Billabong Lodge Motel

Stayed one night (Room 13, Ground Floor). Hosts Jess and Sam are very friendly and accommodating. Our room was dated and needs some work, but clean and tidy and the hosts are working their way through the rooms. Kettle and toaster in room with cutlery etc. Microwave, fridge and telly as well. Bed comfortable which is all we wanted while travelling through. Cost $130 for the night.

Very nice place for the price. Very efficient and has all the primary needs. It was exactly what we were looking for during our passage in Townville, a really good surprise. The room was particularly clean and very modern. The staff was also very nice. Would 100% recommend.

Clean modern room (apart from the box air conditioner which was noisy ). A nice renovation to a very old building. Standard amenities. Convenient location with easy car access. A bit expensive for a 3 star motel. At this price point I would expect the inclusion of Foxtel and/or Netflix.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The beds were super comfortable, best nights sleep I’ve had at a motel. The rooms were clean and well presented, it was a great place to stay. We’ll be back!

Pulled up out the front after dark with a caravan. Pete gave me a place to park the van for the night off the street. The bed was the most comfortable motel bed I've ever slept in and the shower was great. Pete was so helpful and accommodating. Would recommend staying here.

The owner and staff were so helpful, friendly and honest and absolutely went above and beyond for our sporting team. The motel is so close to the basketball stadium which is awesome. They even put on bacon and egg rolls for breakfast on our first morning for $5 a head which was yummy and helpful. The rooms were good and anything they lacked was apparently going to be upgraded soon so that was positive. Two out of the three beds in our room had super comfortable mattresses also which you don't always find. We will return again for sure.

I refer to the previous review titles "Going Downhill". When I arrived at the Hotel last week those Manager's were there and I totally get what was said in that review. I travel all the time for work and that was one of the rudest check-in experiences I have ever had!!!! Thankfully the Lodge owner's got wind of what was happening and despite not having Hotel experience Brett and Jody stepped straight in and things were so comfortable, warm and welcoming. Brett and Jody went above and beyond in assisting myself and other guests and I had a brilliant stay!!! Please don't let the actions of the previous Manager's deter people from staying here. I highly recommend it!

Have been coming to this motel for over 18 months last visit found that there was new managers. Welcomed and acknowledge I was a returning customer to my amazement the room price had gone up $30 paid and went to the room which was full of flies checked internet price and found I was changed over $20 more. Obviously don’t care about regular clientele lost my business and several more people we have recommended. So sad really enjoyed this motel

I really enjoyed my stay at this little gem of a motel. King sized bed was divinely comfortable ( just loved the professionaly laundered sheets!). I slept soundly and woke refreshed. The kitchen was spotless and had everything I needed to cook a meal. The bathroom also was immaculate with very good quality complementary toiletries. Being able to park right outside the front door after a long drive was most appreciated. And the best part? Being made welcome by the friendly and hard working owners - a wonderful example of the famous North Queensland hospitality! Highly recommended. 5 stars from me. 👍
