Initial impression driving in was of a very ordinary motel, but that is wrong.The room was great, freshly decorated and very clean. The staff were great and we had a good meal at the pub as well as some drinks on the terrace in the evening. The bed was very comfortable. Would stay again. Occasional noise from passing truck, unavoidable given the way the road runs through Cardwell and otherwise quiet. We were here for the UFO festival which we also enjoyed.

Didn't like that the sensor lights outside the room seemed to be on all night. Also the room was a bit musky on arrival from being shut up

The bed was super comfy - I was quite suprised. The rain shower head was awesome, great pressure.

Nothing - the property was far better than expected for the piece, so excellent value for Money as well

The location was right on the water. The room was as new and the bed and pillows were really comfortable

It was modern, comfy bed, clean and new. I felt very safe. Easy access to a dinner location and more importantly the beach! Little bit of a odd location but didnt feel unsafe at all. Card locked door, double blinds and very lovely staff. Will recommend to all who are going to cardwell!!!

Location -served as a route for passing cars & is located next to a pub I did feel a little unsafe as a single female traveler could do with more secure lock on the door No tissue box Not enough toilet paper

Very nice room and comfy bed.

The access at the back of the old pub was a bit grotty.

Lovely updated rooms which looked fairly new.

No toaster but not a deal breaker.

Well fitted out small rooms, spotless, quiet location at the back of the pub, a toaster would rate it a ten. Good value meals in the Marine Hotel.

We loved everything. We have stayed in many nightcap locations, and this is one of the best.

Very quiet despite the behind-a-pub location, and beds and pillows were fantastic, just what we needed after a long day on the road. The location was also very convenient, with numerous cafes a short walk away. The room was clean with good lighting, lots of powerpoints at both sides of the bed. Only slight issue was the lack of a box of tissues or a spare loo roll, but we had some in the car. Hot Tip: Adrift Cafe next block over has THE BEST brekkie wraps!❤️

What a gem! Small but completely renovated units at the back of the hotel and beautifully done. Immaculate - great bathroom, VERY comfy bed. Amazing value for money. The receptionist was welcoming helpful and friendly. Ate at the pub, great fish and chips. Walked along the gorgeous esplanade; Cardwell town is beautiful. Just an amazing stopover on the way to Townsville.

The whole experience was great. From check in staff to cleaners. Perfect location for Cardwell, pub up front, which does amazing pizzas, rooms were extremely comfortable, clean and affordable. Highly rate it.

There was a loud noise like a generator running all night which cut in about every 20mins. I thought we were next door to a truck stop!

We didn't have breakfast. Dinner was good.
