Tessa's on the Beach

Location and staff

No microwave or bowls, plates or cutlery

Beachfront! The bed was heaven! Bike rentals was great to explore north and south.

Nothing I could think of

Very comfortable bed, great location. Friendly staff

Very thin walls, could hear everything next door. Could hear the planes taking off.

Location right on beach and very quiet chilled. Old retro style appeals. Facilities like the bar at front was welcome addition

Happy with everything. Staff welcoming and friendly

Right opposite the beach! It was a clean room with some thoughtful touches like decent sized cups, coffee bags and twinnings tea. The towels were soft and the linen was a good quality.

It was a bit of a walk to the cafes and shops.

Great location close to airport and right on the beach. 30 min walk along the esplanade to Kirra or tugun. Very clean and beautiful pool!

The location is fantastic — right on the beach with a beautiful boardwalk that stretches for kilometres in both directions, making it perfect for long walks and enjoying the coastline. Unfortunately, the weather during my stay was quite awful, so I didn’t get the chance to fully enjoy all the facilities the property offers. Parking was convenient and easy, which is always a bonus. The rooms appear very new and are nicely decorated. I stayed in a beachfront room which was lovely, with a comfortable lounge area that made it easy to sit back and enjoy the view. Overall, a great location and a well-presented property for the area.

The pool area overlooks the car park, so the outlook isn’t particularly appealing and feels quite open. It may have seemed worse during my stay because of the bad weather. Also worth noting that if the weather is poor, there isn’t covered access between the rooms and the main reception/bar area, so you will get wet walking back and forth.
