    Too much security lighting on all night.

    Beautiful swimming pool. A great place for families to holiday. Right beside 4 mile Beach. Easy walk to the shops. Easy parking. Staff were super helpful in fixing an electrical problem on our first night

    The bathroom was too small and no shelving for toiletries. Couch wasn't very comfortable

    Our stay at Beachfront Terraces was great. Perfect position so close to the beach, cafes, redtaurants and shops. The apartment had everything required. Bed was very comfy. The only downfall was the bathroom. Although the shower was good the washbasin was tiny and wasn't really ideal. Apart from that would recommend.

    We enjoyed the location and the apartment, there is really not much we did not like expect the hand washing up ha ha. a very temporary problem on this occasion. The reception was fast to action a repair man on the day advised so I am sure this would not be any problem for the next visitor to stay.

    Location to the beach and main street was amazing. The apartment was very clean and tidy. Although we had issues with the dishwashing flooding and not working during our stay. Allocated undercover parking was fantastic. Shame renovations where NOT completed to the terraces at the front that was a little disconcerting upon our arrival walking past to reach our apartment and made us not feel very good on what to expect. To our pleasure our apartment was in great condition. and even had the bathroom renovated too. An email to advise the appearance of construction to the front terraces would have been good before arriving to ease our mind.

    Weak wifi. We don’t go on holiday to sit on our phones, so spending four times longer than necessary getting essential info for planning excursions because the wifi keeps dropping out is really annoying.

    Very helpful receptionist and great location near beach.

    The apartment is in need of a little update like better pans and other kitchenware and maybe some dispensers or shelfs for the bathroom but all this is just small stuff. It didn't impact the stay at all:)

    Very good service with friendly staff and phenomenal pool area. Loved the AC and celing fans too.

    The apartment was not as portrayed. It was cramped, much smaller than expected. The confirmation I recieved indicated that there was a separate bathroom and an additional toilet as well as the private bathroom. There was not. The private bathroom was about a metre wide. An alternative apartment meeting the specifications was not available.

    The location was perfect and the staff were friendly and competent.

    I do not like the noises around the apartment. Smoke alarms going off during dawn. We were on the ground floor and could hear the loud footsteps from above us. At some point during our stay, some residents scheduled renovation of their property at 7am on a peak season without notice from the bodycorp or guests staying at the apartments. Guest parking being used by the renovation team. Also, bring mosquito repellants if you are going to have breakfast in the garden.

    Location is really good if you want to stay near the beach.

    We weren't aware that in our apartment, the main bedroom didn't have a door, but it wasn't a big issue. Also, maybe I would recommend a toilet near the pool so we don't have to run to the room if needed.

    Everything was great!! the location and room were wonderful. Fiona at reception was great and helped us a lot with organising tours and transfers.

    On the back deck of the apartment workers renovating other apartments had left gyprock and tools and moved the outdoor furniture so we felt we couldn’t really use that area. There was also a lot of dust from cutting gyprock about.

    The queen bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable. Being opposite the beach was lovely listening to the waves at night. Great location and walking distance to Macrossan Street. It’s a dated property although there were quite alot of renovations going on in other apartments. Although our apartment was old it was spacious and reasonably clean. If the location is more important than the appearance of the apartments then it’s fine and is probably reflected in the price. If you’re planning to spend more time out than in then it works.

    Bit tricky to find as the name on the sign at the property does not match what it is called in booking.com and google maps. Also no reception of its’ own, combined with next door property of different name. Bathroom is tiny, very tight to navigate, even as a petite female. Bedroom was pretty small and bed & pillows were not overly comfortable. couch was tiny and uncomfortable. I Expect that in a hotel but a self contained unit you expect to feel like a home away from home. Parking space was quite narrow/bit tricky to get in and out. Pool was quite average, spa was useless - colder than the pool and a few heya that squirted upright .. Bathroom was not super clean - dusty and spider webs in window, door to shower bit broken and hard to close, no lock on door. A camper parked out the front and blocked our sea views for a whole day/night of the 3 we were there. No fault of the hotel but something to be mindful of which room you get of ground floor and laying extra for the view. Cleaners woke us up at 7am with a loud bang as they tried to enter the property before we had vacated when we had already confirmed we would checkout around 10am.

    Great location, being across from the beach and easy walk into the Main Street of shops.
