    We booked this area rather than Mooloolaba as it was cheaper and we thought quieter but we got what we paid for.

    It was very tired looking and the furnishings were very uncomfortable. I don’t think anything had been done to it in 30 years. We booked an ocean view and we only got to see one end of the ocean. The locks need replacing as our neighbour walked in on us by mistake as you have to physically lock the door each time you come and go. We didn’t see the managers the whole time we were there.

    Closeness to the Alex surf club and beach. Cafes and coffee shops were close by.

    Modern, spacious, light-filled, comfortable clean apartment. The apartment is well equipped with modern appliances. Beds comfortable with quality bed linen. Location ideal to walk to Molooloba and Marychydoore or walk across the road to Alexander Head Beach, surrounded by good restaurants within walking distance.

    That our apartment didn't have a curtain for the Ranch Slider in the lounge/dining area. Would have shut out the lights at night, given a little more privacy and warmth. Cleanliness of some of the cutlery and cups could have been better. Lounge light very dim and hallway light didn't go at all.

    Great location. Swimming pools, spa, tennis courts, games room were all great both for adults and children. Well maintained. Pleasant staff. Easy to find your way around the complex and close to cafes, restaurants, shops, Surf Club, play grounds

    Only one carpark. Limited office hours. No salt and pepper. Side apartments not nearly as nice as beach facing ones. Mattresses a bit old, some dodgy carpet stains and very dusty around all the windows.

    Great check in process. Very simple and easy. Full kitchen. Big windows. Lots of heaters and blankets (it was cold at night!) great games room and pools. Such a perfect location.

    The apartment we stayed in on the penthouse level was sub-standard to be honest. It is in desperate need of renovation. Things like shower screens that didnt close. Broken chairs in the dining room. And a few other bits and pieces.

    We rented 5 apartments to accomodate family members from Adelaide who had come up for my daughter's funeral. We managed to get the whole family into the same complex which made life extremely easy as we had the wake at the Surf Club across the street. The staff were amazing - they could not do enough for us - and at that time was immensely appreciated. Most of the rooms were really nicely appointed and had great views of the ocean.

    Had to park our 2nd car a block behind which is fine if you don’t need to go out often. Note there is ceiling fans but no air conditioning in the bedrooms only the lounge room. It was quite cool when we were there there so ok.

    The view was great, good location, beds comfy, everything you needed in rooms was provided

    The kitchen cookware is extremely dated. If you're looking to eat in cooking may be difficult with what's available in the kitchen. TV's are also dated and had some problems, staff did offer to help solve the issue but we don't watch much TV so it didn't bother us at all.

    We stayed in one of the two bedroom apartments. It was a beautiful view, the rooms were very nice with comfortable beds. Good sized apartment with lounge/dinning/kitchen. In better weather it would have been great to sit on the balcony and watch the ocean. Loved the double shower and having access to washer/dryer. Perfect spot for families with a small games room, 2 pools and beach location opposite the surf club. The staff were absolutely wonderful. We would definitely stay again.

    The entry instructions did not work and we waited after phoning at least 15 minutes for a staff member to come to rectify the matter. We did not appreciate her off hand apology about the keys getting stuck. We have a disabled son who does not deal well with situations that do not go to plan. The bed in the main bedroom was too high for the short lady to get onto. There was no Instruction Manual in the unit which would have helped to work the television easily.

    The view was magnificent and it was very clean.
