Great location for dropping off a Caravan rental and having somewhere to stay before heading to the airport the next day. We walked half a block between the two. The lady at the front desk was very kind and helpful. I needed to do laundry and the laundry services had closed for the day, so she drove me to the closest laundry mat to help out. The room was quiet. Balcony was a nice, quiet addition. Would stay here again!

Free Shuttle to the Airport was the main reason chose this motel. Bed was a bit on the hard side, but have slept on worse. Lack of stove top a bit of a pain if you stayed more than one night and wanted to boil an egg etc there aren't many restaurants nearby

The inbound flight from Nauru ETA 1130pm was turned back due to weather conditions in Brisbane. I phoned the Novena Palms Motel as soon as I possible could (been on a plane all night), and they refuse to refund the booking payment. I still have no idea when my Nauru flight will be rescheduled. Certainly won't ever be rebooking into this motel!!!
