The great majority of guests to the Mandurah Quay Resort (MQR), are families with young children. Most of the activity takes place around the 22m pool and the spa bath. There is also a large playing field for volleyball, ball games and dog exercise. At times the children can be noisy but no more than one would expect. MQR is splendidly situated just a few miles south of central Mandurah and within walking distance of the Peel Inlet and numerous bush walks. My wife and I were not typical guests. Whereas most families stayed for only two or three nights and were comparatively local we were newly arrived from the UK and were staying for four weeks. We were therefore initially disappointed that there was no room safe. Clearly however this would be unnecessary for most guests. Our upstairs apartment was very spacious, clean and well equipped. We had a pleasant balcony with views over the pool and the playing field. Because so many guests do not stay long there is a quick turnover and we learned to take advantage of this by timing our swims around midday when many had checked out. We had a weekly cleaning service which was always first class. We would have liked some cushions especially for the balcony chairs although we understand that like a few other items they do go “missing”. Our main disappointment was the gym. It was one of the main reasons we booked MQR. We feel that is in the wrong position right up close to the pool. It would be better sited further away on the large playing area. This would have two advantages. It would discourage children wandering into the gym and risking injury. It would also enable the pool surround to be upgraded with perhaps some artificial grass and more loungers. This of course would involve significant capital expenditure. Less radical would be the provision of air conditioning in place of the fan and the replacement of much of the very old equipment. If absolutely nothing else is done a weights rack could be provided which might help to keep the free weights tidier. No mention of MQR would be complete without paying tribute to Naomi and Damien who manage the complex. They are so efficient, professional, and pleasant that the owners are very fortunate to have them on site. We enjoyed our four weeks so much that we have already booked for next year.

I booked to stay for one night, but extended it by another night, would probably have stayed a third if commitments had allowed-which is pretty much a recommendation in itself. I'm retired and travel alone if that's useful to know The accommodation is basic but has everything you need for a base to explore from. I can't stress enough how extremely clean it was, with attention to detail. If you want thick carpets and 4* luxury this isn't for you but if you're looking for an ideal location, with plenty of nice bars and cafes nearby but also within easy walking distance, along the foreshore to the boardwalk and marina, it's ideal-and affordable The shower was good, lots of hot water and a full-size fridge was a nice discovery. The bed was very comfortable, I slept extremely well. Noise does travel and it was possible to hear people in other rooms-but not enough to be a problem. The WiFi was a little unpredictable -(but it's free) but as you head towards the boardwalk area there is Mandurah WiFi available to log on to. If you want to cut costs there's a lovely Vietnamese bakery a few streets along that does takeaway sandwiches, salads, pies, etc, and a fabulous range of cakes and pastries, all very reasonably priced. There's also a bottleshop directly opposite the motel and Woolworths not far away, all within walking distance. I didn't use the small pool at the motel but it looked very clean and had chairs and loungers around it. The manager was helpful and it's possible to leave a small case if you arrive before check-in. Getting there is easy- I travelled by train then hopped on the circular bus and got off at the stop directly outside the motel. I will be returning!

Room was clean. Bed was big and comfortable. We had a balcony and lovely views. TV was small to the side of the bed, which was a little awkward. Shower large. Iron, safe in the cupboard. The Sebel doesn't have own parking, but has free always parking opposite.

We have stayed here 5 or 6 time, love the location, the rooms are spacious a few marks on the carpet but seriously no issue, we always have a marina view room and love it. Check in staff are friendly too. Will definately be returning.

Fabulous stay in a deluxe two bed apartment. Everything that we needed Staff were fantastic and super helpful. Kids loved the pool Will stay again as the hotel is perfect for the many events we attend in Mandurah

I spent 2 nights here sharing a one bedroom apartment ( twin beds ) with a friend. We had a good view from the 5th floor. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed ( self contained ) Comfortable beds and awesome rain head shower and spa bath. The pool area look like it would be a great place to hang out in the summer time… easy beach access too.

We have a yearly visit to Mandarah as my granddaughters love it there and have stayed at other resorts. This year we chose the Mandarah motel and apartments as the photos look great , especially the pools, which the girls love. On our first day there we went to the pool, there was no one else there and the girls were enjoying a swim. A woman came over and chatted, she did not introduce herself, but seems like a member of staff , and was wearing some badge on a lanyard, she was basically giving us a pep talk about pool etiquette and behaviour, ie no jumping in, no swearing, considerations of other guests, I didn’t have a issue with this as I don’t like bad behaviour , we followed advice and the girls did not once jump in the pool. We enjoyed our first day and evening, however the 2 nd evening there was a party in the apartment adjoining ours. We were unable to sit outside as our outside area was next to the party, loud music and drinking which went on until midnight, then continued inside the apartment with arguing and swearing until 3 am. We did notify staff around 9 pm, not as a complaint at that time , but asked if there was another apartment as we had children, unfortunately there wasn’t . I then advised staff and manager when we checked out in the morning, also there was a party in the day which isn’t a problem however we were unable to use the facilities tennis / crazy golf, then the party in the evening together ruined our 2 nd day , had we not have been travelling from overseas I’d have put the girls in the car and left . The manager did however tell us that the women who was giving us behaviour advice had no right to !!!! people / kids are expected to have fun in the pool. She wanted us to write a email about this , she was more concerned about the women giving advice then the party / noise / swearing until 3 am. On top of this I happened to move the cushion on the sofa and there was so much filth underneath. On a positive note the pool is lovely, the location is great, and we love Mandarah, would we stay at the motel and apartments again NO !!! Sorry guys

Great location close to boardwalk facilities, beach and shops. Very clean and well kept toilets, showers and laundry. Great bbq area. Loved the friendly staff and long term residents. Felt very safe. Myself and others had belongings left out overnight without issue. Park is doing ongoing upgrades and improvements and it shows. Would recommend.
