Ocean Parade Motel

The room was clean and tidy. The air con was cool enough. The wifi was stable. The owners were helpful. I arrived the motel 2.5 hours earlier than the check-in time, and the room was already available for me.

Above average but no guest internet service

Arrived in Coffs the Tuesday night before Cyclone Alfred. We were on a house hunting mission and had planned to camp for a bit. Then the weather changed suddenly and 6.30pm we were looking for accommodation. Reached out to Ocean Parade motel and (new managers) Mark & Donna didn't hesitate to assist. We ended up staying between the motel and the holiday cabins, that Mark and Donna also manage, for 3 weeks. Mark and Donna have taken the challenge since July 2024 to rectify all the past manager's short comings and have been fixing up both properties, working tirelessly to give customers the experience they are looking for. Any traveller can rest easy knowing the properties are clean and comfortable which makes for a pleasant stay. As mentioned, we were looking to buy a home and Mark and Donna were great in accommodating our unknown stay time. Where they had a traveller tentatively booked into our room, they did what I call 'the booking shuffle' and we were never left looking for somewhere else to stay. The holiday cabins down the road are undergoing the same face lift, and while a little dated still they are very clean, plus there is a lovely lady, Jackie, who lives in the park to help keep things clean, and an eye on the park for Mark and Donna. I would 100% recommend either place. Mark and Donna are amazing, and in my opinion, what they have achieved since taking over management is just the start of things to come.
