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.

Sunset on water was stunning. Perfect place to spend a night while on holiday. It was comfortable, tidy, and water view which I love. Had a studio and it was sufficient- a Queen and extra single in room . Kitchenette was good and wifi worked excellent. Air con and ceiling fan were nice. Marg was super helpful giving me bottled waters, milk, extra hand towel, and info about Bribie book when checking in. It was quiet but is on road. Traffic noise on the esplanade but didn’t t bother me. I slept well and only other noise was sometimes heard people moving about in room upstairs and going up steps. I’d pick this place to stay again . Price was better for a better place than my first night here.
What was missing for me was a face washer.
Maybe Dishcloth in kitchen looked used already and one mug was not clean when I grabbed it from cupboard. Some extra water glasses would be good - there was only 1- studio room sleeps up to 3 . Wine glasses would be good for some. Overall this is a fabulous stay.

Not so impressed. Rooms were clean. We tried to wash up the plates in the kitchenette like the sign read using the dishwashing liquid provided, but no dishwashing liquid. Bathroom linen consisted of three towels and a bathmat, where was the hand towel and face washers????? Off to bed we go and what, just a sheet and no bed covering???? No bedspread??? Went to get blankets for the queen and the single bed, oh no just one queen blanket and no single blanket. A small bottle of shampoo and conditioner was provided as well as a small soap. Coffee cups were not matching. Very limited reception hours and a call out fee of over $40 if you lost the key etc. Did i expect these oversights in a motel room that cost us over $180 for the night, that i will leave for readers to decide.

Great Value, Rooms are Clean. Beds are comfy if you stay in the rooms on the left hand side unless the other beds have been upgraded. Rooms and Bathrooms are Clean. Food is good and affordable at the Bistro. The Pizzas made at the Bistro in their ovens and they are delicious.

I booked and paid for a 'Renovated Superior Queen Room'. The only true word being Renovated. It was clean and neat but certainly not superior or a Queen Room.
We also booked because an in house restaurant was advertised, only to find out it had been closed for months. They need to remove this detail from their heading 'Great Reasons To Stay With US' A queen size bed in a very small room does not match their Room Type description.

Although we absolutely disagree with your review we do thank you for bringing to our attention that one small bit of info about restaurant was on website. The restaurant is still there and we hope it will reopen again one day but unfortunately COVID-19 took care of that and the owners lost their business but that does not seem to matter to yourself but at least one positive can from your stay for us in that you have helped us remove that reference so thanks. Also if you had of booked the room that was $12 more a night called superior studio you would have for a bigger room a large kitchenette and also a single bed as well but obviously you chose the other. Did we mention free parking, a queen bed in every room and not double like most and also daily servicing of rooms at no extra cost.

The studio with a canal view was ideal. The beds were comfortable, the outlook was pleasant and the little kitchenette with a bar fridge and microwave was very handy. The hairdryer was good (not like the usual why-bothers motels use). Parking was plentiful. Shops were an easy walk along the waterfront.
One tip: if there's even a remote chance you might arrive after 5pm make arrangements for after hours check in prior to traveling to avoid distress if you get caught in traffic from Brisbane airport.

Looking for a room on Bribie Island and checked in here. It had nice views of the river and grassed area to relax. The rooms were clean and very comfortable , toaster and bowls if needed. Staff member on reception very friendly and helpful. If you are a Golden Chain member it’s 10% discount.

We have stayed several times and always find the staff friendly and helpful. The key was left out for us so we could get in early which we appreciated. The room was clean and comfortable and right on the canal. Even though a lot of Bribie was still shut down due to COVID, we still found lots to do and eat. can recommend Sue's Bar and Grill just down the road. Looking forward to our next visit.

We had a beautiful 2 night stay at Bribie waterways motel. Perfect location right across the road from the water. Lovely view sitting on the balcony watching the sunset. Shops and restaurants close by. Very clean and comfortable rooms. Plenty of parking for a big car. Peaceful and quiet at night time. Will most definitely stay there again next time we visit.
