Top Great Sandy Strait Hotel Reviews

Ned Kelly's Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Very comfortable stay for our family of 4. Clean and spacious with Well stocked amenities. Price was good for what you get!"

Tin Can Bay's Sleepy Lagoon Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to the pub and easy walk around destination"

K'gari Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The accommodation is conveniently located on the eastern side of the island which makes it easy to take in the sites. The apartment we had was clean and comfortable, although there was an issue with the hot water that we were not warned about. This translated to cold showers in winter for the first 24 hours of our stay. The restaurant was also being renovated when we stayed, but staff did their best to ensure reasonable meals. The pool tables gave us some night-time entertainment that was appreciated, although this area had a very ‘school-camp’ vibe. The pool was too cold to use when we stayed. Staff were friendly."
