Top Scarborough Hotel Reviews

Boat Harbour Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Many reviews mentioned how clean the Boat Harbour Motel is and that's very true. Was greeted by Max upon arrival at the Reception desk - what a nice man. Beds were very comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was awesome and we enjoyed our one night stay."

Quest Cronulla Beach

8/10 Good

"Check in staff where helpful and they were abrupt, the room was as advertised but please be aware being at the front of the hotel you are above a night club which on Saturday the noise restrictions do not come into effect till 2am, so don't expect and early night. On these night's perhaps a room higher up would be better. Otherwise, great location with plenty of restaurants and cafe's about with beaches across the road all within easy flat walk. Check out staff was great."
