Tower Court Motel - adults only haven

Tower Court Motel is an adults-only motel at 460 Esplanade, across from Torquay Beach in Hervey Bay. It suits couples who want a quiet beachside base, with the caveat that it is a no-kids property and its dog policy is reported inconsistently across booking platforms, so it needs a direct confirmation before you commit.

Dogs at the Tower Court Motel

Here is the honest picture: one major booking platform lists the motel as no pets permitted, while 2026 booking listings describe pets allowed in a limited number of designated rooms, usually ground-floor units, requested in advance so a pet-friendly room is allocated before arrival. Fees may apply. Given the conflict between channels, call the motel directly, ask whether a dog can be allocated a ground-floor room, and get the fee and any rules in writing before you book. Do not assume a walk-in with a dog will be accommodated.

The vibe

Guests mention small kitchenettes, comfy beds, balconies and ocean views, a small pool, and a helpful host, with the beach an easy cross of the Esplanade. Adults-only means no families with children, which most guests book precisely for the quiet.

Getting there and out with the dog

The motel sits on the Hervey Bay Esplanade between Torquay and Scarness, about ten minutes from the airport and an easy drive to the Urangan pier end. The foreshore path runs the whole length of the bay for on-lead walks, and dogs have off-lead beach time nearby.

Walk the foreshore to the 24/7 off-leash dog beach at Urangan, then coffee at Bayaroma Cafe or brunch at Spotted Goat Kitchen, both in Torquay. Aquavue Beachfront Bar & Eatery sits right on the sand for a sunset feed, and 4 Pines X Boardriders is the easy dinner option nearby.
