The room was old & tired looking. Under the bed was dusty, the bed on rollers, not in castors, so kept moving. We were there for a week & both have sugar in our daily coffee. We ran out of the sugar provided & asked for more but were told because we were staying 7 days we needed to provide our own. The sheets were scratchy & irritated my legs. It was not cheap accommodation, nor backpackers but felt like it was. Fortunately the location was fantastic. But we won't be going back

Ideal location, friendly honest helpful staff, great facilities. Unfortunately we had accidentally damaged an ottoman and they were willing to charge us the sale price for it’s replacement and fuel to collect it instead of keeping a larger amount from the deposit. We will be back.

Older style low rise apartments. Spotlessly clean, good WIFI, streaming channels, aircon, washer & dryer, full kitchen, hot shower and comfy bed. Excellent location. Very quiet, coffee shop across the road, beach, walking path, park and playground at end of the road. Oasis shopping centre & Woolies less than 5 minute walk and easy walk to Pacific Fair and Broadbeach restaurants. Highly recommend
