This properties appeal is all in the location. Great spot and the beach front property has amazing views. Unfortunately the apartment was very dirty and most of the doors and windows were incredibly corroded and some even unable to open. The pool and spa was beautiful and the common areas around the resort was well looked after

We love this place. The kitchen is poorly equipped in the unit we stayed in but that’s up to the owner not the establishment. Close to the beach.

Lovely renovated unit,spacious & very comfortable. Pool & a few steps to the beach. The Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary Zoo is 2 mins walking. Fun place for kids, pat a kangaroo & fantastic wild bird show. Very close to the Gold Coast Airport so very handy and no worry about traffic to get to the airport.

Nice location
It was a nice location (close to the beach) and friendly team - it was a bit hard to track them down/communicate at times though. Unit was fine but a bit dated and not what the images showed on the website.
We enjoyed having the surf club down the beach and access to shops etc close-by.

Great Location
We had a 2 bedroom apartment with a sea view on the second level which had a walk in wardrobe and en suite along with a laundry with another shower and a separate toilet with a large well stocked kitchen/dining and lounge for the family to spread out in.
The place has easy underground parking with access up to the rooms. The pool area with BBQs was great and very tidy. The place also has easy and close access to the beach and is well placed for driving to all the attractions the Gold coast has to offer. We were on the second level and at the start we did hear the planes but they aren't consistent and stopped at a good time and we didn't notice them after a couple of days, other than this the place is very quite. We would stay again when coming to the Gold Coast.

A modern 2 bed unit, well set up for the holiday maker. Great kitchen lounge room, with a dining area. Kitchen has lots of appliances, plates and cutlery.
The unit I was in was clise to the pool, spa and bbq area. The complex is a very short walk to a great walkway, and the beach.
The unit I was in had 2 bathrooms, which included a laundry and bathtub.
It also had a walk in robe.
Was disappointed in the bed. I didnt find it comfortable, plus the last 2 nights the upstairs neighbour was doing something wierd. From around 11pm until 2pm they where running and jumping...just annoying.
Overall, though, a good stay.

Apartment was a great location, very central to beach, surf club, cafes and bars.
Apartment was nice, very spacious. But very dated and in much need if an upgrade.
If not good on stairs, ask for grouns level or choose somewhere else as lots of stairs and no lifts..
No give on checkout time, yes we were half hour past checkout time, but pressure was ridiculous, knocking on door twice and pressuring people in car park, whilst parking there car, asking for apartment keys.
Which was a bit disappointing.Especially as we were for a wedding and one of the couples getting stressed was the Bride and Groom..
