The views are spectacular. The facilities are very good (just a few minor ageing/wear issues). Beds comfortable and helpful friendly staff. Location is excellent as it’s right across from the beach, 2 blocks to the Sea Urchin Cafe (excellent brekky) and a beautiful beach walk to Surfers. The paths are great for going on my scooter too. The pool was moderate in size but very pleasant.

Hello there We wanted to let you know that we are the new management here at the Waterford on Main Beach and have noted your feedback from the beginning of this year. We have been working to ensure that all of our apartments are welcoming, fresh and luxurious for our guests. We noted on our arrival that a couple of our apartments that did not have air conditioned bedrooms and we have been progressing the installation of aircon in these apartments. We hope you will consider staying with us in the future.

Stunning views, spacious, great family spot
The Waterford was a fantastic place to stay. The views are breathtaking and as they are from every room you are always connected to the outdoors. The apartment was spacious and provided my husband and I enough space away from our three children, who had enough space to play. The kitchen was fully equipped. The spa bath was great, a beautiful view, especially at nighttime over the canal. The reception was lovely with lots of useful information. The pool and spa were a great place to relax and we used the tennis court several times. Walking distance to cafes and directly opposite the beach with uninterrupted views.

Great view but not worth the price.
Lovely location. Reception hours does not mean there is anyone actively at the reception, check in and or check out desk. I had to wait to check in even though I arrived at 3pm because there was no-one there to check me in. There was a sign saying 'Back in 10 minutes'. Waited 20 minutes, called mobile provided and had to leave a message. For the price I paid I would expect someone to be at reception to check me in. No one was there when I checked out either. Otherwise the view was gorgeous. The building is old and tired, but it is obvious that the internal has been substantially refurbished. Won't be returning due to expense for what you get.

This was our second time visited at waterford and we just love this place as it’s located on a main road but more quite than surfers paradise and broad beach and you can enjoy the fantastic seaview from the apartment. Facilities at the apartment was very mordern and luxurious.

Breathtaking Views in nice Quiet Location.
The Waterford is what Americans would refer to as a condominium apartment in which some owners rent out their apartments as vacation rentals. Much thus likely depends on the apartment you get. I stayed on the 12th floor and was very pleased with my apartment. The views were breathtaking. To my taste the Waterford is ideally located. It is located right across the street from the beach in a quiet location between Surfers Paradise and Main Beach village. Some might consider it a bit out of the way – I do not. It is about a 15-20 minute walk to Surfers Paradise and about an 8 minute walk to Tedder Avenue in the village of Main Beach. While Surfers Paradise has some attractions, in my opinion it is nice to be removed yet close enough to access as it is too noisy at night for my taste. Tedder Avenue, the primary street through Main Beach village, strikes me as very upscale with some pricey restaurants which will appeal to some – depending on their budget. The town of Southport is about a 20 minute walk – albeit most would drive or take the G-Link [Gold Coast Light Rail] to Southport. The closets G-Link stop is about a 6-8 minute walk from the Waterford. You will likely get your supplies from either the Coles or Woolworths’ in Surfers Paradise or Southport. The extent of what you will need depends on how many meals you prepare in your apartment. I would definitely stay at the Waterford again.

Lovely apartment with beachfront views
The apartment was very spacious and with gorgeous ocean views. Location was very close to the heart of Surfers Paradise but far enough away to be out of the busyness. Well appointed rooms, very comfortable.

Best views on the coast
The Waterford on Main is a quiet place with fantastic views, 30 seconds from a wonderful beach. Approximately 2km (20 minutes walk) from Surfers Paradise. The building has a small pool and jacuzzi, tennis court and BBQ area. Our room was very clean and the building was well maintained. We stayed there for 6 days and would definitely come back again.

AMAZING VIEWS!
Just returned after a week away at The Waterford on Main (with my husband and our two children aged 2 years and 4 months old). It was perhaps the most beautiful apartment I've ever stayed in. We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment on the 21st floor. As the lift doors opened, all you saw was water! Just gorgeous.

Nice and close to beach
It was a great weekend away and we didn't let the smelly room hamper our stay. The owners did warn us of a smell to the carpet (apparently it had just been cleaned) and we did get the opportunity to check the room before paying but when you have 3 excited kids, we thought with a bit of airing the carpets would dry and it would be fine. The smell didn't go away. The location was great, plenty to do and overall the premises was clean and presentable.
