Guest Reviews

• Louise (10/5): -
• Paul (8/5): - Great place to stay right next to the beach. No sink plugs and no iron and ironing board
• Roger (10/5): -
• Stephen (10/5): Wonderful - Location and parking
• stephen (7/5): Great foe a short stay. - Location. Not too much. The positive of location came with noise from deliveries and other services.
• Michelle (9/5): Beautiful location. - Everything was close to the apartment. A little noisy but to be expected over NYE
• Jacqueline (8/5): - Beach view and walking distance to restraunts and shops. As this unit is individually owned, we found a bit of a delay in responding to our inquiry.
• peter (10/5): -
• Suzy Larisa (8/5): I’m very satisfied with the overall of the apartment. - Close proximity to the beach and eateries. Home style amenities in the unit. Insufficient personal care products such as body wash, hand wash etc…
• Ann (10/5): -
• Zoe (9/5): -
• Travel Bags (10/5): The apartment was an absolute delight. Well maintained, furnished and appointed. Excellent location. - Due to a malfunction with my Mobile Phone, we did not receive the information on where to collect the apartment keys on arrival. We traveled to Sandcastle apartment block directly. On arrival the receptionist at Sandcastles apartment block made out that she had no idea who "First Holidays" were and did not know where their office was situated in Mooloolaba. Extremely unhelpful to say the very least. One would expect that the official Managment office of Sandcastles Apartment would be fully aware that unit 307 was managed and let by "First Holidays"
• Nigel (7/5): - Location No early entry & confusing arrangement between Booking.com and property manager. Not advised when the property was available to enter.
• O'Donnelly (9/5): -
• Dan (10/5): -
• Sharon (10/5): Wonderful long weekend - Great location and had everything we needed. Spacious unit that can suit longer stays. Kitchen was very handy. Bed was very comfortable. View was exceptional. Hassel fee key pick up and drop off with great communication with the friendly lady at the office. It was a special weekend to spread my Mum's ashes at Mooloolaba Beach. Drinks toasting Mum on the balcony overlooking the beach was the highlight. Highly recommend and will likely return. Bathroom a little outdated.
• sandra (7/5): Great position - The block of appartments were very attractive but the appartment we booked was not completely set up to relax. 3 very small draws and 2 cloth hangers so we had clothes around on things where we lived. One desert spoon and bits and pieces to live without eating takeways The set up of appartment. Eg one towel per person. Minimal draws for clothes for a 5 night stay. Set up for one night one person maybe. So we needed our clothes on chairs near c where we set. Appartment block was great but not these booked by outside agent. Greasy toasties cooker and old soap left in shower show back of checking
• cherylanne (9/5): -
• Sue (6/5): -
• Julie (8/5): Fantastic location. We'll be back. - It was a bit tricky to find the after hours lockbox.
• megan (5/5): - Location was excellent. Close to beach and shops and restaurants Small and cozy. Sooo noisey. Road and beach noise during the night. Heard the waves crashing all night and all windows and doors and curtains were closed. Had awful trouble connecting to wifi. Dropping out here and there. Room needs updating.
• Greg (1/5): Disastrous and very disappointing. The airbnb issue was shocking. - We had very poor communication on confirmation of the booking and how to get into the unit . It ended up being so long before we had information about the booking confirmation and then where to pick the keys up that we had thought we didn’t get the booking and booked somewhere else. We were then charged for this unit and did not stay in it !!!!

• Craig (9/5): Great View - Nil Nil
• Amanda (9/5): Superb -
• Anjay (7/5): Good - Location is great, Was cleaned apartment. TV in the bedroom wasn't working. When I went to pick the keys up I was 15 minutes earlier than the check-in time lady asked me how can I help I said picking up the keys she said check-in time is at 3pm so I said okay will come back in 15 minutes. She could have said same thing in a better way.
• Kylie (8/5): Very good -
• Bruce (9/5): Couples retreat - The location and views from the apartment were outstanding. Not that we didn't like it, but the apartment was smaller than expected but fine for a couple. The unit was a little dated but as before brilliant for location and views.

• Jackson (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maher (8/5): Very good - I loved the view and the good choices of shops and restaurants in the area. It was a very relaxing holiday.
• Stephanie (2/5): Worst night sleep at a hotel for that amount of money - The view was amazing Bed was hard as rock, pillows were very old, old tv that had no paid tv ie Netflix, property reeked of bleach which took over 3 hours for the smell to dissipate
• Cheryl (10/5): Exceptional - Location was excellent. Apartment was the perfect size for two. Views were great. Close to beach. Close to so many options to eat.
• Kathleen (5/5): Needs update - Proximity to main street and wharf Window let in too much noise. Bed could do with an update, not enough coffee sachets. Note this is not a review on sandcastles but just my room, sandcastles on site managers helpful despite room not booked through them
• Jeffrey (8/5): Very good -
• Kevin (7/5): Holiday was great but lack of Wi-Fi was a real frustration - Location is great. Apartment very clean and tidy No Wi-Fi in the apartment is really not good enough. there is public Wi-Fi at Mooloolaba but it is very unstable in the apartment. The apartment is old and tired.
• Kodey (8/5): Perfect for a weekend - Great location, great views Loud at night and outdated utilities
• Wayne (8/5): Very good -
• Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - Location is great right next to the beach and shops. Had everything we needed and was clean. Great stay for a couple. Everything was within walking distance. Loved our stay would stay again. Nothing.
• Daleon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Patrick (8/5): ok -
• Ben (8/5): Very good -
• Jonathon (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sue (8/5): Great location, easy access to everything. - Great location Took us half an hour to try to find a park and then walking in the dark to find an old flag outside a residence so we could get the key.
• Allie (9/5): Superb -
• Alastair (7/5): A good apartment in a great position but with some annoying aspects - Very good location and a large apartment with ocean view The issue of picking up and dropping off the keys was a nuisance and a waste of holiday time on a short stay. Also the minuscule amount of toiletries and washing up requirements was also annoying requiring purchase of same and throwing most of it away or being forced to carry it. This is annoying and surely the cost impact to the business of providing this is similarly miniscule
• Jenna (7/5): Good -
• Annette (8/5): Very good -
• Anthony (9/5): As an older couple the unit offered everything that we required and the location meant we could park - Excellent location. Really suited our needs. Very comfortable bed. Would definitely used Sandcastles again. Maybe some of the furniture could be updated. The table was an appropriate size for the unit but the surface was quite damaged and we couldn’t get the extension leaves to lock into place.
• Rob (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kristian (7/5): Good location - Good location Careful with the underground carpark, there's a crack on the cement above the carpark that seeps water which is a bit acidic and has stained the glass on our car
• Suzanne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ann (10/5): Exceptional - Location and accommodating staff Nil
• Robert (10/5): Restfull break - Excellent Apartment with great sea views. Good access and secure parking. No WiFi -I did have our own pocket WiFi, but did note that the Resort has an internet server, and wonder whether this can be arranged this apartment - maybe at some additional- cost?
• Craig (8/5): Very good - Position and view Spa is outdated and not relaxing at all.
• Jodie (9/5): Superb -
• Ashleigh (8/5): Very good -
• Bruce (7/5): Good - Surf club aircon too noisy Bedroom windows not sealed and noisy
• Karen (8/5): Enjoyed our stay after the initial problem with gaining entry - The location overlooks the main beach behind the Surf Life Saving Club. Private balcony Accessing the keys to the property was difficult. We didn’t know the town and we had to find parking and then find the property agent on the Esplanade. The staff member there was unhelpful. She assumed that we knew the area. She also said she would contact us by phone or sms when the room was ready to move in. We received no message at all and we obtained access with good help from the Sandcastles reception team. When we checked out we again had to find parking before returning the keys to the property agent. The staff member this time was more helpful and concerned with our previous situation.
• Brett (10/5): Exceptional -
• Wendy (6/5): Yes we would stay here again. Loved being so close to the beach and restaurants - Good location very easy walk everywhere. Very noisy from the Surf Club dealing with early morning deliveries and cleanups A more comfy bed. Otherwise apartment had everything we needed
• Deidre (8/5): Very good -
• Stephen (8/5): Very good -
• Wendy (10/5): Exceptional apartment in every way - location, size, sunlight, view, balcony, bed comfort &bathroom - This apartment was bigger than I imagined. We loved the lay out for something not large in m2 it has an excellent floor plan. It was beautifully clean, the bed was ultra comfortable. I wish this apartment was my own. The balcony and natural light it gets is lovely and an amazing view which I also wasn't expecting to be so amazing. Car parking was easy. Everything was easy and congrats on nothing missing or broken. I'll be staying here again if I have the chance to go to Mooloolaba again. There is NOTHING I didnt like
• Vanessa (7/5): Good -
• Kevin (7/5): Good - Close to the beach and restaurants. Noise early in the mornings and sometimes at night due to the closeness of the surf club. Taps and shower head were leaking.
• Fabiola (8/5): Very good -
• Jamie (8/5): Very good -
• Estelle (8/5): Very good 😀 - View & position
• Joanne (10/5): Great location and views - great location, clean - suited our needs perfectly.
• Lisa (8/5): Enjoyable and great access to all shops, venues and beach. - Had a lovely view, close to shops, cafes and beachfront Was quite noisy, been so close to the surf club, heard the garbage truck and workmen quite early in the mornings. Was left only 1 garbage bag in the bin, had to buy more as well as dishwashing detergent and clothes detergent. Ran out of hot water, my husband and I had to take a shower 30 mins apart.
• Lynley (9/5): Fantastic location!! Beach and restaurants were fantastic!! - I had trouble finding the real estate agent with the locked box, but Larah came out and helped me. She was delightful and I couldn't have done it without her! The beach was perfect - soft sand, good waves, easy to walk, lovely! And it was right across from our apartment! The Surf Club was disappointing
• Sandy (7/5): Great - Air con didn't work Sensor tab took ages to work
• Debra (10/5): An excellent place to stay within walking distance to everything. - We had a lovely view of the ocean which I didn't expect. The supply of tea. There was plenty of coffee.
• Louise (9/5): Superb -
• Annette (8/5): it was as lovely unit in great location, just needed to update dining settings - location was wonderful. needed a decent outdoor dining setting so you could eat in balcony.
• Zoe (8/5): Very good -
• Valentin (6/5): Mooloolaba - Sandcastles S-E view - The view from the balcony and the fact that you can have this view also from inside the apartment (living room, bathroom, bedroom) is very-very nice! This view sells the property. Good position! Also, I like that there was a good amount of pillows and they were nice. Love ❤️ the bedsheets and linen were professionally cleaned. The kitchen is well equipped, and there are plenty of glases, cutlery, dishes, frying pans. No oven and dishwasher, though. But the microwave has oven functions. We had to clean the place before unpacking: there was hair (long white/blonde hair) everywhere, on the couch, on the cushions, on the carpet, on the floor: disgusting! The dust on the fan was 3-5 mm high - when I turned it on, it was a mess everywhere on the bed, I started sneazing... then I had to clean it. The balcony was full of sand... and I know the wind brings sand, but it was obviously not cleaned for weeks. I could see the difference after I did the cleaning and remained clean for our 4 days' stay. There was not a drop of dish washing liquid in the container, so I had to go and buy. The water tap in the bathroom was faulty, dripping all the time; it could not be tuned off regardless of how much we tried to tighten it. What a waste of water! There were no spare bin liners for the rubbish. There is very little space in the cupboard for clothes, and it's definitely not enough for a couple. The tap and shower are outdated (probably from the 80s when it was built). No flexibile cord for shower. The bed is very small, I think it is double size - too small for a couple, so we had to use the sofa bed, which was extremely uncomfortable.
• Barbara (9/5): Superb -
• Chris-alicia (7/5): Great View and spot, amenities need TLC. - excellent views hot water shower ran out all the time
• Lisa (8/5): lovely location and easy to get everywhere. wish we had more time. - the view the location the parking all great the sofa bed sort of sink down the middle a bit.
• Michelle (8/5): Very good -
