Location Location a Brunswick Heads Winner

Location Location - Hard to believe that a renovated Sails Motel at Brunswick Heads is in the middle of the Brunswick Township. Our Unit was so quiet and offered all the mod cons that you need - Micro oven, very small fridge that is not easy to use. A large TV but unfortunately, we were unable to use as we have free to air at home and also Foxtel. We were unable to see the sport as Foxtel was not one of the services you could use. Comfortable bed, Dark Shades in the window. Spacious bathroom and toilet. We parked our car in front of our unit and walked to down town. Brunswick Heads now has paid parking of $5 hour so you are best to park at the motel and walk everywhere. Two Cafe's just outside the Motel that were very popular with the locals. Would loved to use the pool are but the locals said the pool was not heated and very cold. All staff were very friendly and always there to please you. We highly recommend The Sails Motel. The Brunswick Heads Hotel is very popular but expensive. Also the Brunswick Heads Bowls Club is only a 5 minute drive. Has great meals at realistic prices, they also have theme nights eg Italian and Indian night etc where the meal is $24. The local Trivia Nights which most of locals attend. Free Pool all day - a winner with the young and old. Do not walk down to the Bowls Club at night as the lighting is very poor and the pathway needs repair. Heaps of parking near the Bowls Club and it is free. All staff are Helpful and very friendly

Great little motel right in the heart of Bruns. Lovely staff, exceptionally clean. Only taking one star off because I think it is a little overpriced for what it is.

Great Pool and bar area. We spent some time at the restaurant next door for happy hour( 3-5 weekdays) so good that we did it again the following day despite staying somewhere else!

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 🙏

Love the vibe, the pool, the clever design of the rooms and most of all the lights, which are ambient and not fluorescent like in most other motels. And the pizza place next door is great too.
