I've enjoyed every stay at this location. Before this COVID, I would go twice a year. On or off peak season. A great place to relax.

I don’t know where to start….our first holiday in forever due to Covid and Sunburst Motel was clean, everything we needed and conveniently just a few steps away from the bus stop. But most of all the Beautiful Family who run this Motel went the extra mile, very polite, caring and the children helping out little rays of sunshine. Thank you for such an amazing experience~ if we ever come back to QLD you will be our go to 😊
Highly recommend Sunburst Motel

Sooooooo nice. Very friendly and easy to deal with the staff. Clean, very reasonably priced. Had a faucet issue, it was fixed in literally 20 mins from the time we notified the front desk about it. Also, checked out already and forgot something in the room, took me up and opened it immediately to retrieve my belongings. Amazing place!!!!!!!
