Tin Can Bay Motel
Official PartnerTin Can Bay Motel is a peaceful garden retreat on Mitchell Street, offering 12 air-conditioned rooms across one acre of manicured grounds in the heart of this much-loved Cooloola Coast village. **Your ideal base for the Cooloola Coast, K'gari (formerly Fraser Island) and Rainbow Beach, the motel sits just a short stroll from the waterfront with easy access to the region's best natural highlights.** Norman Point — home to one of Queensland's most cherished wildlife experiences — is just 3 km away, where wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins wade into the shallows each morning to be fed, typically between 7.00 am and 8.30 am. After your morning with the dolphins, you can hire a dinghy to explore Snapper Creek, follow the 4 km Foreshore Bird Walk (over 137 species have been recorded along the route), or head 31 km east to Rainbow Beach to take on the Coloured Sands, Double Island Point lighthouse, and the surf school. For K'gari day-trippers and overnight explorers, Inskip Point — where the barge departs for the island — is a short drive from the motel. On-site parking caters well for guests arriving with boats, camper trailers, and 4WDs, so you can pull in, unpack, and be island-ready first thing in the morning. Back at the motel, 12 well-appointed rooms come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TV, and air-conditioning. The secluded pool and garden BBQ area are yours to enjoy at the end of an active day on the Cooloola Coast. Family rooms are available, and the town centre is just two minutes by car. Tin Can Bay sits roughly 219 km north of Brisbane — around two and a half hours by road — and about 71 km south of Maryborough, placing it conveniently along a Fraser Coast road trip itinerary. Gympie is the closest large town, approximately 57 km to the west via the Bruce Highway.
