A great place by the highway close to Nambour, Woombye and Palmwoods

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 24 July 2023
The motel is situated on the old Bruce Highway near Nambour, which is now called the Nabour connection road.
For those who like traffic noise at night (which I genuinely do) it was God send for getting to sleep. However, being so close to a dual carriageway may be a put off.
The room was comfortable and secure. The pool was present and clean but we had no opportunity to use it. The parking was also quite easy, the highway did not make this difficult.

Date of stay: June 2023
Room Tip: Getting to the motel travelling southbound out of Nambour will require a round trip via Woombye.
Trip type: Travelled with family

    Found this motel in research but no recent reviews. Stayed two nights and experience was fine. Conveniently located not far off the Bruce Highway but far enough for passing traffic to not be a bother. Easy to find. Large room, very clean. Had all necessary appointments. Does not do breakfast or other meals but close to the Woombye shopping centre that has all required; including a first rate Spar supermarket; bakery, newsagent, pub, independent pizza place, etc. The outlook through the large sliding glass doors at the rear of the unit was pleasant and includes a pool. The only two "downers" was it has no exhaust fan in the bathroom (so mirrors fogs when using shower; but opened the window slightly and that eased the problem); and there was no safety chain on the front door although there evidently had been one. In summary, no problem to offer a recommendation.

    Exceptional service.
    Travelling with a pet is challenging - a first time for us.
    This motel warmly welcomed pets and our room was clean, fresh and lovely.
    The pool area is lush and inviting and includes a bbq area for that cook up while you’re enjoying your holiday.
    We enjoyed our stay here and wish the new managers the very best. They are just gorgeous and have a

    My dog and I had to travel to the Sunshine Coast for an appointment with specialist vet surgeon. The motel was the most pet friendly of all the ones where we stayed. A pet bed was provided as well as bowls for food and water. There was also an area set aside for pets to do their business and access to walks around the area. Nearby Woombye had many amenities and the pub allowed pets to be present on part of the balcony. Check in time is 2.00 pm.

    i can only give my honest opinion of our stay...the young couple running the motor lodge are great, friendly and very welcoming, now the bad..unfortunately we had picked a night {friday} when groups of drunks had booked in, big group moved from BBQ area to rooms, while standing outside our room smoking banging things and general bad behaviour, by midnight my wife wanted to leave, we stayed, 1.30 am and finally it stopped, 6 am outside our room again same behaviour...not an enjoyable stay at all..talked to manager next morning but damage had been done, sorry but we wont be back, if booking ask first about big drunken groups booking in then decided if your really want to stay as we certainally would not have..plus side rooms are spotless...

    The Room was spacious, extremely clean, and opens onto an outdoor grassed entertainment area (we had the Pool handy to our room but there is a spotlessly clean Barbeque Gazebo handy to the rooms as well). We brought our 2 Dogs and we were all very comfortable.

    The Woombye District is a prefect location to visit Maleny (the Clouds Winery and Market at the RSL hall on the Sunday) , Monteville (there was an Arts and Crafts Markets there on the week-end) , Palmwoods (dog offleash park there is terrific) with an iconic Pub called Rick's Garage and a fantastic little bakery called the Sausage Roll Factory, plus a couple of great little Coffee Shops/Cafes in Woombye itself.

    We found the Sunshine Coast Motor Lodge the prefect place to stay with our family pet and explore the Sunshine Coast Hinterland for few days and will be definitely going back there again just for a break (we live 100klms away so it is just so handy for a gettaway!).

    We know there is so much more for us to see in the Hinterland and this is the prefect place for us to stay when we do some more exploration of this part of South East Qld.

    A big thanks to the couple Couple who are the owners of the Sunshine Coast Travel Lodge for their Customer Service and lodging!

    Room tip: For Pet Friendly Rooms you will have the rooms reserved near the Pool where there is more freedom for them to stretch
