Guest Reviews
- Melissa (10/5): Perfect place to stay for a day or a month. Great facilities great location - Location and quietness
- Kristy (9/5): -
- Robyn (8/5): - The size of the apartment
Location The carpet in the lift was old and needs replacing
- Benjamin (9/5): -
- Walden (9/5): - Location was excellent, great cafe in complex. Walking distance to a lot of places. Only the stairs were a bugger.
- Russell (10/5): Best accommodation - Better value than any other accommodation I've experienced. Great views, amenities. The Cafe is superb as are the rooms. No complaints
- Heather (8/5): No lift however we didn’t need one so it was suitable for us - Was in a great location No lift
- Joanne (9/5): - We recieved a warm welcome at reception and lots of information about the local area. Room was clean and well maintained
- Hamish (8/5): Easy - Location - easy and beautiful 30min walk to Main Street.
Great little bar and restaurant at front.
If you’re into kitesurfing or kids need to learn you cannot fault location. Straight out the front door. All good
- Sharon (7/5): Great location but behind the times in terms of decor and no wifi - The location is excellent, as is the pool I think we all have an expectation of free WIFIin 2026 so it was a shock to find that it is not available. Also, the car park was too difficult to get in and out of.
- Joanne (10/5): Lovey place to stay staff very friendly would stay there again - Great place to stay clean great view very quiet close to everything
- Sandra (8/5): We enjoyed our stay in a great location and the quality of our room matched the price point. - Fantastic location close to shops and right on the beach. The pool and gardens were just beautiful and the cafe was so convenient with great food and great opening hours. Our room was dated and dark. While it was reasonably clean, the couch looked worn and dirty and I wiped dust off the coffee table.
- Emma (9/5): -
- Guest (9/5): -
- Tracey (7/5): Easter break - Handy and quiet location Walking the stairs but we knew there were stairs when we booked
- DEBRA (8/5): -
- Lynda (9/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): -
- Yvonne (8/5): - The pool was great. Location next to the coast and boardwalk, and near shops was great. Designated undercover parking spot was useful. The undercover parking was a bit of a rabbit warren and the numbering was a little weird but once we found our designated spot it was all good. A lift for getting bags up and down would be nice as three flights of stairs was a mission. Our room was older but still acceptable for the price.
- Katherine (10/5): - Great location, lovely view. Pool and spa facilities are great. Staff = great service.
- Helen (9/5): -
- Janet (7/5): - The bed was very comfortable. The position was good. View was good. Local shops for basics were good. Way too many stairs. No tissues provided and the toiletries provided were not good. We had to check in earlier than expected as Reception was closing at 4.30 p.m.
- Craig (7/5): - No internet
- Kyrah (10/5): - View All the stairs to where your apartment is.
- Alun (8/5): -
- Diane (8/5): -
- Kate (9/5): A relaxing three nights. - Advice re building and restaurants nearby. Clean and comfortable. Loved the deck we would have used more if it wasn’t raining. Location was great. We will carry a non slip mat in future for ease of getting out of the bath/ shower. We laid down a hand towel. Easy.
- Patricia (8/5): Comfortable, clean and great location - Quiet area, very clean and tidy. Great location with a lovely restaurant in front of the building. Parking is tight for large vehicles in underground car park.
- Vicki (9/5): -
- Amba (10/5): - The garden was beautiful
- Dale (8/5): Wonderful time there will most definitely be returning - Lovely place to stay close to everything you need and room was super clean and nice to be in Car park was really small
- Hans (8/5): Very well located - We were in an older unit on the third floor with no lift; great for exercise but will be problematic for people with mobility. Location is fantastic with plenty of nearby restaurants. Staff very pleasant and helpful. No real complaints about anything.
- Steven Brett (8/5): - Car parking through and next to roller doors was tricky. Easier to park outside.
- Kirsten (10/5): -
- Pickering (9/5): -
- Tabatha (7/5): - The pool the location Our unit was quite dirty and our baby was crawling around and almost choked twice from finding things on the ground were it had not been vacuum properly
- Jo (8/5): - The patio The lounge was very uncomfortable
And there were dead cockroaches and stained bedding
- Maureen (8/5): -
- Alistair (7/5): I knew I was renting fairly cheap, for the location, accommodation - walking 3 sets of stairs, worst location and balcon - Locality to Golden Beach and the shops and Chilli 89 Cafe.
Price.
Underground car park - especially when the hail storm came. Room location next to the main garage entrance and noise from cars in early mornings and sound of the wheely bins being rolled to the road in the early morning.
As an international visitor with no unlimited data on my phone, the No Internet in the room was a big annoyance. I only realised this after I had paid for the room - otherwise I would probably not have booked it.
The roll-up blinds in the bedroom were very annoying. I like to sleep with no air conditioning and windows open but at night any breeze would move the blinds and they would bang against the walls making it difficult to sleep.
The apartment is old but functional and reasonably comfortable. The toilet flush was continuously running and noisy at night so I had to turn the water off to the toilet at night. I informed the Manager the day before I left and am sure it will be fixed.
For someone staying for more than 1 week it would have been nice to have shelves in the cupboards (only hanging space) so I could move my clothes out of my suitcase.
- Brian (10/5): -
- Kim (9/5): Very nice, thankyou - Location. Balcony was amazing. Very clean and functional Unfortunately I don’t notice that it didn’t have wifi. But we survived!
- Kelly (10/5): Breathtaking and relaxing - View and facilities 10/10 Nothing not to like
- Alyssa (9/5): -
- Paula (7/5): - Nice location, clean and tidy , had everything we needed. Just didn’t like the stairs as we were on the 3rd/3rh floor.
- Charlotte (9/5): Great location, neat and tidy and very quiet - very quite area, excellent safe parking, appreciated both the pool and the closeness to the beach, aircon worked perfect, nice balcony, just big enough for us, it was not that I didn't like it, just not really practical or safe with the power outlet in the kitchen being inside the bottom cupboard, and no other powerpoint above the kitchen bench.. we did not use the kettle and made no coffee.
- Jennifer (9/5): Spacious rooms, perfect location. - The rooms were very spacious. The location was excellent. The pool was refreshing and the spa was nice & hot! I would definitely stay here again. The rooms were a little dated but very clean & comfortable.
- Behrens (7/5): Pretty good - Great location, friendly helpful staff, unit was generally nice. Couch was very uncomfortable, Foxtel didn't work, and the three flights of stairs to get to the apartment was a bit of a struggle, we had been warned about the stairs though. No washing powder.
- Francileide (9/5): Amazing - Great location The furniture was a bit old
- Pearl (8/5): Overall it was a great stay. Little things do matter. Don't stint on essential like loo paper. - The unit had everything needed ( except for consumables listed below). Pots pans, cutlery etc for 4 people. There was a washing machine and dryer and good air-conditioning and fans. All the electricals worked.
Loved the pool and spa. Very well designed for all age groups. Easy to access from our unit 212.
We had a partial view as we were on the 2nd floor. That was fine. We were in a unit# 212 which was accessible by stairs. We should have asked how many as we are 74 and 62 years respectively. My partner has some issues with balance.If you have issues with stairs and carry things up 2 flights of stairs from the garage, ask for room/rooms without stairs.
The floor wasn't mopped and clean when we checked in. Unless I had footwear, the soles of my feet were black.
From a safety point of view, the hot water is set at a very high temperature and it heats up so quickly it is easy to scald oneself.
We were these for 4 days but was told as it is self contained, they only provide 1 roll of loo paper, 2 sachets of dishwashing liquid, 2 sachets of dishwasher powder, 2 sachets of clothes washing powder. So if you are staying more than 2 days, bring all the above.
Coffee, tea and milk was also minimal.
- Tara (7/5): Great place to spend Christmas - Location was great, room was comfortable, had everything we needed. Nil
- Robert (7/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): Perfect break - Great location awesome staff clean and cool cafe attatched
- Jo (9/5): Fantastic location, great view, unit clean and resort well maintained - View, quiet, clean, friendly staff, great location close to shops beach and courtesy buses to clubs
- Ren24 (8/5): Good location, calming place - Beachfront, pool for the kids and the room was spacious for a few days.
People whining about the stairs it clearly states that it's a studio with stairs, it's 3 flights. Great for exercise & I did it alone with kids.
It also stated no wifi, most people should have hotspot so not a problem for us. The noise at night with neighbours coming in and out banging gates. Just respect. Staff can't manage this, even with signs up asking to keep the noise and close doors quietly!!
- Carolyn (7/5): brilliant location but dont book room 213 - Perfect location dont book into room 213
Carpark is only suitable for a motorbike
Walk out of the bathroom, which is the size of a cupboard, to the full view of people at the pool
- Lloyd (7/5): relaxing - cool location with ocean breeze very difficult car park
- Julienne (9/5): - Great views. Spacious apartment!
- Heather (10/5): -
- Margaret (9/5): Loved it so much we are coming back next year. - Location was superb, great ocean view, quiet location, secure undercover parking, close to shops, comfortable bed.
- Elizabeth (10/5): Lovely place to be on the water - The view from the balcony was sublime and the apartment was much bigger and more comfortable and supplied than I had expected. The cafe downstairs is always busy because it’s a good place to be. Further away from the airport than I had realized and the beach is only swimmable at certain times but there is nothing wrong with the resort pool at those times
- Jennifer (8/5): -
- Suzanne (9/5): - Very comfortable accommodation.
Beautiful gardens and pool.
Staff were excellent. Unfortunately there was no WIFI available in the unit I was in. Disappointing.
- Megan (8/5): -
- Caroline Mooney (8/5): - Location and vicinity to shops, cafes and beach. Lounge and TV setup could be better organised. TV to be placed between both cabinets instead of located in the corner.
Day lounge located on balcony would be a great item to include.
- NICOLE (9/5): -
- Jon (8/5): Nice but would look for a ground floor unit or lift next time - Location was great with a nice view
As we were late the lady from Moore gs gave me a call to ensure we had all the access details Had to walk up 3-4 flights of stairs with bags to our room
- Kim (8/5): -
- annette (9/5): - Location was prefect. Right near the beach and beautiful views from our apartment. Beds were very comfortable and apartment very spacious. Close to all amenities. There are stairs for some of the apartments and if have older guests could be a problem. Also, we didn't have Wi-Fi in our apartment so had to go down to cafe to speak to family overseas
- sims (10/5): -
- Candace (8/5): - Room was clean and tidy.
A 2 min walk to cafes, restaurants, IGA and bottle store.
Enjoyed the pool and Jacuzzi at night time.
A 5 - 10 min drive to Happy Valley and Kings Beach.
- Deirdre (8/5): - Great location. Magic views. Large bedroom with super comfy bed. Shower screen took a bit of effort to open/close. No lift. Had to walk up 3 levels (4 from the basement) with luggage.
- Elaine (7/5): -
- John (8/5): Enjoyable. - Accessibility. Tired.
- Lorraine (10/5): -
- Ben (10/5): -

- Krystle (6/5): Great - Amazing view. No wifi. Hard to keep kids entertained without it. No air con in master bedroom
- megan (10/5): Absolutely amazing - Very amazing view Nothing
- Norbert (10/5): -
- Julie (9/5): Perfect 3 night getaway - I loved that it was quieter than Caloundra.
The sand across the road was lovely and soft. Lovely and flat to walk.
The pool was my favourite spot. I didn't get to try the Cafe, it was always full.
The view from the third floor was stunning.
The apartment size was perfect for one person. A lovely supply of shops close by.
I would come back again.
Enjoyed watching the kite surfers.
I forgot there was a gym to use.
The gardens are lovely. The stairs were really hard on my knees. As I have two painful knees.
I didn't like someone who smoked close by, and the smell blew into my windows.
- Helen (8/5): - There was a smell in the room.
The kitchen and bathroom were tired.
- Kellie (10/5): - We had a perfectly wonderful time. Beautiful gardens, quiet location. A+ service and amenities.
- Christine (9/5): -
- Wenban (9/5): - Loved the look of resort and location Size of spa, and it was not working.
- Chris (9/5): -
- maureen (7/5): - close to cafe's and The Boat house club, where food was good and staff friendly. Easy walk to other shops too. bit noisy from unit opposite with kids screaming at 4am in the morning. Luckily not the following night as would have complained to management.
- Gina (8/5): - Great service and location but needed to update the mattress. It was in need of replacement Also could do with more bathroom accessories such as shower gel and moisturiser
- Delphine (9/5): Calm and relaxing - The location N/À
- Fiona (9/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): - The apartment was spotlessly clean and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Yes there is no internet or lift but they tell you this before booking so if not happy with this then book somewhere else. Rebecca was the perfect host and a wealth of local knowledge. We would definitely stay here again
- Gregory (9/5): Met purpose - Location, good quality accommodation Everything was fine
- Steve (8/5): - Superb location.Beachfront. Close to Shops and Cafes.. wonderful Ocean views
- Christopher (7/5): Amazing staff, nice views but it needs an update - Beach views Rooms we super clean but the tv and fittings were old and out dated 2k at fantastic, Kmart and kogan would be a game changer for the place.
