Comfortable beds, great shower and super clean. Great pub and beer garden adjacent to the accommodation serving good food which was welcome on our road trip up to Brisbane. Tea Gardens is just 10 mins off the highway and the sunrise over the water was stunning

The Tea Gardens motel is a great pkace to stay. They had nice sizeable rooms for the price I paid. There was a childrens playground in the centre area, which makes it great for families. The dining options are big considering thete is a restaurant at the motel, and other restaurants in the area.
The bay outside the motel is just across the road, and provides a nice view when you are outside. The atmosphere is very welcoming and you feel comfortable staying here.

People next door were talking loudly and swearing until after 2:00am. Sitting out the front of their room and banging doors. Apart From the noise the staff were pleasant and the room was good value for money. Decor was great.

Nice room but a little noisy on the main road.
Lights are on on the balcony until the hotel closes.
Could do with better blinds or curtains,

As long as you sleep after 10pm , it should be very good place to stay. If you want to enjoy live music it is even good. It only a little not good for people who want to go to bed earlier.
