Guest Reviews
- Nicole (9/5): Great location, walking distance to visit the wild dolphins - The location, staff and facilities were great Beds uncomfortable
- Roesler (10/5): -
- Barry (10/5): Outstanding - Everything was Above what we expected. Will stay there again without any hesitation. Nothing. went to relax and did just that
- Lyn (8/5): - Perfect locatikon We were in apartment 12. The outside light on apartment 11 was on all night which we understand is for safety. However our balcony was always brightly lit by this light. Perhaps lengthening the fence to make it higher to cover the light would solve this issue. I wouldn't stay there again because of this.
- Megan (10/5): Lovely stay, friendly owner, close to tin can bay for dolphin feeding - just note if your arriving late, the location is - Everything you needed Nothing
- Zoey Hollingsworth (9/5): Great place to stay while you have a quiet getaway - We have stayed here a couple of times before. Rooms are affordable, spacious and well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The roller blinds, but other then that everything was amazing!
- colin (10/5): Love staying here perfect location - Location Nothing
- Anthony (9/5): Just go there and enjoy they even hav an air frier - Location and owner conversation Neat can tidy
- Bayne (9/5): Beautiful 😍 - Great location ,great value for money staff were very warm and welcoming Nothing
- laird&lady Graham (9/5): - The relaxed vibe of the area. Only issue was sliding glass door needs new rollers, very difficult to open and close.
- Peter (9/5): - Friendly, affordable, good facilities Maybe an additional toilet roll or a box of tissues or kitchen paper would have been good. They are undergoing renovations and it looks great
- Mark (9/5): Had a great stay. Location is excellent and walking distance to all local amenities. Staff stayed late to check us in an - Great location, nice and clean rooms, very friendly and accommodating staff. Pool lounges were mouldy.
- Alan (10/5): -

- Denise (10/5): Loved it! - Fantastic location. Friendly and accommodating hosts. The apartment is roomy and has convenient facilities, such as cooking, washer, dryer.
- Mandy (10/5): Serene and relaxing. - This property was conveniently located across the road from the water and walkway. The pool
was a real bonus and the room was well equipped. Nothing.
- Libby (7/5): 2 night family stop over - Friendly reception. Fully self contained apartments that are private fron neighbours yet open in a great location. They do need a visit from pest control as there were alot of roaches and ants
- Chisholm (10/5): What a magic spot! - Clean, well appointed, friendly, beyond accommodating owners and a beautiful location. Thank you we will be back and less noisy nect time :)

- helen (9/5): Great stop over - Great stay, awesome place. Couldn't fault it
- Melanie (8/5): -
- Chris Brown 14 (9/5): Great location for dolphin feeding , 1/2 nights stay for small family - The location is amazing, just a 10min walk to the Tin Can Bay harbour for the early morning dolphin feeding. There's also a local swimming pool for a quick swim and a café / diner for fish&chips. The beds were incredibly soft, so we didn't sleep that well - but that's a personal preference rather than anything negative about the facilities.
- Natacha (8/5): Nice Little motel close to the dolphin viewing -
- Natacha (8/5): Nice little motel close to the dolphin viewing/feeding in Tin Can Bay - Nice simple apartment. Close to the dolphin feeding. Perfect for a short stay. We didn’t test the pool but there is one. All good for a one night stay - couldn’t judge for longer.
- Beata (8/5): - The view of the bay was beautiful and the sunrise was so colorful . The accomodation was in a quiet location so it was peaceful and enjoyable. The apartment was clean , tidy and friendly. There was no bath math in the shower and the shower gel was not enough for four people , it was only two .
There was no oven in the kitchen .
- O'Connor (7/5): - Fair price for what it is. Would stay there again. Not much to dislike , given the moderate price of $570 for 3 nights for 2 bedrooms.
- Nadia (10/5): Fantastic location and quiet - Great location. Rooms were spacious. Area was nice and quiet. Rooms were clean and very well presented. We will be back again and use. Highly recommend

There is nothing I disliked about my stay at Dolphin Waters.
- James (10/5): Comfortable, lovely views, close to everything we needed and lovely staff. - Our stay at Dolphin Waters was lovely. Greg was very welcoming, and nice chatting with him. The view from our Deluxe apartment was exceptional, looking over the Bay. Our apartment was very clean, and comfortable. It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. It is close to The Snack Shack (seafoods), the Marina, and close to shops. Nothing comes to mind. Only the fact that we had to leave there yesterday to come back to Brisbane.

- John Willie Dela (8/5): Great, Location, Spacious Rooms - The room was spacious and mostly clean the location was amazing as it was right across the beach, staff were friendly and helpful. The motel also had a small pool which was perfect for the kids. As we stayed in a room on ground floor, we had little privacy between us and other guests staying, who were often quite loud.

- Anita (8/5): great place to stay - great location, walking distance to marina, local supermarket, hotel and takeaway shops. undercover parking for normal size car, 2 bed unit was very nice air con only in living area, fans in other rooms. loved having a washing machine and dryer for a week stay. cooktop was a bit dodgy, heat adjustment seemed to not work. great convection microwave and lovely big full size fridge little hard for parking a larger vehicle but we do expect that, at least we had off street parking

- McCullough (10/5): We'll be back - Excellent location, live band at the Snack Shack Thursday night, clean well -appointed unit, good size balcony with water views.
- Richard (8/5): A pleasant break in a pleasant amicable place. - We liked the position near the waterway and proximity to a club and dolphin experience The second bedroom was smaller than expected.
- Sylvia (9/5): - The unit and location were very good, as were the hosts.
- Melissa (8/5): I would highly recommend this quiet location for the perfect way to spending a relaxing weekend away. - Lovely clean unit that was spacious with a comfortable bed! The view was very nice and the pool was well maintained. There was only 1 air con in the unit and it didn’t quite reach the bedrooms so, they were a bit warm.
There wasn’t a tea towel in the kitchen and the dish cloth was old and used.
- Lisa (9/5): - Easy to get to,very friendly , great view.
- Ken (9/5): Enjoyed our two night stay and would choose again when in this area - Very clean room comfortable and friendly staff. Nothing comes to mind.
- Danielle (9/5): -
- tate (7/5): Quiet! And Relaxing stay with a visit to Cooloola Coast and Golf club Chinese restaurant. - Location was very good. On the waterfront with
a pool. Close walk to Boat Club, very close to take away or eat in food. Comfortable bed. Glasses for beer, wine etc could have been for four, we're not usually fussy but it seems a small request when paying a fair price. It will be a much smarter accommodation once the updates are finished. Skimping on some things over shadows the good feel.
- Nicki (8/5): Thank you! - Location, amenities and staff were all great The apartment and furniture was a bit old and dated
- Jacqui (10/5): Relax, Enjoy the Quiet. - Absolutely everything I could imagine was in the unit. Enough soap to do washing, a full equipped kitchen, no oven but thats unnecessary as you have everything else!
Greeted on arrival by lovely manager, the room was super clean, bed was amazingly comfy.
A highly recommended provider!
Close for a day on the beach at Double Island Point.
Perfect!
- Cherelle-Louise (10/5): -
