ceiling was covered in something I could not even identify.
* The queen bed had two mattresses on the base, which even my two year old grandson described as a "trampoline bed" as each time you moved you almost fell out the side.
* There was no clock, no telephone, no material which other hotels provide on the local area and what is available.
*I can only assume the hotel faces west as the afternoon sun on the building made it almost impossible to stand the heat in the building until sunset, again because i was unable to have the glass door open as my two grandchildren could open the screen door onto your car park and the one fan in the room struggled to cool the room down enough.
In addition to the above, scanning Gold Coast hotel websites, there are a number of 3 and 4 star hotels which are currently charging the same price as you, $120.00 for a Saturday night stay!
This was very disappointing and had we have had the funds we would have found alternate accommodation as even the 2 year olds did not want to stay in your establishment

For quite a while,The Pottsville Beach Motel has had and still does have, 2 distinguishing qualities...
Being only 100 metres from the most beautiful white sandy surf beach that extends for about 100 metres in one direction and 3 kilometres in the other. (Do not go to the beach looking for a crowd, 1000 beach umbrellas, annoying hair braiders or trinket sellers because you will disappointed). You will have white sand, blue seas and serenity.
The second is Chrissy, the Manager. 'All knowing, all singing, all dancing, all powerful.' Nothing is too much trouble and all problems are solvable with a minimum of fuss.
Now there is a third side to the triangle... Shane and Kim... the new owners.
Shane and Kim are in the process of transforming this easy going seaside motel into Beautifully Crisp Well Appointed Accommodation.
I am currently in-house. I have stayed several times before and I have paid the Rack-Rat. I have seen the new exoskeleton and have seen the new rooms. Those who have read my previous reports know that, I tell it as it I see it and am able to offend.
I there-fore reccommend this Motel most highly.

If you're looking for a five star hotel, best to go buzz off back to the Gold Coast.
This is a nice quiet motel that I have stayed at time and time again. All the basics, short stroll to the beach, close to town.
So many nice eating locations close by. The beaches up the road are fantastic! Byron Bay and Bangalow are just down the road.
The fishing is wonderful at the Mooball Creek. Permits available in town.
I can't say enough nice things about the management. They look after people and make sure there's no people misbehaving.

I recently stayed here with two friends over New Year’s Eve in one of the non-renovated rooms. I first had misgivings upon unlocking the front door to the room – both it and the lock and handle were incredibly flimsy. Though I doubt any of the guests, being mostly young families, would have broken into our room, it certainly did not give a feeling of security.
Secondly, the room. It had no aircon, only a ceiling fan, the breeze from which barely reached anywhere but the bed right underneath it. Promises of a ‘sea breeze’ from the female manager sadly went unfulfilled, even though every single window was left open throughout the afternoon and evening. The position of the room also provided some concern – it was quite possible for anyone walking along the upper-storey balcony to see directly into the room unless the curtains were kept closed. This unfortunately included the bathroom.
Furthermore, I can only assume that the way this room protrudes out over the car park has some effect on the acoustics of the place (especially when the windows need to be kept open at all times lest the inhabitants die of heat exhaustion), as at approximately 10pm – while I was fast asleep and my two friends awake and talking – we had a visit from the male manager who quite rudely told my friends to ‘shut it’. Although I am by no means a light sleeper, it seems to me that something that is apparently keeping many other guests awake and that was audible over the manager’s television set would wake me up. Perhaps a solution would be to install air conditioning so that the windows could be kept closed?
After reading many of the other reviews here it seems that the rude attitude adopted by the male manager is standard. It is a mystery to me why these two are managing a hotel. The pool was probably the one redeeming feature of the place, as it was modern and a decent size; however, I strongly recommend staying elsewhere (but if you want to use the pool I’m sure the managers won’t mind - three teenagers staying at the camping ground next door enjoyed it for nearly half an hour without attracting the managers’ wrath, though the pool gate clearly states the facility is for ‘motel guests only’).

Hi Hayley Thank you for the recent review of your stay. We would firstly like to apologise for the rudeness you encountered from staff here over the New Year period. We have addressed these issues and are pleased to say that we now have a wonderful management team on board (who have previously run this Motel) and have extensive experience in managing Motels and Caravan Parks. In regards to the issues with the room, im sure that when you booked it would have been pointed out that the room was not renovated. Whilst our renovated rooms are clean and comfortable, they are older style rooms and only the renovated rooms have air conditioning. We have never had any complaints about the privacy of this room before. We hope that you still had an enjoyable New Year. Kind regards Pottsville Beach Motel

Recently we stayed here for the 2nd time in the last 12 months. The 1st time in an original room and the 2nd in a renovated room. While the original room was basic, clean and comfortable the renovated one was the way to go. We travelled with our 5 year old daughter and found that the kitchenette was such a huge bonus for self catering and it was great to have a decent motel shower and a vanity basin that you can fit everything in without it falling off the basin.And with a five year old we made full use of the fantastic pool and pool area. It was also pleasing to be able to walk to everything, particularly the Sunday markets and the beach. So all in all we had a pleasant stay.
