Any oldie but a goodie
This is an older style motel with basic facilities. It was clean and had a microwave though no plates or dishes for use in it. There was also no hairdryer. The room was small but clean and the airconditioner worked well.

Dear Henrik, we are terribly sorry for your experience and thank you for your feedback. Because of the constant rain, we do see more bugs than usual. But the bugs will die due to the pest control treatment. Guests' comfort and safety are always our priority. Hope you enjoy your holiday and we look forward to seeing you again :) Regards, Nambour Lodge Motel

We stayed at the lodge for 3 nights over Christmas to be close to the family. The room was basic and as expected for a standard motel. The bed was comfortable and air conditioning was good which was much needed during our summer stay. Motel was on the Main Street and dining options were within walking distance. Prices were inflated during our stay due to it being Christmas time, would expect to pay less outside of peak time.

Overpriced for standard of accommodation. Bathroom exhaust fans dont work. No cutlery or plates. 2 cups 2 teaspoons only. Holes in carpet. Bathroom door bottom damaged. First unit window locks broken. I wss moved. Ipon request but Staff argumentative and defensive. Advertised breakfast but no information in the room about this. $154 for one night expensive. Its an $80 room at most.

Dear Margaret-Ann, thank you for your review. Cutlery and plates can be provided upon request. We have security screen over the window and there's no way for anybody to open the window from outside. You insisted someone could take the security screen off and get into your room. The reason we were explaining that to you was because you stayed in the room and used the room before raising your concern. We still respected your concern and changed the room for you. Hope you had a good sleep and enjoyed your stayed. Thank you for staying with us!

Fast, easy check in. Room was clean and comfortable with fridge, kettle, microwave. Wardrobe, spare blanket and pillows. Good sized room, comfortable bed. Hot shower, good water pressure. Each room has seats outside for personal use. Reception happily let me borrow cutlery and crockery to use during my stay when I asked, no hesitation. Easy 10 min walk from train station. Easy walking distance to supermarkets, shops and eateries. I met three different members of staff all were friendly, polite and very helpful. Happily stored my luggage for me on my last day. Would stay again.

Lovely staff - unfortunately residents in the next rooms were outside drinking and talking until well after 10pm and then got up very early still talking loudly and banging their truck doors. Otherwise a good place to sleep for an overnight when travelling.

Thank you, Margret and sorry about the noisy neighbours. As I explained to you upon checking out, the workers were normally very good. Not too sure why they got noisy that night. We attended at the end and got them back to their own rooms. Apologies for the disturbance they've caused. We encourage guests to contact us if such things happen so we can attend to resolve straight away. We appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing you again. :) Kind regards, Nambour Lodge

I think it's a motel for transitioning the homeless, way overpriced and it was my first time in Australia and the owner felt he needed to tell me how much he dislikes Americans..but he had no problem taking my USD. His wife was extremely nice...I wouldn't stay again or refer.
Response from Sonya on 4 Feb 2023
Dear Elizabeth, we are sorry that you were not satisfied with your experience. I believe there's misunderstanding regarding "dislike" Americans. We meet guests from all over the world and we welcome everyone no matter where they come from. I do apologise if he ever made you upset in any case. But he's a very nice person who has a very soft heart. He just likes to talk to people... I'm glad that his wife was nice. Regarding "homeless", when people make bookings either over the phone or book online, we won't ask the guests if they are homeless or not, or where they come from. We treat every guest the same. They made the booking; they paid for their accommodation; they didn't make trouble, then they are good guests. We don't judge. They may be for work, study, holiday, family reason, insurance claim when their house is under repair or simply waiting for their rental place is ready to move in. And all the motels are the same. Regarding "overpriced", Australia is one of the countries where living cost is high. Along the coast is even higher. So the cost to keep the business running is also very high. We are actually one of the cheapest accommodation in Sunshine Coast while we still keep the place clean and comfortable. You made the booking online, I believe you compared the prices on the website. Again we are sorry that you were not happy for your stay. We still welcome you if you ever comes back. Regards

The property was extremely old, looked like there had been little or no renovations for quite some time. We have a 4 Wheel Drive vehicle that wouldn’t fit under the building. We were very worried about leaving our vehicle in the car park as many of the rooms occupants appeared to be permanents. There were people loitering outside rooms & vehicles full of belonging with their doors open & no owner in sight. What you saw on the Website was definitely not what you got.
Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022
Response from Nambour Lodge Motel on 25 Jul 2022
Dear Jan, I'm sorry for the experience you had with us. I'm quite confident that what you saw on the website is what we've got. But we can't post photos of all rooms. The building is quite old. It was built in 60s I believe. The owner of the property actually did a renovation at certain stage so you could see the interior is modern, but not in a fancy or luxury way. But we are only a 3.5 star motel which already gives you the indication of what we are. And what in the photo is exactly what we look like. The photo didn't show that we actually have smart TVs which you can watch Foxtel though. We do not accept long term residents. All of our rooms are non-smoking rooms. So people must smoke in the outside area. However, that doesn't mean they are permanents. And I don't see how you could link smoking and permanents together. If the guests ever decide they want to open their car door because it got wet after the rain so the car could air and dry, that doesn't mean they are permanents, does it? And they don't have to stay there to watch their car I guess. We got lots of guests who are travelers. We have no control of what they put in their cars. They are very welcome to put their personal belongings in the car. We have no problems with that at all. So I reassure you that what you said is definitely NOT true. I do have a suggestion to you that if you care too much about who else stay at the same motel and have too much concern on them, booking a 4-5 star hotel will be your better choice. Good luck with your future bookings. Kind regards, Nambour Lodge Motel
