Welcome to the Blue Heron Motel, a family-owned and operated Gold Coast Boutique Motel that’s recently undergone a fantastic makeover. Nestled in the heart of Mermaid Beach, we’re just a stone’s throw away from the beach, restaurants, and supermarkets, offering you the perfect location for your holiday.
At the Blue Heron Motel, your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. Our rooms, thoughtfully designed for solo travellers, business guests, couples, and groups, exude a relaxed beachside vibe reminiscent of days gone by. We take cleanliness seriously, ensuring your stay is a refreshing one. Our comfortable beds guarantee a great night’s sleep, and our easy check-in process makes your arrival a breeze. Plus, if you’re arriving late, no worries – we offer the convenience of late check-in.
When you’re not out exploring the Gold Coast, you can often find our guests lounging by the pool or unwinding in our cosy gazebo and BBQ area. And when hunger strikes, you’re spoiled for choice with the numerous fantastic cafés and restaurants right at your doorstep.
We’re incredibly proud to share that we hold the esteemed title of #1 in Mermaid Beach on TripAdvisor and have been recognised as one of the Top 5 coolest Motels in all of Australia. Our friendly service is the icing on the cake, ensuring your stay with us is truly memorable.
Posted on Steve DealTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great, clean room. Nice bathroom and shower. The pool was only a few feet from my door. Easy and quick check in. August 2025 and they're building tram tracks outside on the highway at night but I barely heard a thing. Pretty quiet. Good experience. I'll stay there again.Posted on Sue CoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Blue Heron didn't disappoint. We loved our close proximity to beach, Nobby's beach shops, Miami & Mermaid shops & cafes. The rooms are clean, comfy beds, staff helpful, the free bikes amazing.. We stayed for 4 days and will be back. Poke Poke & Bam Bam Bakehouse is a must visit too.Posted on Trip.com MemberTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really enjoyed my stay. Francs JR pizza is a short walk and an excellent place. Motel is just 5min walk to the beach, amazing sunrises. The rooms come well equipped with kitchen utensils including toaster kettle, cutlery - all are Clean. Air Con/Heating works great. Shower works well and pumps out hot water when needed. The rooms and bathroom are well. Reception only operates between 2pm and 5pm but there are early check in and late check out boxes. They notifiy you via your booking agency or email how to check in out of hours. There is a pool - the staff are maintaing and cleaning everyday.Posted on jay pTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good, clean rooms, I slept well!

We were looking for a place near the new hospital. The rooms are very well done and perfect for both human and family puppy to enjoy.Posted on Alastair JohnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. One of the very few places we could find that accommodated our family of 5 without charging through the nose. Close to cafes for brekki (J's Lunchette makes incredible coffee!), short walk to swimming beach... kids loved the pool even though it was raining 👌🙌Posted on Jenna PetersenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend this motel. The room had aircon, was clean, quiet and well stocked. The bed was comfortable, the location was perfect and the check in process was easy. Absolutely great value, I’d be staying here again.Posted on Pete PetersenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly check-in at reception. Hotel was clean and accommodations were comfortable. Awesome water pressure in the shower! Appreciated the proximity to groceries, etc. Walk to beach is super easy. If ambitious, its possible to walk all the way to Surfers Paradise. We didn’t, but plenty of places to pick up a Lime bike for a quick way to get back.
