We really enjoyed our visit to Carwell and were delighted with the Motel which is literally on the beach front with a lovely walk in front of the property. Ask for rooms closer to the beach than the road which is busy. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a little table and chairs on the verandah outside where you could sit and take in the sunset and sea breezes. We thought the trees along the foreshore were magnificent and worth exploring with all the lovely birds. The ocean and the beach with a backdrop on the mountains was beautiful, though not one you swim in.The room was good value we thought and very pleasant.

The room was a lovely, relaxing place to lay my head down in Cardwell. The view from the room overlooks the beach and Hinchinbrook Island, also providing a beautiful ocean soundtrack while sleeping. The pool is a lovely way to refresh after a hot day in the tropics!

Perhaps there could be a little more lighting on the verandah as the rooms can be hard to find at nighttime.

The room was simple but functional and clean. It is so close to the beach that it is practically on the beach. I had the room with the best view. It was possible to see the sea from bed.

Wifi is a non starter. There is wifi but it is not possible to connect for longer than 5 seconds. I used data, it was easier, but very slow due to mobile network. Air conditioner has some issues. According to the owner the pipes freeze often, therefore the AC should be used sparingly.

Location was superb, right on the water. Our room was very spacious, and the beds being separated by a wardrobe/divider added privacy. The room included a kitchenette, a table and stools and a couch, so it was very comfortable. Great bathroom and a table and chairs were provided outside on the verandah. The owners Chris and Kelly are so friendly and helpful.

There was nothing to dislike and my friend and I wished we were staying longer.

Just loved everything about this jewel of a place ; from the warmth of the welcome with a personal introduction to my room, to the sea gently lapping the shore line but a few steps away! Good restaurant for supper a few minutes walk away in one directiion and plenty of options for breakfast in the opposite direction come morning - along an easy path that stretches for about 4 km for those in need of a sea stroll. Can't recommend this lovely little place highy enough and just wish that I had had more time to sit and do nothing but look at and listen tonthe sea.

There was nothing not to like - everything was excellent, thank you.

The location can't be beaten. Right on the beachfront, easy walking distance to restaurants, takeaways, bottle shops. It's an older style motel, with a verandah outside the rooms. Tables and chairs are placed outside each room. The room itself was a generous size, good sized bathroom and shower, and small dining table and chairs available for self catering. We chose to get fish and chips from a fabulous place nearby, and sat at a common area at the front of the complex overlooking the beach. Very pleasant. The owners could not have been more helpful.

We really enjoyed the stay at Cardwell Beachfront Motel. The rooms are tidy, have a nice style and beds are comfortable. The airconditioner was very quiet. Big plus!

The host was a bit stressful in the morning with the checkout (knocked at the door at half past 10) even though the motel had many vacant rooms. We had other motels which didnt bother till 12 am.

While simple, the room was quite comfortable and the location was great being only a 30 second walk to the beach.

Not too much can be improved on. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The fact that there wasn't an obvious wifi connection didn't bother us much as it is a beach holiday motel, we also didn't ask ;).

Clean tidy and quiet Right on the ocean and walking distance most everywhere (to visitor center and restaurants, grocery) Owner friendly and social. Felt right at home.

This is very pleasant place to stay. It is close to the beach with excellent views of the ocean and a backdrop of islands and mountains. It provides a great opportunity for photographers to get shots of beautiful sunrise. It is within walking distance of several eateries - cafes, the local pub plus decent restaurants. The hosts were very welcoming and sociable providing a deck for evening drinks.

The only negative the shower was a bit slippery for older guests. But the owners Michelle and Lee were receptive to our comments about this and indicated they plan to provide anti-slip matting in future. The rooms were smaller than expected but quite cosy once we got settled in
