We loved our stay at this apartment. It looked new, well furnished, spacious and clean. The staff was helpful. The best part about the apartment was that it’s right next to the shopping mall and the beach. Easy access to everything! We had an amazing time at sunny coast and we really enjoyed this beautiful apartment!!

Lovely property, close to beach and shopping centre. At check in time, no one at reception, 2 others waiting also to check in. Called number but no response. Carparks very tight, signage or a map of location of allocated space be provided would be helpful. Construction materials - fenced off.

The apartments are aesthetically pleasing, and their location across from shops and cafes is highly convenient. Recently constructed, the development is nearing completion of its on-site restaurant, which will hopefully enhance the modern, minimalist aesthetic. I eagerly anticipate returning to experience the restaurant and its high-quality offerings. Exciting times Lowanna!

What a fantastic location! Easily accessible being only a block back from Kawana beach & surf club, across the road from well equipped shopping centre with plenty of majors to keep you busy on a rainy day, quiet & safe. Generously proportioned apartment with good natural light yet private and perfectly clean. New building with some minor teething issues, but would have no hesitation in recommending these apartments as a place to stay.
