Detailed Reviews


Great location close to shops such as Aldi, Dan Murphy, chemist and Woolworths, near a bus stop and easy walk to the beach. Lovely, obliging staff who are happy to carry a suitcase upstairs. Clean, modern room, complete with crockery and microwave and beautiful bathroom. Laundry is accessible only at certain times for a small cost.

I had booked online but with the wrong dates, so unfortunately they were also fully booked when I arrived.
Despite being just on close of reception, they could not have been nicer or more helpful, and contacted another motel across town who confirmed they could provide me a room for the night. There camaraderie and liaison is a great advertisement for the local business community.
I would certainly not hesitate to seek to book at either motel again in future. Thank you.

Our motorbike group was recently accommodated by Golden Beach Motor Inn when a few of our members were staying at the nearby Sunshine Coast Hospital. We were welcomed and instantly felt reassured by the very friendly hostess Desleigh who explained details of the accommodations and the Caloundra area and she went above and beyond to ensure our continued comfort. Our rooms were immaculate and the Motor Inn is a short walk to restaurants, pub, Woolworth and bottle shop.
We highly recommend this Motor Inn and we look forward to staying there in the very near future.

I stayed at the Golden Beach motor inn with my elderly father while visiting the area. I was met at reception by the very friendly hostess Desleigh who explained details of the accommodations and the area and was very helpful.
Our room was spotlessly clean. It was upstairs and had a double bed and a single bed. There was a fridge, tea and coffee provisions and a tv. The bathroom was modern and equipped with soap and shampoo. The room was air conditioned.
There is a swimming pool and undercover parking. Then motel was fully booked the night we stayed, but it was quiet and we slept really well. Its a short walk to downtown Caloundra, where there are lots of restaurants. There is an Aldi and a pub a very short distance away, and a Woolworths and bottle shop slightly further (but still walking distance).
This is a basic motel, not a 5 star resort, but if you set you expectations accordingly we found it a great place to stay. I recommend it and really enjoyed staying there.

We stayed at the Golden Beach Motor Inn while travelling to attend a concert. The hosts were absolutely fantastic and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The rooms were basic rooms with all required amenities and extremely clean. The bathroom was freshly renovated, very spacious and nice. We loved our stay and won't hesitate to book again when we are back down that way.

Sitting on the beach mid-arvo and thought to do something about accommodation for the night.
Quick search in the area revealed this domicile only a short drive away, so 4 minutes later and here we are.
Only a 2 minute drive from the Esplanade to meet up with family later, or a 10 minute walk to town...and 2 minutes walk to the main drag and supermarket, pub etc where we have a convivial refreshment anon.
Myself and the other half were travelling with a friend so the double plus single bed arrangement worked well, and although small was clean with a good shower, comfortable bed, covered parking and quiet enough for a residential location.
Lady on the front desk was quite pleasant too - actually a bit better than average.
