Independent in Murrigal from AU$95

"Loved our 2 weeks at Mission Reef retreat...so close to the amazing beach...our apartment was spacious and very comfortable...Leon and Michelle were perfect hosts...would definitely love to stay again."

"This place is a gem! Perhaps our favorite of 6 places along the Queensland coast. Super-quiet, very modern, like a cabin in the woods, on the beach! Steps from a gorgeous long stretch of beach (no one on it in late July), nice plunge pool, good amenities, although not a full kitchen. (Who knew you could microwave salmon?) There is a cart for luggage, 2 minutes’ walk to the property. So private yet 5 minutes from restaurants. We will be thinking of it months from now. "

"The staff were friendly and really made the trip. Everywhere was clean and the gardens beautiful. My only issue was the food, looked pretty but I didn't think it compared to the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was good but not such a fan of the dinner menu."

"Absolutely loved the quiet and environment. Perfect getaway place."

"Recently renovated traditional motel style room was very comfortable. Tastefully decorated and everything was new. Great to park directly outside the room and walk in with no stairs. Nice big bathroom with toiletries supplied. Big smart TV. Good wifi. "

"Great to see the improvements taking place at this property. It was perfect for what my family required. Very comfortable rooms and excellent beds and pillows!"

"Great spot for Ocean views out the front & walk along the foreshore to the pub & Main Street. Simply & comfortable accompation. Full Wash & Dry for $10 on site."

"What a great motel this is. The rooms that we had were great. Beds were excellent and the bathroom nice and modern. It was the best motel we stayed in on our trip and we stayed in four others. The restaurant does good food. Just as well as so many places in Cardwell were closed. The ocean villas that they have available look fantastic. Just one thing that does need sorting out and that is the internet it regularly dropped out. Not great for teenagers and parents trying to appease them. Get that sorted out and you e got a diamond. "

"We stayed here for three nights with my husband and two sons. The apartment is well located for the beach, shops and restaurants. There has been some effort to improve the apartment with the kitchen and bathroom looking relatively recently renovated. Weirdly, in the second bedroom, there are lamps attached to the wall either side of the bed but they don't work because they are not plugged in - there isn't a single powerpoint in that room! I found the apartment quite dark and not a really lovely place to stay during the day as there was also no view of any kind. Unfortunately, during our stay, the pool was under maintenance, otherwise, I would have spent time during the day sitting poolside. The bed in the main bedroom could do with a new mattress. It sagged heavily in to the middle which made sleeping difficult. A new mattress would increase my rating."
