Guest Reviews

• joel (10/5): - Bella mare is in quite location and walking distance fore shopping and dining and the beach is right across the street.
• Sergey (8/5): - So far just prize and location
• Akiko (4/5): - Great location for surfers. We decided to book the place based on photo images of unit on the website. But these images are heavily photo shopped and the unit we stayed was completely different - poorly lit room, old carpeted floor, just cheap flannel blanket for bed, etc. It is more like 2 star motel fit out. It is definitely not worth the money we paid for. If you are going to stay, make sure you get the accurate photo images of the room you are going to stay in.
• Rebecca (6/5): Average - The apartment was good and had everything we need. It was spacious and having a kitchen was great. The beds were very uncomfortable and we woke with sore backs everyday. They also advertised having a gym and sauna but you need a key to access these and with VERY limited reception hours we weren’t able to access these which was disappointing.
• Wendy (8/5): - Great location. Just difficult to navigate around with bags and steps.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing location - Visited with friends for 3 nights at Easter and had an absolutely wonderful time. The website doesn’t do this place justice. Perfect location, swimming pool area and outdoor cooking area were great and overall the perfect hotel for a relaxing break.
• Kean (10/5): - Absolutely great unit close to beach and shopping
• Janet (8/5): Location is fabulous ! - Unit was spacious, (2 bedroom). Plenty of room for three adults. Across the road from the beach and a 5 minute walk to shops and cinema.
• robert (8/5): - Close to shopping and dining.
• Greg (2/5): - We didn’t like the view of the new development and road outside our window!! The room was dark and depressing!! The cutlery was dirty We were changed from initial room into an inferior room and will never book through you again I tripped on hard to see door threshold and fell!! A horrible accomodation experience that spoilt our holiday
• ERIC (8/5): - The room was well equipped for self contained
• GiGi (10/5): - The Bella Maree has everthing you need to get ready for a good time. Whether it is exploring the local beaches or visiting the Surf Club for a refreshment or going for a Dance at Twin Towns which boasts wonderfull live entertainment and also has full coverage of Sport. The beach is a stone step away and the local retailers are good fun.
• Kamie (10/5): - very comfortable and relaxing stay excellent position walking distance to everything, including Tweed Mall. would definitely stay again
• Petar (8/5): - Very comfortable place to stay.
• Mardi (8/5): - Great appartment,but no elevator. 50 stairs to climb with heavy lluggage was no fun.
• Jennifer (10/5): - great location. great management
• Steven (8/5): - The pool & spa was great, so close to the beach & surf club
• Maria (10/5): - My stay was very comfortable and the staff being very helpful, courteous, obliging and had great knowledge of the area, cafes, restaurants and local sites ect ect. I will definitely be staying there again.
• sabrina (6/5): - Close to everything, but construction next door so quite noisy. The unit it tired looking and could do with an upgrade.
• carol (10/5): - everything from apartments to pool and property, You can park car walk to everthing
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location, friendly management, amenities/ bbq area always clean.
• Barbara (8/5): - We enjoyed the shaded pool and barbecue area, and that the complex had a locked gate, keeping children safe and away from traffic. We appreciated the flexibility of being able to check in early, and help with our luggage. Thank you!
• Stephen (8/5): Great Cooly location! - We found the location of the property to be excellent within close walking distance to beach, shops and clubs. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The property itself is starting to show its age but overall was comfortable enough. We teally enjoyed are break away for a few days.
• Sarah (10/5): - We couldn’t have had a better stay at Bella Mare apartments. Our apartment was lovely (and recently renovated). The on-site managers were friendly and helpful and the location was great. So close to both Cooloongatta and Rainbow Bay beaches and easy waking distance to all the shops and restaurants at Cooloongatta. We will definitely stay again!
• Simon (10/5): Great place for Families - This is a great property. Perfect location and everything you need for a great holiday. No AC in the bedrooms but it is so well insulated we only ever needed the fan. Washing machine and dryer are good to have but the dryer didn't work for us. Luckily we didn't really need it anyway. Also the wifi did not work... might be a problem for some but we didn't need it. I think they were getting it fixed but it didn't work for our whole stay. Great staff too. Thanks guys
• Grace (6/5): - Very old apartment, great location but worn carpet, broken blinds and light fixtures, plenty much better in that area!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly, informative check-in,seamless. Carparks available for extra cars, local advice re brekkie,dinner.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Ash and Sue were very warm and accommodating. We had such an amazing holiday.
• Jay (10/5): - Loved the place was much better than expected! The apartment was great, everything you could need and want in the apartment brilliant for familys wanting a great place to stay on holiday! Walking distance from everything! Beach, shops, restaurants!
• Verified traveler (4/5): Poorly managed - Kind staff. But property not managed well. Door knobs locking broken. Few light bulbs need to be replaced. No wifi connection. I just call the staff to fix foxtel. I cannot call them with other problems because there are too many. I think they should know guest who stay wouldn't like to report problems. Need to be proactive to find any problems of their property.
• Graeme (10/5): - Central to everything Well maintained Good communication
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Over all great location and for families. The room we were in just felt a little "tired".
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice place to stay my room was large so plenty of space, very clean and had everything you need It was close to the beach and plenty of places to eat or shop Would definitely start there again
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location, nice pool. Great communication re after hours check in.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - We Iove the location of Bellamare and this was our 4 year staying at this property. We always enjoy our stay here. D this time was no different however we were a little disappointed our room this year. Although it was on ground level and had great access to the pool the room itself was very dated and had minimal furniture and utensils for the kitchen compared to other rooms we’ve had, pipes were also extremely noisy. It will not deter us from staying again in this property as mentioned earlier the location is perfect for what we need.
• MelC (4/5): - The location is great and probably the only reason people stay here. The pool was ok but often cloudy and dirty. There were hardly any utensils or plates/dishes in the kitchen (nothing to use in the microwave??), there was active mould on the painted walls in the bathroom (which I’m sure is a health hazard) and they hardly left cleaning supplies/bags. If it wasn’t for the location we would have asked to move. Don’t stay here and definitely not in room 15!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location located close to Greenmount Surf Club
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Bella Mare had everything we wanted for a beachside family holiday.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Absolutely love the location of this resort. Park the car and forget it. Very nice, spacious units. Perfect for keen surfers with 4 different breaks within walking distance.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location. Very close to beach, playground and shops. Clean room in good condition. Everything we needed. Some travellers may like to know this is a walk-up building (no lift).
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Apartment was very tired, needed updating, have stayed there quite afew times before, use to be alot better. Kitchen was lacking, oven old, stain on sheets.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Convenient location, freshly renovated and value for money.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Bella Mare is in a perfect location- so close to the beach, parks and shops. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Overall great property and location, just gets loud on weekends. If you planning to party it’s fun, if resting with family can be annoying. Overall for the price, location and convenience very economical.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Apartments have plenty of room. But quite outdated.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location in Coolangatta, only negative was the three flights of stairs
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Great location. Pool facilities great & ideal for toddlers. Parking building great. Cleanliness not there, the 2 bedroom apartment we had was very tired & needs a good overhaul. Reception friendly & very helpful to us.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - It was a nice stay, but with three adults and only 1 hand towel between three amenities was a little tough. In need of a bit of TLC been like this for a long time, we stayed here for 6 weeks 15 years ago and nothing has changed. No air conditioner on the twin room and as it get morning sun stayed hot all day and night, the upstairs air conditioner wasn't strong enough to cope with the two bedrooms, was very hot and uncomfortable! But all pleasant, and close to everything we needed! Thank you.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Gardens , BBQ and pool area were very well kept. The apartment was large and airy and well furnished.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The lower floors make it easier to get in and out but of cause no views of the ocean.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Was comfortable and in a good area. Easy access to food and clubs.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Close to all we needed in our Coolangatta holiday. While the manager was efficient and told us all we needed to know, he wasn't welcoming as such.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Love the location,rooms comfortable! Only problem was the microwave was very dirty!!
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The plus- The property was well positioned with good access to beach. The unit was clean and tidy. The negative- reception area is not well signed and difficult to park to come and check in. The unit was a dated and in need of a makeover. Could hear noise from other units and pool area.
• Stephen (8/5): - Great location close to the beach, shops, surf clubs and restaurants. Has a nice pool and BBQ area and the rooms are of decent size. All round a good place to stay.
• Leni (4/5): - The property was not ready on time due to the carpets being shampooed. Check in was supposed to be at 2pm but we ould not go in until 4pm and the carpets were wet still. The air conditioner remote did not work and therefore the air conditioner could not be put on. The screen door to the balcony was jammed but luckily my partner fixed it. There was mould in the shower and the bin in the ensuite was not emptied. There was also a puddle of water on the floor in the kitchen which was leaking from the fridge. I paid $339 for one night and only received $30 refund for the inconvenience. The only good aspect was its proximity to the beach and shops.
• Dee (10/5): - Lovely. I’ll be back. Beautiful apartment with beautiful views and a beautiful cat sitting at reception.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The room we had was very large (townhouse style apartment 3 bedroom 2 bathrooms and 3 toilets) but it wasn’t cleaned to our standard or expectations (dirty couches / marks on walls / carpets all need a good steam clean) and it needed some minor fixing (ie door handles coming loose, no towel racks in 1 bathroom etc). Overall when we had an issue with the aircon the property manager was helpful and fixed our problems and the kids loved the good sized pool and heated spa! Great location - approx 50 metres from the beach and over the road from Greenmount Surf club. Grounds well maintained and undercover car park was handy!
• Susie (8/5): - Very clean split level apartment. Just across road from beach. Stairs only drawback. Would stay again.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Gym and sauna, excellent. Convient to get to. Pool and spa werr well maintained. They were able to assist us despitr us having an extra person on arrival. Happy to help yet left us to our own devices. Property was well maintained.
• Camilla (6/5): - The pool was the highlight but that’s where it’s ends. It doesn’t bother me that a room is a bit dated as long as it’s clean. This room was definitely not! We had to go buy cleaning products for the kitchen. Benches dirty, fridge dirty, microwave dirty. Bathroom mouldy and tapware grimy. Once we cleaned it it felt better. Washing machine broken and half filled with water. We told reception our concerns. Although the cleanliness situation was brushed off they did send someone straight away to look at the washing machine and this was replaced the next day.
• Leanne (8/5): Perfect possie facing the river - I had booked for the August birthdays in our family, plenty of room in our 2 story 3 bedroom/3 bathroom apartment for each couple to have their own privacy. Walking distance to everything the border towns has to offer. Easy walk to the river and the ocean, we all loved our stay.
• Jodi (8/5): - Was a great size apartment in a really good location
• Kym (10/5): - We loved the location. Comfortably sized apartment, clean.
• WeLoveHolidays (2/5): DISAPPOINTING. - Pros: Excellent location, close to all facilities. Secure parking. Cons: Charged twice, even after I told owner we already paid and showed him the receipt! Still waiting on refund a week later. Hair dryer not working. No doonas on beds, only sheets. Filthy dirty carpet/walls/hand railing. No mattress protectors on beds. No toilet paper. Cockroaches in bedroom. No views. NO LIFT. LOTS OF STAIRS. Manager offered a 15% refund on next stay after several emails. Would not recommend staying here, not like photos advertised unfortunately.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Close to beach - Lovely pool/bbq area and gardens Walking distance to shops and beach Unfortunately there is no lift
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Suited our purpose entirely and well.positioned to cafes beach eyc
• Jackie (8/5): Very spacious, clean and affordable. - Great stay. Close to everything. Very clean. Will definitely stay again.
• Bill (10/5): Roomy Apartments Close to Beach - We stayed in a well-appointed 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the BBQ/pool area. The furniture was modern and comfortable. We were able to walk the 50m to the beach each morning and then return for breakfast. We could then take off by public transport to the various Commonwealth Games venues. There are shopping centres within walking distance, as well as restaurants, bars, clubs and cafes. We were able to park our car in the secure underground carpark. The common areas were kept clean including daily cleaning of the BBQ area. We had a great time staying there and we all agreed we would come back there.
• Gen (8/5): Good Location. - This is an OK place. The unit was clean but aged and had problems with outside veranda door locking ( ground floor unit) and TV not working. Don’t enter through the garage as dirty laundry in stairwell etc. was a turn off. Much better vibe entering through main section with nice plants/pool. Would stay again as the unit itself was ok and in a great location but be aware it is definitely only 3-3.5 stars with reception only available 9-5.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Well appointed apartments in a great location - The hotel is in a fantastic location - a hundred meters from the main beach, and a few minutes walk to to the point and rock pools + additional beaches. Very close to the main street/shopping/meals; we were able to walk everywhere. We were at the rear of the hotel which was very quiet; my only note of caution might be if you were at the front of the hotel the pub across the road could be loud (hence 4/5). Pool etc was very nice and the rooms were large, clean and comfortable. Fast wifi included which was a definate bonus. Will happily return.
• Clare (10/5): Nice and very close to our favourite beach. - Was a very handy position to the beach, shops and bus stop. Spacious unit and quiet even though we were in a unit facing the street. Friendly and helpful staff. The pool was lovely and warm. We will definitely stay there again.
• Jeremy (8/5): Pleasant enough would probably stay again - Pro's - The managers were very pleasant and seemed to be working hard all weekend to keep the grounds tidy. Pool area and grounds was nice Location is great Cons - The rooms and stairwell smelt a bit stale Some of the kitchen utensils weren't the cleanest Beds weren't overly comfortable
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location, handy to main shopping strip and restaurants.
• FRANCES (8/5): - THE APARTMENTS WERE IN AN IDEAL POSITION FOR BOTH THE SURF CLUB AND THE RSL CLUB THE TWIN TOWNS. BOTH AND EXCELLANT MEALS, THE RSLCLUB IS A LOVELY CLUB WITH SEVERAL DIFFERENT RESTUARANTS TO SUIT ANY TIME OF DAY. THE SHOPS WERE ALSO IN EASY WALKING DISTANCE, WE DIDN'T USE THE CAR ONCE WE ARRIVED. A VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a wonderful weekend. Neat spacious unit in a secure quiet complex. My boys and I walked to the beach everyday and swam in the pool daily. Great coffee around the corner, parks and stunning walk along the coastline.
• mary (10/5): Excellent all round - Relaxing, spacious room close to beach restaurants. Everything we needed - kitchen laundry 2 bathrooms. Pool & spa. Loved it!
• Katrina (8/5): Great stay but very loud! - Only 10mins drive from airport. Super close to shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. 1 minute walk to beach. Out 2 bedroom apartment was clean and very spacious. Reception lady was really polite and friendly. She gave great restaurant recommendations. The only negative was it the apartments are directly across from a backpackers which is VERY loud. We stayed Fri, Sat and Sun nights and we were kept awake by blaring music and drunk people until around 3 am each night. The backpackers has an outside bar which is about 20m from the apartments so you can hear all the noise. The massive amounts of night noise would definitely prevent us from staying there again. Such a shame as that is the only negative bit it is a massive negative.
• Ana (8/5): Great place to stay - It was clean and tidy. It had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Close proximity to beach, restaurants, shops.
• Bryan (8/5): Good spot - Great sized room and great ammeneties. Really enjoyed the most part. Downsides, ground level room which was quite noisy due to nightlife and local boy racers and invited friends over for BBQ but unable to cook our meal on the BBQ as they were not working. Overall a very nice place and pool is great for the kids.
• Cathy (4/5): very noisy at night - beds uncomfortable and apartment wasnt very clean ensuite shower dripped
• William (10/5): - Clean & comfortable, convienient walk to shops & pool very clean & comfortably heated. Manager helpful & friendly, quite location with lovely view of tweed river, would be happy to recommmend to family & friends
• Xanthe (10/5): Highly recommended family holiday. - Loved it! Our stay was fabulous and we loved every aspect and every moment. Would definitely go back.
• Verified traveler (2/5): great location terrible accommodation, - old tvs and dvd players crammed into cupboards, sagging old old mattress old décor, rubbishy old couch should be donated to the salvos, ran out of toilet paper first day and told to go buy our own, same with rubbish bags, after 7 days told to clean our room or there would be additional charges, overall terrible accommodation for the dollars spent could have stayed somewhere much better, but due to school holidays nothing available for the group.
• kylie (8/5): Great location, - 3 night weekend stay with 3 teanage boys who loved being able to walk to various surfing beaches as well as into Coolangatta. Rooms were spacious and well equipped with what we needed.
• Didi (8/5): Convenient location, accept bookings any tiime - Everything organised when we arrived, light and airy accommodation
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fantastic location, pool, beach and restaurants - We had a great holiday, everything was close walking distance. 2 bed room apartment had heaps of room great for kids. 2 bath! We will visit again.
• Stephen (6/5): - Was good. Great location next to the beach.
• David (8/5): Relaxing week in Tweed. - Very good size rooms (except 2nd bedroom), well appointed & nice décor. Minor irritations that TLC & maintenance could fix, i.e. leaking dishwasher, clothes drier not shutting off on timer, oven filthy dirty, panels missing from vertical drapes & dining table very wobbly (I fixed it). Be sure to get rooms not facing the road & remember, the higher you go the more stairs to climb.
• samantha (8/5): - Second time staying here. Enjoyed our stay but room could have been a little cleaner. Won't deter us from coming again.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Good position - Was in a great position and the pool was nice, people and residents were friendly but our room stunk like wee and the bathrooms hadn't been cleaned very well, no toiletries at all bar soap and no toilet paper. Otherwise it was nice and big and beds were comfy.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Perfect Location - ticked all the boxes, easy convenient and no fuss.
• Lynda (4/5): Please do not stay in Unit 8. - This unit is directly on a busy street with road noise and people passing day and night. I had hoped to have a quiet few days away and could not wait to get out. The bed was terrible, I woke with a sore back and had to sleep in the single bed in the 2nd bedroom. The lounge was smelly and dirty, I had to put a sheet on to sit on. This unit needs a complete update and should not be let out as is. When I left, I told the lady who said what a shame she could have done something about it, but unfortunately when I originally booked she was not friendly and I felt she was not approachable.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Reasonable accommodation near beach - Room nice size and all conveniences available. No ocean view but very close to beach and shops clubs. Room had a wet smell that wasn't nice. Staff great.
• Rhianon (8/5): Nice hotel, well situated - Nice resort with great pool and gardens well situated by the beach and short walk to shops and cafes, supermarkets, surf clubs, RSL and buses. Staff were very helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying again.
• Kate (10/5): Highly recommended - We arrived at 10am and they accommodated an early check-in with zero fuss. The 2BR apartment was sparkling, well appointed, kitchen was clean with toaster, m/wave, oven, kettle, tons of flatware, cutlery, serving platters and storage containers, MANY spare blankets and pillows. Helpful and genuinely nice staff at reception, I scored a great rate on a ticket for the animal sanctuary that they booked for me and then simply charged to the room. Pool and hot tub are pristine, and the grounds are genuinely as awesome as their internet pictures show! Smalls like extra loo paper, kitchen towels and laundry soap can be purchased at reception for those who forget to bring their own. We absolutely loved our stay!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - We were fortunate to be upgraded and our accommodation exceeded our expectations!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - just wonderfully close to everything. the fishing was great lovely weather even for winter. well priced for school holiday time
• Glen (8/5): Nicely kept premises and surrounds. - I've stay here before and had no problems. This time in a one bedroom unit. Because these units are privately owned this unit does need an update. The little things need attention and some small major ones. The managing staff were great and friendly but could only do what they could to rectify any problems. The rooms are very spacious, which is surprising given if they presented better they would be an absolute delight. Especially when you need to use the unit when some of the days we spent inside because of the weather or just wanted to relax. This could be a good unit and I would stay at Bella Mare again because it is a nice location.
• Linda (4/5): Cleaning and Comfort - We were in Unit 32 which has lovely view down to the Pool BBQ area which is nice. BUT the unit needed attention, Lounge suite was in terrible condition, Oven was filthy, when turned on the room filled with smoke. The overall unit is in desperate need of a repaint and some up to date furniture. The lamps beside the bed badly needed a dust and there was Mold in the Bathrooms. On leaving, Unit 15 had its door open and we looked in to an imaculate unit with lovely furniture, making us feel quite envious. Overall it was a nice place to stay but not sure I would go back as having a clean comfortable holiday is important.
