Great place to stay at an affordable price.

Low key motel in Brunswick Heads. Good location within an easy walk of the river and the beach. Some excellent food and coffee options within 2 minutes walk. Rooms are retro style but very well equipped. Nice modern bathroom. Parking spaces are big and wide.

Bruns retro stop

There are several lively restaurants, live bad on Sunday arvo to night. I loved it!! But if u have a challenging Bub / toddler it may possibly be a touch loud. Excellent food, best coffee, great crowd at your fingertips. Retro rooms, new reno, pool with drink bar, cool retro fit. I had the single queen and loved it. Maybe a wee difficult for family of little ones. Wishing Sails a very bright future 🙏
