Sandcastle Motel Tin Can Bay. Queensland.

Official Partner

Sandcastle Motel is a family-run motel in Tin Can Bay, Queensland, offering comfortable, affordable accommodation in one of the Fraser Coast's most relaxed coastal towns. Run by the Smith family, the motel is ideally positioned for exploring the natural wonders of the Cooloola Coast — from the famous wild dolphin feeding at Barnacles Dolphin Centre to easy day trips to K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) and Rainbow Beach. You'll find the motel at 115 Tin Can Bay Road, conveniently situated where Trevally Street meets the main road into town — straightforward to locate whether you're arriving from Gympie or the coast. Secure parking is available for cars, boats, jet-skis, and four-wheel drives, and Tesla owners will appreciate the two on-site destination chargers (up to 22kW). A short stroll brings you to local restaurants, takeaway shops, a supermarket, and the marina — along with the dolphin feeding area at Norman Point where wild bottlenose dolphins visit each morning. The peaceful foreshore pathway, nearby parks and playgrounds, safe bike tracks, and birdwatching trails make Sandcastle Motel a wonderful base for families, couples, and solo travellers alike. Guests can relax by the pool, enjoy daily housekeeping, and connect with free Wi-Fi. The Tin Can Bay Country Club, with its championship 18-hole golf course and Friday night live entertainment, is just a short drive away — perfect for a leisurely meal after a day on the water. Tin Can Bay is approximately two hours north of Brisbane and 30 minutes east of Gympie, placing Sandcastle Motel within easy reach of some of the region's most celebrated natural attractions. Rainbow Beach — the southern gateway to K'gari — is just 35 minutes away, while the Cooloola National Park offers bushwalking, horse riding through the Cooloola Wilderness, and serene wetland scenery right on the doorstep.
