Blue Pelican Motel is a practical, centrally located accommodation option on Wharf Street in Tweed Heads, just south of the Queensland border. The property suits short stays for business, leisure, healthcare visits and travellers who want access to local services without relying entirely on a car. Its position places Tweed Heads Hospital, Tweed Day Surgery, Tweed Heads Bowls Club, Twin Towns Club, the Civic and Cultural Centre, the library and Tweed Mall within easy reach.

The motel offers a mix of ground-floor and upstairs units, including a ground-floor accessible unit. Rooms are designed for independent stays, with facilities that include air conditioning, heating, a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, electric kettle, tea and coffee-making equipment, television, bathroom amenities, a hairdryer and ironing facilities.

Blue Pelican Motel is pet friendly, with designated rooms available for guests travelling with one or more pets. A pet fee applies. The accommodation is close to everyday dining, with Thai, Chinese, pizza, fast food and cheesecake options available on the nearby block. The motel itself is presented as a quiet base rather than a restaurant destination, making the in-room kitchenette facilities useful for simple meals and refreshments.

The Tweed River is a short walk away, with a pathway extending towards Jack Evans Harbour, Twin Towns and the coastal lookouts around Point Danger. In the other direction, the route leads towards parks, quieter beaches and Tweed Marina and Harbour. Kirra, Coolangatta, Greenmount, Rainbow Bay, Snapper Rocks and Duranbah are also within the surrounding coastal area. Gold Coast Airport is about a five-minute drive away, while the Gold Coast theme parks are around 35 minutes by car.

With its combination of room facilities, free parking, WiFi, pet-friendly accommodation and access to the river, beaches, clubs, healthcare and shopping, the motel works for couples, families, business travellers and guests seeking a straightforward base around Tweed Heads and the southern Gold Coast.
