Just easy going Nothing it’s great

The owners were lovely and very approachable. Besides the clean facilities. My only feedback would be that it would have been nice to have a sink to clean the dishes.
Other than that, I could not fault them.
- Michelle (10/5): -
- Julie (7/5): Relaxed, convenient location, nice pool. Christmas beach was nice. - We liked at pool and the sound of birds. Close to Brunswick Heads. Courtesy bus pickup and drop off to country club. Well equipped kitchen with microwave. Uncomfortable beds too hard needs top comfort layer.
- Anthony (8/5): A quiet oasis off the Highway - It was convenient to where we needed to go. The room was big, clean and comfortable. The BBQ area was tremendous and we cooked up a big veggie fry on it. Not much. The bathroom was a little small, but this wasn’t a huge issue

So close to the beach,huge pool, our apartment looked out over the pool, so very pretty at night! A gym, spar, close to kids playground, walking tracks, coffee shops etc, etc. We will definitely be back!!!

Het was een rustig en aangenaam verblijf. geen opmerking.
- Pedro (10/5): - Great place for a getaway
- Fiona (3/5): Convenient for an overnight stay but not well rested - Shower - excellent Staff gave a very warm welcome - very hospitable. Good parking. Room very clean. Loved the coffee machine. Not enough toilet paper. Room smelled of damp. no kitchen sink for washing up. Bed - hard - too hard for a good sleep.
Key very difficult for arthritic fingers. Step up into bathroom was a worry for arthritic knees. Coffee machine great but poor quality coffee
- Vikki (10/5): An incredibly comfortable and peaceful stay with wonderfully accommodating staff. - I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and would happily return. The staff were incredibly accommodating, always ready to help with a warm smile and genuine hospitality. They went out of their way to make sure everything was comfortable and convenient for us.
The beds were comfy, making it easy to relax and get a great night’s sleep after a long day. I also loved the location — it was quiet and serene, offering a peaceful atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of Byron, GC and Brunswick Heads but close enough so you can drive there. Overall, a truly pleasant and restful experience. Highly recommended!
- Robert (10/5): Great place. Friendly host - Beautiful big room. Easy access with bags It was all good
- Andrew (6/5): Clean and comfortable - It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The accommodation was only a 5 min Uber ride to the Bruns Hotel. It was an old motel and the price was very high for the level of accommodation.
- Jake (8/5): -

- Kip (9/5): A nice location to return to after work each day - Room was clean, if the staff had to enter for cleaning or any other reason I was called in advance. The only sink for washing dishes was the one in the bathroom.
- Mark (8/5): -
- Toni (9/5): Easy to find great motel to stay and the owners very friendly and helpful. - Location great for us. Easy access to highway. Shops and beach with in a 5min drive. Breakfast not applicate. No complaints

- Ferrier (9/5): -
- dorothy (9/5): Altogether, very comfortable. Hosts were marvellous. - Cleanliness, comfort. Large bathroom with a window. The shower is very slippery. I almost fell twice. Thismproblwmmneeds tommbe addresed before someone has a nast accident.
- Helen (10/5): Gerald and Suzanna were very hospitable and helpful to make my stay awesome. - I loved my room clean and comfortable an Ocean Shores was Central to New Brighton, Brunswick, Byron, Mullum and Bangalow and not far from the Gold Coast . I will definitely stay there again.l Everything was perfect
- Mahmood (10/5): Felt home - Cleanliness, spacious rooms None
- Karryn (3/5): Staying here served its purpose. The 2 people who worked there seemed nice. I wouldn’t stay here again if I can avoid it - I loved that we could take my Mums dog with us for our short break. Their dog friendly area is great however a fence somewhere so they can be safe off leash would be nice. I’m ok with using a leash, it would just make is safer. I wasn’t misled but I “assumed” the room had 1 bedroom. I didn’t see any photos of a room with a double and 2 singles in it. Slightly crowded for 3 generations. I never knew motels didn’t make beds daily. This one doesn’t. There is a sign where the coffee machine is saying you have to wash your dishes before you leave or there will be a $50 fee added to “our” already $700+ for 2 nights. Again okay, there is no sink. There is a plastic bowel in a cupboard with cleaning products. How is anyone able to trust anyone previous to have actually cleaned anything. One glass had lipstick. I’m going to assume it isn’t checked.

Could have done with a sink in the room for washing up etc.

- Michael (9/5): -
- Jodie (7/5): An enjoyable stay on my visit to the northern rivers area - i wanted somewhere clean and comfortable to sleep while i explored during the day .Ocean shores meet my requirements and i was happy to relax after a busy day .The shower had great pressure for an enjoyable cleaning experience. i would have liked a small sink in the room would make cleaning dishes and filling water bottles a lot easier then going to the bathroom to get water . while someone could be in the shower.
- Mark (10/5): We'll be back! - Very friendly staff and welcomed with a big smile on arrival. Our room exceeded our expectations. The family rooms are big with high ceilings, so you don't feel shut in. Pet friendly which is a wonderful bonus. The beds are super comfy, and location is great. I would recommend the Ocean Shores to anyone.
