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.

Jocelyn J wrote a review Nov 2024

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay.
Due to the great and convenient location of the motor inn, when I made our booking the only availability left was the bedroom with kitchenette. The room, although a little dated, was absolutely spotlessly clean. There was everything you could possibility need : sheets and towels were spotless with no stains, lovely bathroom toiletries and a fully equipped kitchen with everything you would need if you were looking to stay for an extended holiday. To be honest, the only negative thing I can say is that the bedroom pillows were a little too soft for our liking.
My daughter and I felt totally safe and it was a very quiet location.
I had phoned and booked direct with Shane, so this included a free continental breakfast. The breakfast was fantastic and offered a great selection of cereals, breads for toast, juice and yoghurt. We had a lovely time enjoying our breakfast and sharing the good company of other staying guests.
Right from the start of the booking process to our arrival, communication was excellent.
I would highly recommend the Tweed Harbour Motor Inn and we will certainly be back.

Very clean rooms, really comfy beds, friendly staff and in a great location. Walking distance to a club across the road and also a licenced fish and chips shop for dining in and takeaways it is a 5 to 10 minute drive to the Twin Towns Club and shopping centres and it is also very close to Tweed Hospital. A continental breakfast was included each morning. Car parking is on-site and also the street and it is well lit at night.

The Coolangatta area was very busy on the weekend we booked and bookings were slim with exhorbitant rates due to 'Cooly Rock' and vintage car show and in our case the 10CC show at twin Towns. I stumbled onto the Tweed Harbour Motor Inn and due to positive reviews and very reasonable rates, decided to book two nights. We were pleasantly surprised from the check in to check out with friendly welcome and fairwell. The accommodation was clean and tidy with nice toiletry touches in the bathroom, tea/coffee making with biscuits, wine glasses, microwave and good sized fridge. The bed was comfortable and the TV had netflix and utube and because we booked direct, a substantial continental breakfast with real milk was included in a designated breakfast room that has a flat screen tv while you have brekky. The fruit toast was great. Outside carpark is included. There are very nice walks nearby over to the Tweed River and it is about a 14 minute walk to Twin Towns and about 15 to Coolangatta beach. There are shopping complexes nearby and the Tweed Bowls club opposite. The meals there are great with reasonable prices. We did a lazy drive down to Fingal and walked out to the lighthouse and then enjoyed lunch at the Cudgen Surf Club. When next at Coolangatta for a show, I know where we will be staying. Well done Jade.

We didn't sleep all night on 09/02/2025 because as soon as we laid on the bed we started to itch, and scratch it lasted all night there was something in the bed, bed bugs or bed mites ,scabies WE will never stay @ your motel ever again
I phoned the motel on Monday 10/02/2025 @ 2pm and spoke with the lady that owns the motel and she said the room has just had " deep clean" what does that mean
She couldn't have cared about the problem.

Accommodation was very difficult to find between Byron Bay and Brisbane. Months before our stay I contacted the Tweed Harbour Motor Inn and made a booking. The young lady behind the desk was very very helpful and accommodating. When we arrived, tired and a bit grumpy with a fair bit in front of us, she made us feel very welcome. The rooms were very clean and the bed in my room was superbly comfortable. More like a five-star bed than a motel bed. it is also just across the road from the delightful fish and chip restaurant where we had a quick, but very satisfying lunch. I can’t say the motel is in a picturesque location, but I can recommend it highly for cleanliness, comfort, hospitality, and a very reasonable tariff.

From arrival to departure our experience was fine. We stayed in a Superior Queen Room with Kitchenette and were so pleased to see a good sized fridge and a good range of cutlery and crockery. It was a large comfortable room with a sofa as well as the queen bed. I was concerned that there might be noise from the road (we had a room right beside the road) and / or planes (since the airport is nearby) but neither was an issue at all. Would definitely stay here if I need to be in Tweed Heads or nearby again.

Great overnight stop while attending a conference at Mantra. Was close to a shopping centre and the Twin Towns services club.
Room was clean, AC was effective during a really hot period.
The bed was comfortable with good pillows.
Even though the motel is on a main road, it was quiet at night.
Checking in after hours was seamless with good communication about key safe codes etc.
A bonus was the included continental breakfast in the little dining room.

The location was very central to Tweed Heads, only a few minutes walk to the Bowling Club, Ivory Tavern and Twin Towns, yet very quiet from road noise. The hosts were exceptionally friendly, possibly the friendliest reception I've ever had from a motor inn as they made us feel at home immediately. Additionally, they offered good recommendations for dinner, printed our border pass free of charge and offered suggestions on best places to cross the border with minimal hassle.

The room was very clean, shower reasonably sized with good water pressure and lasting hot water. The room was sizeable with a lounge coffee table and fridge. The bed was large and comfortable. Free bottled water, cheese and crackers were a lovely and homely touch. There was a free continental breakfast downstairs, which had a range of cereals, breads, condiments and yoghurts, as well as orange juice.

We were only planning to stay for one night, but enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to stay another night. Our room was completely serviced while we were at breakfast and the hosts were very accommodating, asking us if we needed anything more during our stay e.g. fresh towels, more cheese and crackers etc.

I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone traveling through the area, as the value for money and quality of service were top notch.

What a great little gem. We stayed only one night to catch up with friends and cannot praise the staff and facilities enough. Everything was spotless, the bed was very comfortable and we thought that the bathroom was one of the best we have seen in our extensive travels. Thank you Jade and Shane for the hospitality and for making our brief stay very enjoyable, we will certainly be back.

Bed moved when other person turned over probs poor quality.
Brekkie was very average, continental/cheap.
We stayed in other motels in amazing beachside areas, easy $70 cheaper & they inc delicious hot brekkie. No comparison.
Extremely crazy expensive for an old Motel on busy road.
