Detailed Reviews
We were only there for one night as a quick break away.
The young lady at reception was friendly and checked us in quickly.
Our room was only a little away from the street but noise was minimal. The room was very clean and equipped with the standard fridge, microwave, kettle and toaster. There was also crockery and cutlery which you don't often get in some motels.
More importantly the bed was comfortable and we both slept well.
The motel is very well located with only a short walk to the water front and restaurants.
We would certainly stay here again.

We had a great couple of nights here. The motel is in a great location with eateries nearby for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Coles is also within easy walking distance.
Rooms are very well appointed with everything you need. On-site parking is helpful, and being ground floor units, there is no heavy lifting required.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.
We will definitely stay here again.

Family room was beautifully renovated, kitchenette was a great touch as was the cold bottled water in the fridge on arrival. Amazing quality for price, would stay again. Good location a few streets back from the esplanade and an easy flat stroll from the beach.

Room had a damp musky smell. The floor was damp and wet, I’m am going to say from the shower as when we had a shower we had to be extremely careful because it went to floor out into the room. The shower flooring is higher than room and slops down into the room so the water runs that way. If you have the aircon on then take extra blankets as the two you get which yes is normal I know, but the two you get are extremely thin and not very warm. Over all for the money I paid it is way over priced. The smell of the room alone was really bad. Room is very tiny, not worth the money I paid.

The Sail Inn is a budget motel with simple besser block walls, but it gets 5 stars for our recent 2 night stay. The room was clean and fresh smelling and had everything we needed for our stay including a comfy king size bed, fridge, microwave, plates and cutlery, huge tv and a super quiet air conditioner. It is in a great location, about a 5 min stroll to the beach and close to numerous places to shop, eat and drink, but also quiet at night with no road noise. The bathroom had also been recently upgraded to a very high standard. Excellent value for money and we would certainly stay here again.

We were looking for somewhere to stay overnight between Airlie Beach and Agnes Waters and this fitted the bill.
This property is on one of the main streets in the centre of Yeppoon and is close to everything but still quiet.
The room was clean and functional with a comfy bed but the advertised kitchenette doesn't work and is a wasted opportunity. What we got was a small cabinet in one corner of the room with kettle, toaster, crockery and cutlery and around the corner in another part of the room was a bar fridge with microwave perched on top. There is plenty of room to put a bench unit and have everything in one place so you can actually do some form of self catering. And I've never been a fan of having to wash up cutlery and crockery in the bathroom. It never feels very hygenic.
The bathroom has had a refurbishment but there was a constant drain smell that we discussed with the management which they are trying to fix.
If we stay in Yeppoon longer we will look for somewhere with a functional kitchenette.

Sail inn, a small yet cosy and clean motel in James Street at Yeppoon is just a great place to bed down at the end of the day. We were greeted by a very friendly gentleman and warmly welcomed. Our family room was plenty big enough for three adults, the beds and pillows were very comfortable and the decor was simple and modern. Our room was quiet with minimal outside noises heard. Walking distance to everything you could possibly desire for a short or long stay. Highly recommended - you won’t be disappointed

I had a one night stay at Sail Inn on a recent road trip and it was fantastic! It is a small motel, but the room was so well equipped with a huge TV and recently renovated bathroom. They were very generous with toiletries. The air con was super quiet, but worked so well on a hot day. There is an allocated car parking space under an awning right at the door of each room. It’s a very short and pleasant walk to the beach front and amazing Yeppoon Lagoon. The start of Yeppoon parkrun is a very short walk down the street too. Megan in reception could not have been nicer if she tried! She gave me suggestions on what to do and see in town and I felt very welcome. I’d definitely stay again.

Stayed in room 1 for 3 nights, it is on the main road. Didn't notice any extra noise. Room was good size and clean.
Best thing has got to be its location , restaurants, cafes, grocery shops and pubs are all in a 15min walk.
Would certainly return again.

Lovely little motel in great location. Rooms very comfortable and clean. Great service from staff. Easy parking and after hours arrangements. Great being able to walk to food and beach easily. Little bit of noise from live music at a venue down the street but to be expected with central location and staff provided ear plugs if needed. Would definitely stay again.

According to Google Maps it takes 7 minutes (500m) to walk from the motel to the surf club located on Yeppoon's Main Beach. It is an easy walk with no hills, you simple turn left at the Sail Inn and walk straight to the beach. The Yeppoon Main Beach is the only patrolled beach in town.
