The hotel is situated in a brilliant location. We didn’t see anybody who worked at the hotel during our two day stay as they have very short opening hours on weekends, however I’m sure they would be helpful if available. The hotel is fairly run down and in desperate need of some tlc. However, the room size was large and all amenities like washer, dryer etc are available.

Fantastic Beach Property

The position of this hotel right across from the patrolled beach, playground, skate park, surf club, shops and restaurants is perfect for a Sunshine Coast visit. Our 2 bed unit was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. There is a fairly busy road between the property and the beach but paradise isn't always perfect.

Bit dated and basic. But perfect for a good value family escape. Place needs a bit of a refurb to bring up to shape but the apartment we had was taken care of.

We had a nice stay. It was very close to the beach. It would have been more pleasant if the trees outside were pruned so that we got a view even to the ground. Some of the branches were touching the bedroom window. Had it been windy it would have been really annoying.

The location of this property is perfect, in such close vicinity to the beach, shops, food, park, skatepark and surf club. The apartment itself, number 30, was amazingly set up. They had board games, kids toys, beach toys, picnic rug & umbrella, a cart to take your stuff to the beach. The cupboards were full of everything you needed down to ice cube trays full. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you.
