A lot of care and effort went into this little motel. Everything has a fresh modern, yet retro style. Small details in the room like an integrated Art/TV, usb outlets, dimming lights, unique art and dishware completed the super clean, cozy room. The share kitchen was amazing, sparkling water on tap! The little swing and outdoor sitting area was nice. There are so many good things to say. Can't wait to come back.

Out of the control of the motel, but the road out front is busy. However, the motel does such a great job at making the outdoor spaces comfy and well covered with foliage, it's hard to notice the road.

It was very retro and groovy with simple decor. It was also very clean.

I upgraded our room to one with a terrace and the plan showed a hammock. Well, it was just a small back alley with two chairs facing the fence. We didn't use it at all as it was more interesting sitting at the high bench at the window. I felt that was hardly an upgrade, wouldnt all those rooms have the same set-up?Why not reserve those two cars spots against the pool wall for Unit 1 and 2? That would make it feel more exclusive. I would stay here again but I wouldn't pay extra for something that didn't really exist. I talked it up to my husband too, as it was his birthday, so it was abit of a let down. I can see that it would be a fun place when the bar or coffee caravan is open.

Everything about this motel is excellent. Clean, fresh and new feel about the place. Reception and service staff were friendly and helpful. Great walk-in shower with easy temperature adjustment and neat wall-mounted shampoo-soap dispensers, small but adequate in-room kitchen with a large communal kitchen also available 24/7, firm comfortable bed, great wall tv, small garden terrace at back. No-key entry coded entry so you can't lose the key. They even have their own coffee caravan on the premises. They've really put some thought into this place. Highly recommended. 10/10

I'm digging deep to find anything, and this is only a suggestion: I'd like to have a grab handle in the shower as my balance is not what it used to be.

This is the cutest place I’ve stayed in in Australia – and I live here! The property has been lovingly refurbished with a cute retro vibe. Lots of handpainted touches and very tasteful and cute little bits of attention to detail. It was immaculately clean and it was the most comfortable bed I slept on for this trip up and down the East Coast the hostess even gave me a free bottle of wine because the power happened to be out around the Vicinity and we didn’t get back until the evening. (It didn’t bother me at all because these things happen) they had string lights in the evening and it looked like there were bikes available to hire and surfboards available to hire as well. I just wish I had been staying longer. In fact it made me want to come back to Kingscliff just to stay here.

I honestly can’t think of anything I didn’t like

Great spot to stay near the airport if you prefer to stay in a small coastal town. The design of the rooms and the whole property was charming and fresh. Rooms were reasonably sized, clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in Room 2 and all the parking outside our room was taken in the evening (7pm) even though not all of the rooms were occupied in that section. The carpark available (out towards the back) was very tight and I ended up parking on the road outside the property. The photos of the private terrace were misleading and backed on to a small, enclosed cement area. Not very inviting. I liked the positioning of the room near the pool and facing the road/park wouldn't choose but I wouldn't choose a terrace room again as all the rooms have a front patio which is a nicer setting.

Cute fit out, very quiet and relaxing, great location - although you would need a car to get to the shops, clean rooms, loved the coffee cart. We also used the bikes and boogie boards, which the kids loved. Kingcliff is lovely if you want to get away from the hustle & bustle.

The sheets smelt damp/musty, I thought it might have been the humid weather, but then we had our bedding changed and it was a lot better. Also too much water run off in the shower.

This is the cutest little retro motel I’ve ever seen, adorable! Located on a corner, short walk to the beach, 30 min walk to the shops & restaurants (the motel has bikes you can borrow). The motel is small and has a lovely retro beach style vibe. Excellent Reception/shop with quality products for sale. Excellent communal kitchen available for use. Rooms are decorated in beach retro style, quirky & cute. Comfy QS bed, small desk & chairs, window breakfast bar & 2 chairs. Small fridge & quality tea/coffee supplies, including Byron Bay teabags & Robert Timms coffee bags. De Longhi toaster & kettle. Quality Goetz & Malin New York toiletries, excellent hairdryer. Cool flat TV on wall, doubles as electronic wall art. Lovely!

No shower door - my husband’s pet hate!!

The Blue Water Hotel is in a beautiful location just tucked in behind the beach and only a short lovely walk to the water. The hotel is vintage however has had an immaculate makeover with a beautiful beachy style.

There is a shared kitchen at the Hotel; however, there was no access to a washer/dryer. However, there is a laundromat in town. I definitely recommend downloading the GoKi app to unlock the door with your phone (also make sure you share your door code with who you're staying with just in case your phone goes flat).

Very cool place to stay, the renovation is gorgeous. Very insta worthy and loved all the 5 star little bits and bobs like fancy soap/ shampoo/ tea bags etc. It was super nice, would 100% stay again and can't wait to visit again.

These are both very minor things but floors are a little cold as they are polished concrete and wish we had some extra blankets as it was quite cold in winter. Take socks/ slippers and ask reception for an extra blanket. We only stayed 1 night so I didn't get the opportunity, I have no doubt they would have been accommodating.

I love the interior design and the graphic design of the facility. Having the fold out window created a peaceful and private mini oasis. We loved the lighter choices of colours, this added to the relaxing and peaceful vibe. Loved the keyless idea, I downloaded the Goki app - so easy to use (I do recommend). Bed was very comfortable and all round great experience. Will be coming back for sure!
