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.

John M wrote a review Feb 2020
Tweed Heads, Australia

We selected the Bay Air Motel because of its location. We stayed two nights with a nearby function in between. It could not have been better. Kerry at reception was just wonderful and engaging with us. We had clean sheets, hot water, a fridge and wine glasses. The RSL is next door for dinner and a local coffee shop is ready to do breakfast the way we like it. The motel does not have a dining facility but interested people should have worked that prior to booking. We did. The cost of the room is competitive with others in the area but I may challenge others to provide full dining facilities right next door! Beat that! This was a great deal and we left completely relaxed. I congratulate Kerry doing well in a tough industry.

The Bay Air Motel has always been my go to accomodation in the Redlands. I stayed at the premises for the first time 20 years ago.

The new owners Kerry and Bronwyn have refurbished and redecorated throughout.

The rooms are modern and clean, and make it easy to relax. The owners are very welcoming and ensure that each and every element is taken care of for guests.

An excellent choice for all types of travellers for any occasion. Located only 20 meters from the RSL for easy and decent meals and entertainment.

Don’t overlook this wonderful experience.

The staff were very accomodating and stayed open late for us to check in after a night flight. The room was clean and fresh with enough powerpoints, places to hang clothes, linen, tea-making facilities and general amenities. Daily servicing was available. Quick walk (2 mins) to the Redland Bay RSL, and if you present your room key you get members prices. All in all a great stay. There is a laundry room downstairs with an iron and a microwave as well as washer and dryer.

Bay Air Motel is excellent value for money. We were impressed to find that our room had two separate rooms and included everything we required for a comfortable stay within a budget-friendly motel. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful and I would have no hesitation in staying here again next time we visit our friends who live in the area.

Our room was very clean and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The bathroom was great, with enough hot water for two showers and a detachable shower head which always makes life easier! My only complaint was the lack of toaster, plates and knives which meant basic breakfast was not possible in room. All staff very friendly and professional. We would definitely recommend Bay Air Motel.

My family and I booked 3 rooms at Bay Air on 9th April for a friends birthday nearby. I called to book over the phone and the gentleman I spoke to was absolutely lovely. They allowed us to check in early before we attended the birthday party and made us feel very welcome. The room was very clean and the premises well looked after. We checked out early the next morning and once again were greeted by the most delightful staff I have ever encountered. We don’t have much reason to be back in the area but if we ever need to go back we will be staying at Bay Air again for sure!

We arrived Thursday evening and Kerry was just lovely!! Helpful, lovely conversation, and very welcoming!

The room was perfect for our needs for 2 days.
It was clean, tidy, the room didn't smell musty.

The amenities were good. The kids enjoyed their swims each night. The laundry was easily accessible and the appliances worked perfectly.

The location was close to the sports grounds we were attending each day and close to any shops we needed to visit.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend Bay Air to anyone (although if you aren't a fan of stairs, book ahead for a ground floor room 👍🏾)

I stay here a couple of times per year on my visits to Brisbane. This motel is always accommodating, Kerry and Bronwyn are always friendly and the rooms are exceptionally clean. There are microwaves available in a common area for heating food, which is nice when you are not wanting to eat out. Highly recommend this motel

This motel is well situated near the water of Moreton Bay and a very short walk to the Cleveland RSL which was a very modern venue and has really good dining areas. Parking is onsite and the staff were excellent. Our room was spacious and clean, the bathroom recently renovated, and the sleep comfortable. Breakfast was not offered but with the adjacent club and shops access to meals was not an issue. The pool area looked very attractive. The WIFI worked well. A very nice place to stay.

We have stayed here before & again were not surprised with our enjoyable stay.
The room was well appointed, clean & tidy, with very comfortable bed, small dining table with tub chairs & all the amenities required.
The shower had great water pressure & easily variable temperature control.
Thank you to our lovely hosts - we will definitely come & stay again.
