We had a wonderful stay at Motel Nomad! We are a couple of Scots in Cairns looking to buy a van and we booked here to give us a place to stay. Little did we know that this would be the best decision we made as we were surrounded by locals, with their hands on their hearts, who welcomed us like family. There is a pool and a shopping center round the corner which makes it very accessible. The motel is a bit out of the centre but very well connected to buses (10min from esplanade), for us it was ideal as close to a lot of outlet shops to kit out our van. We highly recommend travellers to book this motel as you get a true feel to the friendly nature of cairns. There's a tasty coffee shop next door (Koffeez) and a tasty thai restaurant attached to the motel. Brilliant stay!

Nice girl at counter, room away from road and seened great for money. Wdnt to cool off in pool, barely could see bottom which set off alarm as I spent years as dive instructor looking after our pool. Duting night roaches crawling roubd and something bit me as scrat ged till bleed. Only came up to buy some stuff and not wanted to drive back Ingham save say as I disabled veteran. Think lot people there long long term or subsudised which I accept and have sympathy for but not think would go back if they not do a bit hygiene. I used to live in holes I dug so not fussy, but they should be on top bugs and pool.

SCAM! The motel does not meet the pictures and advertised service on wotif or their website. Do yourself a favour and book another accommodation as this was one of the worst places I have seen. People live there full time and smoke all over the premises. The pool is disgusting and there is not bar or breakfast available like advertised. The staff is rude. DO NOT BOOK THIS ACCOMMODATION

Stayed 2 nights. The room was very clean and comfortable and larger than expected. Had little interaction with the staff but they were pleasant. DFO Complex down the road with Coles, cafes and retail shops. Cazaly's Sports club in the other direction and both walking distance. Lots of families with kids i the pool but no noise issues from where I was staying. Will stay again and I do recommend.

The rooms needs maintenance carried out, currently lacking terribly. Room presentation at first glance good but then things start coming to light, nothing major but little things that should be appearing. Am I fussy? No! but unless this issues are brought to the new managements attention they will not be fixed. Overall good place to stay, very central to everything.

The reception lady was nice. The property needs a lot of attention though. Pool area very blah. No bath mat, or face washer in room. No hairdryer. Shabby furniture and outdated grubby bathroom with last guests soap still on window sill. Blobs of dust on ceilings and walls. Just not great. Luckily i was only staying one night, or i would have gone elsewhere. Over priced for what is. The only thing i liked was the blockout curtains

We got there only to realise it was full of crisis housing occupants. There was a dispute unveiling as we got there which made us feel immediately unsafe. The pool was green and everything in the motel was outdated with a strong smell of cleaning products. We needed to check out due to a change in personal circumstances and organised a refund through the front desk and Wotif the night before and it was confirmed in writing that we could get a refund. Went to front desk the next morning to get the refund organised and was told that they couldnt which was opposite of what I was told and had in writing. Then was argued with about the refund and told the receptionist made a mistake. Was continually told I couldn’t get a refund, finally showed the chat notes and was able to get a refund. Rude and unprofessional staff, don’t know the laws around terms and conditions or how to honour the customer. Would not recommend this place.

The room was full of cockroaches and I left the room. The receptionist mentioned me I would get a refund for the half and never happened. After time I called back and the management told me was her first week working there and never heard something about it but she will check the situation to help me with the refund but definitely never happened. So disappointing.
