This was by far the cleanest most beautiful apartment that we have ever stayed in and we travel for work and leisure a lot. The staff communication was beyond excellent. There was a shopping centre within arms reach and plenty of places for take out or eat in . I would highly recommend this property.

New property, handy for shopping centres and beach. Bed comfy. Staff very accommodating for us with my wife in wheelchair. Ambulant room worked well. Only comment, two chairs instead of one would be great to sit at the bench for eating meals.

Room was very clean, property was very clean. Bed was comfy. Light came through top of curtains all night due to style of curtains. It was like a row of led lights along ceiling above the curtains. Shower great, had enough kitchen items for a short stay. Short walk to beach and shopping centre. Kawana Beach was beautiful it was so close by and that’s what we came for

Perfect location for a family getaway. The mall is directly across the road and has a great variety of shops and food options; the beach is a short walk away and there is green space for soccer practice. Plus it’s directly next door to the spa/steam/cold plunge at Core Revival.

We found the one bedroom apartment very spacious with very good amenities. it was very clean with 2 smart TV's including one in the bedroom. The location is excellent because it is just across the road from a large shopping centre, 5 minute walk to the beach including a surf club so the overall experience was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lowanna Beach Resort.

Really nice hotel but after hours check-in is a bit confusing, was told there would be an envelope for me with details but there was none upon arrival. There are also multiple entries. Our room was out of shower gel and had a plastic bag over the smoke detector. Overall happy with our stay and location just wish the room was better presented, too many small details to be annoyed over, such as stains in microwave, half full water mug in fridge, still water in the kettle from previous guests, 2 smaller doonas dressed as one etc

The weather wasn’t so great, but it was a nice day as I got to relax in mind after returning from a very busy couple of months in Sydney. The room was kept very neat and tidy staff for always friendly and accommodating, and everything was thoroughly cleaned and any request I had were follow through overall a very positive experience..
