We loved the property, beautiful views of the ocean right on the beach and a lovely big and bright apartment! Michael and Karen were so lovely and accommodating, can cannot fault our stay, we will definitely be back!
United KingdomAmazing location - right on the beach, near 2 flagged areas for the kids.
AustraliaWe were lucky enough to be upgraded! The property is in a fabulous location away from the hustle bustle but close to transport & surf club restaurant. Interior was showing signs of needing a refresh but we had no complaints.
AustraliaExcellent location. Direct beach access from a secure pool area. Far enough from the hustle and bustle of Caville Ave that you get a quiet beach experience, but close enough that you're able to walk to all of the amenities that are offered there. Karen was very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.
AustraliaLoved to proximity to the beach. Loved to proximity to all the action at Surfer Paradise.
AustraliaThe location is sensational, literally on the beach and 300m from Northcliffe Surf Club so excellent for swim and surf
United KingdomLoved the location and the view was excellent, right on the beach
AustraliaStayed in 3 bedroom 4.5 star apartment. Ocean views, location on the beach, comfy beds, clean spacious apartment. Managers sent great communication in the lead up to our travel date.
Australiathe entire unit was beautiful & very clean & comfortable.....the only glitch was a bit of difficulty in entering the car park, and this was attended to by Michael very promptly. He organised for us to use a more convenient parking space for our larger car.
AustraliaMy family and friend had a fabulous relaxing time here. All the apartments have a spectacular beachfront ocean view with no adjoining walls. Location was perfect - handy to action on main beach, Broad Beach, Pacific Fair, restaurants etc. We were 20 steps from the beach. Apartment and the whole block were well maintained and very clean. Managers Karen and Michael were welcoming with a positive energy. I have booked many apartments on the Gold Coast and this is up there with the best stay.
