"Our room along the tenth Fairway was clean and tidy. The TV did not work fully for 3 days. There was no food for 3 days. Overall the property is very run down. There were very few other guests mid - week. The golf course was in very good condition. Once obviously a very up market complex but it has aged and not been well maintained. We received a very cheap deal and we have stayed many times over the years. Last few times nothing has improved. A pity as it is an interesting picturesque golf...

This was a great place to stay, very easy to get in even though I arrived after hours, great communication from the property, the bed was comfortable. I think one of the spring is broken but still had a good sleep. The outstanding amenity was the spa bath. It was fantastic. It helped my poor sore muscles. Close to plenty of places to get something to eat for breakfast or dinner parking was a bit tight

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best area to stay in Carrickalinga?

The best areas to stay in Carrickalinga are along the beachfront or just a short walk back from the sand in the main residential streets.

The beachfront properties directly face the Gulf St Vincent, offering unobstructed views and immediate access to the beach. These homes are typically larger, modern, and often feature balconies or decks superb for enjoying the coastal scenery. The main road running parallel to the beach, Gold Coast Drive, provides easy access to all properties in this prime location.

Couples looking for a tranquil escape will find the beachfront ideal. You can enjoy long walks along the shore, watch the sunset over the water directly from your accommodation, and have a truly relaxing experience without needing to travel far for beach activities.

Families often prefer the residential streets just behind Gold Coast Drive. These areas still offer very quick access to the beach, often just a minute or two's walk, but can provide a bit more space and privacy.

The sea breeze often keeps things comfortable, even on the hottest days. This period also coincides with the Australian summer holidays, so the area is at its most active, with local shops and eateries fully open.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach escape will find these months particularly appealing. The extensive white sandy beach of Carrickalinga is superb for long strolls, watching the sunset, or simply unwinding by the sea. Many of the holiday homes in the area offer stunning ocean views, making for a romantic setting.
