    Wow what lovely Motel. Totally exceeded our expectations. Beautiful room, clean and fabulous balcony looking out towards the water. Staff are lovely. Room clean and well designed. Fantastic location, especially if you love boats and Manly.

    We had 4 of us stay here after a concert and was the easiest check in process! The staff were very accommodating with providing us a late check in and our keys ready to be used when we arrived after ours. We stayed in the family room which provided a king and 2 singles with lots of space and a peaceful stay. Can’t thank the lovely staff for our pleasant stay, would definitely return again and recommend to anyone!!👏🏼

    Bed and room was very comfortable with quiet surroundings. However l think $180/night is not good value for money. The last place l stayed at was less expensive by far and offered a continental breakfast in the price. I also got given a health and safety lecture upon asking about a toaster,l have owned a toaster for around 40 years and have never had a toaster burst spontaneously into flames and "it interfering with the electrical wiring" seemed an odd explanation. For this reason l will choose elsewhere to stay next time,as l enjoy good/some service when l travel.

    Great location for a getaway/staycation weekend. The rooms were generous in size with everything we needed. Clean and serviced daily.

    What a pleasant place to stay. Friendly greeting by the owners and nothing too much trouble. Very quiet, large rooms and super comfy king beds and ground floor with sliding door to sunny balcony, so constant fresh air. Terrific position by the yacht club with a waterside bar and restaurant.

    Fantastic stay. Communication and service was prompt, helpful and friendly. The rooms are spacious, clean, and well-equipped with comfortable beds. Tranquil location with a relaxing ambience, even on the ground floor. Would definitely visit again. Thanks for a great stay!

    The motel is very conveniently located. Close to shops, restaurants and markets. The walk to Manly is flat and very accessible. Our rooms were clean and well equipped. The managers were friendly and approachable and quickly sorted out a small problem we had during our stay. A short walk from the motel were some lovely cafes, perfect for a delicious breakfast or lunch.

    Great place. Chris and Trish were fantastic. They communicated well, and were very helpful. The location was great. A short walk to the town and the yacht club right across from the accom. The room was neat and tidy. I’ll be back for sure.

    Stayed here twice for a few nights each time. Staff were polite and welcoming. Rooms are clean with comfortable beds and good sized floor space. Nearby walk to a small beach and not far from restaurants and pubs.

    Great place and location, owners go out of their way to make you feel at home. Rooms are large, comfortable and clean, easy walk into Manly.

  • 5/5 Daniel J. 1 year ago on Google
    This beautifully located hotel was more than happy to assist us when we needed a room urgently. The location was fantastic with bar cafe and restaurant facilities on site in the sailing club. Room was quite modern and very clean. Facilities in room were very handy. Thanks

    Booked for a corporate client, communication thru the booking process was perfect, quick to respond, and extremely helpful. My client reported back that the room was lovely, quiet and the location suited the two day meeting. Lovely quiet peaceful surroundings. 5min walk along the water to restaurants.

    Stayed 2 nights recently with my teenagers. Room was really nicely done within quality consumables and plenty of everything. Staff were terrific from booking through to checkout and was nice to be in grounds of the RQYS. Would happily come back for another stay.

    Room was clean and had everything I needed. Great location. Helpful friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.

    We stayed overnight for our grandson's football coaching clinic nearby, in an upstairs unit on the south eastern side (there is a lift). It was very spacious for a motel. Although we were all in one room, it had more of the feel of an apartment, with a private outside deck and views over the bushland and bay. Because the motel is located inside the grounds of the Wynnum/Manly Yacht Club, we were able to go to the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron Clubhouse right opposite for dinner and breakfast, very handy and lovely.

    Had a short stay at Many Marina Cove Motel. Great location near the Marina with a short drive to Cafe and restuaruants. Rooms very nicely presented with plenty of room and bed was very comfortable. Very important. Looking forward to our next stay.

  • 5/5 Amanda O. 8 months ago on Google
    Had a lovely stay here. We had an function on at the Yacht Club so the location was perfect. We stayed in a bottom floor room with a nice little verandah. My favourite feature was the little kitchen sink that made it so much easier to fill up drink bottles and wash the breakfast dishes. Will definitely stay again.

    Great location. Friendly staff. Amazing rooms that are clean, comfy and spacious. Recommend for anyone looking for a chance to rest and relax by the coast.

  • 5/5 Cherryl L. 5 months ago on Google
    We're glad we discovered this place. We booked accommodation for 5 nights to spend Christmas in Brisbane. We love the location—close to the Royal Esplanade, offering a relaxing view of the marina and greens on the other side. The room is spotlessly clean, beds are comfortable, there’s a small sink for washing dishes and cutlery, and a small verandah to enjoy the outdoors. The Royal Yacht Club restaurant next door is an amazing place for breakfast. Awesome customer service from Trish and Chris. We'll come back again when we're in Brisbane. Only one minor suggestion for improvement is to install apps on the TV to allow the use of streaming apps.

  • 5/5 Marc Van R. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place to stay. Staff were extremely helpful ( I arrived late). Rooms were comfy and clean. Would definitely visit again.

  • 5/5 Judy C. 6 months ago on Google
    What a pleasant surprise. Nestled next to the marina at Manly QLD what’s not to like. Room was spotless and well furnished. We will definitely stay here whenever we are in Brisbane.well done.

    Great joint right next to the water. Parking is very convenient, quiet rooms, and the front desk are super nice! Scored a couple of bonus xmas brownies too ❤️

  • 5/5 Blake T. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic room and wonderful management. We had a few additional requests, trip extensions and the like and Sue was wonderful in accommodating our requests. Thankyou

  • 5/5 Hangwi T. 2 years ago on Google
    We stayed overnight on 14 Aug 2021 - the motel was super clean. Staff was efficient and friendly. It was very good value for money. Will stay here again if we are visiting Manly.

  • 5/5 Keryn O. 3 years ago on Google
    Room was nice and clean. Unfortunately there was a plumbing issue so there was no hot water for showers. It was of no fault of the managers who were very apologetic. Our only complaint was no undercover carparking and there was torrential rain for our 3 days visit. Got saturated every time we parked.

    Professional and courteous covid check-in process. Clean rooms and courteous staff.

  • 5/5 GLEN L. 3 years ago on Google
    A delightful, quiet location to explore the Manly area. Accommodation was excellent - stylish, spacious & kept spotlessly clean. We booked a Family Room so had plenty of space & it was well equipped. Staff were very friendly, helpful & efficient. We would certainly stay here again.

  • 5/5 Ebony D. 3 years ago on Google
    We always stay here because it’s clean, the staff are friendly and the bed is comfortable. Close to the water and parks for children.

  • 5/5 Heather W. 3 years ago on Google
    The staff were great i personally haven't stayed as yet as I live in qld but have referred friends and family there from interstate. The care and understanding is next to none. Highly recommend this place to stay

  • 5/5 Shanna Ah W. 2 years ago on Google
    Was here for 1 night and it was a lovely stay. Great location to the Ports where I had business. Rooms are extremely clean and Sue & Paul are a lovely couple. Very helpful and friendly. Will stay again.

  • 5/5 Andrew H. 2 years ago on Google
    You can't get any closer to the yacht club than this. This makes this clean neat & tidy motel perfect for the occasion. Make sure to book ahead so you won't be disappointed. Cheers

  • 5/5 dale m. 2 years ago on Google
    We stayed at Manly Marina Cove Motel on and off during August 2021. We found it to be clean, comfortable and quiet with effective COVID processes in place. Sue, Paul and staff were very friendly and flexible to our needs. We have no hesitation in recommending Manly Marina Cove Motel. Damian & Dale

    The bed was very comfortable and a nice soft warm blanket which was great, it was a nice clean comfortable place. I only stayed for one night but I would happily stay there again.

  • 5/5 Sue R. 2 years ago on Google
    An excellent place to stay. Comfortable, spacious, great service and an amazing sunset view from the balcony. Thank you Sue and Paul

  • 4/5 Mitchell R. 2 years ago on Google
    Rooms a 5/5, bathrooms 3/5. Overall a solid 4/5. Staff on site very helpful. Good clean rooms.

  • 5/5 Angel Chen w. 2 years ago on Google
    When I arrived at the restaurant late, the counter was closed, the service was good, help me open the door. The room is very clean, I will choose this hotel again.

  • 5/5 Deana B. 1 year ago on Google
    What a wonderful hidden gem this motel is. Nestled in the Manly Yatch Club grounds. As a lady on her own I felt safe knowing that a secure gate closed at night. My room was immaculate with everything I needed including a bath 🛁. The location is perfect everything I wanted was a 3 to 6 minutes drive. Lots of on-site parking. Definitely will be back. You can't go wrong choosing to stay here.

  • 5/5 Lynette C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location as we needed to work on a boatat theMarina, helpful service and very comfortable stay. Thank you 😊

  • 3/5 Ed K. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything about this place is average except the location. We also had the room booked for months in advance and they stuffed it up. One lady very rude didn't even try to fix the problem ( we booked a double bed and got 2 singles ) . 2nd lady behind counter very nice apologies galore and helped us any way she could . Would not recommend though

  • 1/5 Ryan P. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately we didn’t have a positive experience staying at this hotel. Customer service wasn’t high on the priority list for the gentleman at the reception it seems. After making you sign a waiver to ensure you don’t bring weird items in like toasters, sandwich presses and other food preparing devices (why would we anyway?) We were also not allowed to bring in any other valuable items that we valued highly as part of our sailing and training equipment. Do they know the hotel is at a yacht club? You pay over $200 a night for a room, I would expect to be able to bring in expensive items to keep them safe and looked after. Instead we were told to read the terms and conditions and find somewhere else to keep it. Overall, a lazy response to customer service requests in general and if you have a request for anything I can already tell you the likely answer - it’s probably a NO. * The ladies at reception seemed nice though!
