The Sails Motel Brunswick Heads

Location is perfect for travel between Sydney and the Sunshine Coast. The room is comfortable with a lounge and table as well as a desk surface. The bed is big and comfortable. We appreciate the new bins to encourage separation of waste and recycling. We are regular visitors and will be back on our next trip.

There are maintenance problems in the bathroom. The towel rail was missing and the basin tap needs repair or replacing. The frame of the shower screen door needs a rivet to keep it in place. It would be good to have a form in the room to inform the owners of repairs needed, as there were maintenance problems in a different room on our previous stay. The new refrigerator is too small. All our freezer bricks would not fit and some of our food. The previous taller model, with bigger freezer space, was much better for our needs and this is has always been one of the significant aspects of choosing to stay in this motel.

Tastefully renovated motel. Beds were comfortable. It is nextdoor to "old maids" and a pizza place which was so handy and you could order online to beat the holiday crowd. Also super close to all the other places to eat and the beach. The pool was nice too. Super handy for festivals at byron festival grounds as they ran shuttle buses. Would come back to chill here again.

Pillows were a bit high. If your neighbours are loud outside the room you can hear everything, take earplugs. If you are on the second floor you will have to get luggage up and down.

Love the vibe in this refurbished 60s motel! Clean, comfy and quiet, with a hot shower and plenty of room for bags etc. Beds are very comfortable too. It's a short walk to the river and beach, and good coffee and pizza is right next door. Great for a short stay.

Minimal ventilation in the bathroom so it got very steamy and damp, and limited space to eat in the room comfortably - nothing that's a deal-breaker though.

Amazing location, both for local town and activities but also a great stop just before Byron if you're on a road trip between locations. 15 min from the heart of Byron but the prices and astronomically less than something comparable in Byron. Walking distance to incredible restaurants, cafes and the beach. Very friendly and helpful staff. Exterior is just as pictured! Love the update to a motel that makes it truly feel like boutique accomodation. Bar by the pool.

Rooms could do with a little refresh to match the amazing exterior, facilities and lobby - but are very clean, bed was extremely comfy and had everything you need for your stay, it's just the small cosmetic stuff that could bring it up to what you see outside. Pool umbrella's may also need a little freshen, with some stains here and there. Would be amazing if pool was heated, could use all year round and would have made much more use of it during my stay.

Location was fantastic. Great eating destinations right outside your door, otherwise a short 5 minutes stroll in to town. For a very reasonable price the apartment exceeded expectations. A daily service was offered, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The hotel was very trendy and even though we didnt swim due to the weather, we still laid by the pool and appreciated the pool club atmosphere.

The internet cut out a few times when trying to watch a movie on my own device, I had to switch to hotspot. The shower pressure in room 8 could have been slightly better.

Clean room. Very comfortable bed. Easy walk to shops & restaurants.

Not happy that when we arrived there was no parking space available for our vehicle. There is a pizza restaurant within the complex & their patrons use the motel guests car park. We had to quickly unload our bags & carry them up the very high set of stairs to our room then park our car in the street. We had to wait until the restaurant closed before we could move our car off the street.

The location of the hotel was good, very friendly and helpful staff. Good room facilities, very clean and tidy. Would definitely stay again and good value for money. Lovely hot showers.

Had the occasional power drop out when we used a certain switch in the room, but it didn’t ruin our 3 night stay. Very hard to actually find anything about the property we didn’t like.

Such a trendy motel! It's in the heart of town so you can walk everywhere, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the beds were really comfortable, the rooms were kitted out with cute appliances and the pool area was gorgeous. I loved the retro feel throughtout; it was a lot of fun staying here! The drinks at the pool bar had been thoughtfully chosen to provide interesting and local options. I ate at the pizzeria that's attached to the motel and the food and wine were so delicious, again the staff were very friendly and they were able to veganise a lot of the pizzas, so I was spoilt for choice! Brunswick Heads is a fantastic town, but even if it wasn't I'd still return to stay at this motel!

Nothing

Perfect location to where I needed to go for the two days. Staff were very welcoming and willing to help. Comfortable rooms with great facilities.

Bedroom fan was very dusty and hadn't looked like it had been cleaned in some time. Dust was thick. Suggest the cleaners be made aware of this. Hallway lights on till 11pm shining in through bedroom made it hard to get to sleep initially.

Location and exterior of hotel was uber cool. Great touches everywhere. Inside the rooms, it's basically the same old hotel/motel, but the bedding and furnishings were updated. The pizza place in front was great, the pool looked lovely.

It was a lot of money for the small room, but I could appreciate that there's not a lot of accommodation in the town, so they could probably have charged even more. Great effort on the reno. I am sure they will eventually do up the bathrooms and counter tops as well.
