The motel has a lovely restaurant which had a great band playing lovely Jazz the night we were there. We had a great room which was well equiped and was either newly updated or had been extremely well maintained. Amanda at reception was outstanding and is well placed in a position in hospitality.

The Sails Motel in Brunswick Heads is one of those places that quietly does its job without trying to cosplay as a luxury resort. Clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a location that’s annoyingly convenient. You can walk to the river, beach, pubs, and cafés in minutes, which means you barely need the car. The pool area is a nice bonus, and while it’s still a motel at heart, it’s a well-kept one. Overall it’s a solid, reliable stay.
