Two stars for a few reasons, but particularly relevant for if you’re looking to stay once normal reception is closed. Upon our stay we were arriving late (approx 9:45pm), we checked that they had after hours reception, which they did and prior to arrival I was sent a text saying I had to fill out a form online to pre-check in, as it was after hours, which I did and received a reference number.

We stayed at short notice and couldn't be happier with the on line booking process and follow up phone calls received from the property. An older style motel but that didn't detract from the cleanliness of our Queen room (2x Qu Beds) along with comfy mattresses, all the mod cons required for a comfortable stay. Undercover parking out the front of your room providing easy access for unloading suitcases etc. Quiet night's sleep even though the plane flight path appeared close by. Just a short drive to Tweed Heads central and our visit to Twin Towns Resort. Use motels frequently throughout our travels here and overseas and thoroughly recommend this motel. Would definitely stay again.

Can’t fault it. Cozy little room with a comfortable bed. It’s ran by the owners and it shows, they were absolutely lovely and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay. Bring some earplugs if you’re a light sleeper, Coolangatta airport is nearby and can be a bit noisy, but the airport has a curfew between 11am and 6am so it’s not too bad

I had a wonderful stay at Kennedy Drive Boutique Motel. The property was beautifully decorated, with plenty of lovely plants and homely touches that made the space feel welcoming and peaceful. Everything was spotless, comfortable, and conveniently located near shops and the airport. Despite being so close to the airport, it was surprisingly quiet and relaxing. We especially loved the greenery throughout — it gave the whole place such charm. The only downside was that there was a dog barking quite often from one of the nearby rooms, which was a bit distracting at times. Other than that, everything was fantastic, and I’d be very happy to stay here again.
