Holloways Beach Laundromat

24/03/2026

One thing that's consistent with owning a laundromat is the upkeep!

A lot of our time is spent removing foreign objects from coin acceptors, rescuing crumpled notes from note acceptors (yeh, scrunch that $5 note up - what could possibly go wrong???), sanitizing washing machines and wiping up excess laundry powder which didn't make it into the washer (one scoop is enough!!!!).

Herbert the dryer didn't quite make it to it's next scheduled maintenance, with the coin mech being replaced, keypad fixed and exhaust fan needing a good clean and tune.

The test run was HOT.

Huge thanks to FNQ's most incredible ATM tech who managed to get our machine going this morning! We're back online!

Let's welcome back Penelope the Primus! That service was a bit quicker than we thought it would be. Love it when things go well!

Almost hump day at the laundromat and we've already replaced the drive belt (and seized idler pulley) on the squeaky white washer.

Tomorrow we'll be starting a major repair on the grey washer to replace the worn out suspension. It's a pretty big job, so Penelope the Primus may be out of service for up to three days. Please keep clear of the fenced off area while we work!

We're still working towards installing the new-to-us large dryer (aptly named Tiny) but a road block is holding us up. It won't be too long until Tiny is ready to rumble!

Did we mention that we're doing a bit of moving around to fit in another dryer? Hang tight, we'll be finished soon!

Dear Google,

Yes we own Holloways Beach Laundromat, and yes the video we took to verify that was legit.

Yes, we have an ATM in our Laundromat.

Yes, we are trying to change the business hours listed on Google to 5:30am to 10:30pm.

You keep telling us our verification is not good enough, but we can't contact anyone to help you get this sorted out.

We're tired of dealing with Google's issues.

Regards,

A small business owner who is sick to death of Google.

It's a great week! Two public holidays at either end, Thai Spicy Dish reopened last night and SPAR Holloways Beach reopens their big store later this week?! Holloways, we're full go!

(Rumour has it there's a Mother's Day market at Holloways Beach on May 11th too!)

PSA - Pillows don't go in washing machines (or dryers either!!).

If this was your pillow, please send us your address. We'd like to return it. It only took us an hour or so to clean out the remnants and we have to repair the pump etc .....
