Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Detailed Reviews
Wonderful time away from the Canadian winter at the SunSeeker Motel in Hervey Bay - friendly, clean, quiet accommodation with all the amenities including a well appointed kitchen, WiFi, AC, pool, sun deck & BBQ - all at an affordable price on the Esplanade just across the road from a beautiful sandy beach surrounded by bike trails, interesting shops and a variety of restaurants and coffee bistros. This well run family business operated by Michael and Lisa provides comfortable accommodation for families, business travellers and vacationers like myself who want easy access to the beach, shopping and dining. While I did not rent a car , the bus service was very convenient stopping in front of the motel and bike rentals were available from several shops. The SunSeeker Motel and Hervey Bay were delightful places to escape at least a part of the Canadian winter - I hope to return.

Great location, very spacious apartment and absolutely clean.
we stayed 4 nights. There is no daily room cleaning necessary because the owner offered us everything we needed, also fresh towels. Great service.

Great Location right across the beautiful beach of Hervey Bay. The rooms are a great size with a fridge. The beds are very comfy and the shower has great hot and cold water. The staff are super friendly and will stay there again.

This was our second stay at Sunseeker and it's now a firm favourite for any future trips to Hervey Bay. Lisa our host is so friendly, the location by the bay, in strolling distance to Enzo's on the Beach and the local Foodworks, is so convenient and the rooms are super-comfy and clean with everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Perfectly positioned, and beautifully presented! Sunseeker Motel is the ideal place for your Hervey Bay stay. We were very impressed with the layout and cleanliness of the rooms, and the close proximity to the beach, cafes, playgrounds etc. A beautiful part of the world, we highly recommend Sunseeker Motel

We chose to stay here again because of the cleanliness of the rooms. We were not disappointed. Since the last visit the unit we stayed in has been painted, and new bed quilts are stylish.
Lisa is a very friendly and welcoming host. She rang us before midday to tell us our room was ready as we requested an early check in. What great service!
The motel is so handy to everything in Scarness - walking distance to coffee, the pub, the friendly newsagent, restaurants and the beach.

My wife and I stayed here for a week, we had an up stairs room which had a separate bedroom ,with a very comfortable bed and a tv in the room. A good size lounge room
with a tv and a comfortable chair. It has a good size kitchen with a large fridge A really good shower and no, water savers a good flow of hot water. This place is very close to all the shops. Its opposite a large park and not far from the ocean. The owner Lisa could not do enough for us, Thank you Lisa. There is also a swimming pool at the back and heaps of parking. The rates are reasonable for the unit

We booked the Sunseeker because it was close to where our friends were staying and it was too dear to stay elsewhere during the school holidays. We were pleasantly surprised. The room had everything we needed, the resort had a decent pool and bbq area, ample parking and free Wifi. The best part was the location - arguably the best we've stayed in during our many trips to Hervey Bay. The beach and a playground is across the road, lots of restaurants and cafes are nearby and there is a mini-mart two doors down. We will definitely be looking to stay here again for our next trip to Hervey Bay.

Three night stay(business and pleasure) , warm welcome.
Older motel but extremely well kept and very clean room with plenty of space !. Comfortable bed.
Pool and BBQ area very clean and tidy.
Owners offered a towel change each day and could not have been more helpful. Private carparking at the door.
Located in the heart of Scarness Esplanade. Pub and variety of restaurants and cafes within easy walking distance. Scenic, safe walking track and boardwalk along the Esplanade in either direction.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely stay again sometime.

This motel has recently received new managers, who have done an excellent job of tidying it up. It was good before but now even better.
A bit old school but in very good condition.
The managers are very helpful and pleasant. It's in an excellent position with a great pub and several Asian restaurants, cafes and Enzos on the beach across the road. Everything is only a very short walk.
Perfect spot with reasonable prices.
