A pleasant surprise. Good value for money and very, very clean (including door mat - see photos). Good size room. Newly renovated bathroom. New split system A/C. Great central location. Staff were lovely, live on site. Catered for late check-in.

Short but steep driveway, however a positive was it had a separate back exit to Auckland St, meaning didn't have to turnaround or go out uphill to get out. Swimming pool location tucked in virtually abutting end room in which we were staying - but if you have kids it's actually a bonus. Something that made it hard to locate was my Google Earth directions were trying to take me to Oaka Lane, a side lane with no view of the motel sign from the direction we came in from, instead of the actual Roseberry St entrance & being after dark didn't help (motel is on the corner of these 2 streets).

2nd night here. Was there Easter Weekend. Manager was ever so Friendly. Speaks to you as if you were Friends not like a Manager. 1st Night, was on the Top Floor. 1 Bedroom. Beautiful View of the Harbour. 2nd Night, was on Bottom Floor. 2 Bedroom. Rooms are very clean. Micro, Roomy. Always Water in Fridge + a few Chocy Bars, Comfortable Beds.TV, large walk-in Shower. Great Location. 1st Night there, I was there to check out the Harbour Festival. Only had to walk down the Road & over the Bridge. 2nd Night, I was in Gladstone to see some Movies. There were closer some forms of Accommodation but if I like something, I will keep on going back there not worrying about Distance. Wasn't that far away anyway. Enjoyed the Stays. Would recommend the Harbour Lodge Motel.

It had good security . It was a short, but steep, walk, to the local pub who served meals and takeaways. It was reasonably easy to get to most places from here. it's not in a shopping part of town but plenty of short trips in the car to most things soon fixes this.

The outside lights stayed on all night and the main window only had venetian slats which allowed slithers of light thru the openings. The whole room at night was quite bright which resulted in my not sleeping very well. The window definitely needs a heavy curtain as the outside lights are very bright. Good lighting for security but not soo many needed to accomplish this. The room was good otherwise and clean with the usual amenities. A few more plates would have been handy. definitely a good price for its location.

Great location in the middle of town. Easy access and parking. Very clean and comfortable. Frankly, well above expectations for the nightly rate. Great onsite manager who moves very quickly to shut down any late night noise which was much appreciated.

Security lights stay on overnight, and the venetian blinds don't keep much light out. If you are light-sensitive, bring an eye mask. Didn't seem to phase the kids though...

I loved this motel. It was in a very convenient location and I loved that the room was on the ground floor. The staff were very obliging, letting me check-in early and I was welcome to check out late if needed. The room was spacious and the bathroom was well appointed as well.

Friendly manager. Old building but well maintained and clean, well equipped rooms. Really great shower. Room was bigger than expected. Fast wifi. Extremely reasonable for what we paid. Would definitely use again.

Nothing. Central position in town. Gladstone is, as is. This was a great overnight stop for us. Old building, nothing flashy. Don't book if you want the Ritz. Otherwise it's a great, reasonable place to stay.

We did not book this place to live somewhere fancy. Still, we were very surprised by the easy check-in, good beds, nice shower, and other basic amenities. There is a fantastic value for money at the Harbour Lodge Motel. Trevor was accommodating as well.

Location was great, so close to everything, room spacious enough for the 4 of us. Great pillows! Owner was friendly and helpful

UHT milk but can understand why they use it. Was easy enough to get some milk ourselves though

Very well managed and looked after motel. Beds were comfortable, had all we needed and air con a welcome relief from muggy weather. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

Nothing.

This is a great motel in a very good location. A 10-minute walk will get you to pub bistros, bottle shops and the Gladstone Yacht Club which serves great meals in a terrific location. Reception advised us of this and made some recommendations. Very helpful. As this was my first trip away with a new Tesla 3, I also needed to charge it. And outside our room were 2 Tesla chargers (I believe they will fit other EVs as well). So while I slept off a great meal and a couple of cold beers after a day of travel, the car was topped up to around 500km of charge by the morning ready for that day's travelling. The chargers are FREE to use. Perhaps notify the motel in advance if you intend to charge so they can allocate your room with the parking bay near the charger.

Nothing to dislike about this property. It ticks all the boxes at the right price.
