    My Son swims for exercise & the pool was out of use. In a hot month that was pretty inconvenient.

    My Mum is at Fairways Retirement Village so the Kaluha is a very convenient & affordable motel to stay at. The Lady at Reception was lovely & helpful. We had two rooms, my Son & myself & they were both good. Not noisy which was nice.

    Toilet wasn't completely clean and not as family friendly as advertised as hotel door opens straight to driveway and busy road so no where for kids to safely run around

    Beds comfy, aircon and fan were great. Good location to where I needed to be and good price

    You can clearly hear your fellow tourists leaving early in the morning.

    Location is North Bundaberg so you would need a car. Despite being just off a highway it was not noisy. Room is equipped with a microwave and crockery and cutlery, so easy to make a simple meal in the room. Room is a generous size.

    Heavy mould around the bottom of the shower. A spray of bleach would get rid of that. Where was the spare toilet paper? In the clothes cupboard, not on the toilet cistern which would have been the obvious place. One little piece of soap for 2 people for 2 days? Not enough. No servicing of the room on the second day. One bed castor should be under the bed, not sticking out for a toe to be stubbed against it.

    The kitchen sink with washing up amenities was pleasant received. Clean cupboard with cutlery and crockery. Comfortable bed. Towel rail sufficiently wide for 2 towels. Hand rail in toilet and shower were appreciated. Nice shower rose.

    The kettle was busted in my room so I couldn't make tea or coffee which was a bit meh, but didn't really impact me all that much. It was an ancient kettle.

    Clean rooms, covered parking and pretty central (though not what you'd call picturesque). Pretty normal for motel standards.

    It was noisy at night, Our unit was on a main road. Some of the units were on a side road and may have been quieter.

    Room was good. Close to town (just across bridge on North side of River). Close to shopping centre (IGA) and Hotel. The Motel is old but our room had been updated and was very good. Bathroom was excellent.

    When I arrived I was advised Booking. Com had doubled booked my room however they could offer me a room for the night for $50 I declined as I had booked in good faith. Bunderberg Motel/Hotels were all booked out for the night therefore I had less of a chance finding other accomodation. The reception gave me the me room key and said it is their issue and would work it out.I was impressed as it wasn't my fault

    Reception staff was friendly upon arrival. The room was clean also bed was comfortable to sleep in. Following morning the cleaning person was open and friendly

    Smoking at next door outside was inconvenient. Garbage bin was near to our room which was smelling like anything. No soap tray in bathroom, Not convenient for shaving as mirror is at one place and sink is at other place. There was no fan switch available Some construction material left outside reception, ambience was not good for first time visitors Not worth for $140 per night.

    The location was good, I was able to get staff's attention when arrived. It's good for one night stay. Room was neat and tidy. I got what i asked by the reception. Air condition was good. Free Cancellation policy was good Communication by email was good.

    Horrible owners, rude and constantly slamming doors, their grandchildren were running down the hallway making noises, never asked if I needed fresh towels or sheets.
