Grounds were nice but the apartment was in very stale and old condition, it felt like staying in an old unused grandmas apartment. I would not stay here again.

Location across from the beach was great. The Beach Shack Cafe is the only close place to eat near by and closed mid afternoon. Unit was good up needed the dirty worn carpets replaced. Kid friendly but I probably wouldn't book again based on location of things to do.

The property was well located. It is basically an apartment building (not a hotel) and you are renting a condo. You get keys, and the beach is well located across the street. There are clearly full time tenants/owners also in the building from the state of the garage. Also many families there, and it seems well suited to family vacations (if you don't like screaming kids then FYI). There are no restaurants or stores in walking distance so buying groceries ahead is necessary. There are few cool restaurants or bars to walk to so Uber is a good idea. The decoration and furniture is a bit dated, but it was clean. Also, do your own dishes or you will be charged, there was a sign on the counter about that. The view from our unit was great, though, we could see the surf.

Very nice location, great outlook and very close to beach. Apartment needs updating, however the beds, linen and towels were of good quality. Planes coming into land, low overhead are really the only downside.

Good location, disappointing cleanliness
The property is directly under the the approach to Coolanagatta airport The bathrooms were not clean - there were rusty bobby pins on the edge of the bath, soap from the previous occupiers was in the corner of the shower recess and there was mould between the tiles in both bathrooms. There was not free wi fi There are no lifts - 32 steps to our room There was no advance notification that maintenance had caused under cover parking to be unavailable The apartment was spacious and functional The view is magnificent Plenty of walking close by The managers are very helpful - assisting with carrying the luggage

Perfect Location for Currumbin ANZAC Day morning
A perfect location for the reason we were staying. The room was spacious, we had three of us staying in a two bedroom apartment, lots of room to spread out. The bathroom was a little small but given it was a short stay, it didn't impact on the overall stay.

Very clean and tidy - pool was awesome
This property was very nice. The units I believe are individually owned and the one that we stayed in was perfect. Clean, tidy and well maintained. The only negative thing I can mention (which cant be improved by the hotel) is the fact that it is located directly under the Coolangatta airport flight path so the plans are about 150m from the roof as they come in to land. It was great for us because our kids absolutely love planes

Poor communication from owners- but splendid view.
Access to this premises was completely shut down during the Commonwealth Games- this was not mentioned prior to booking. We were unable to get taxi/transport/Uber within 3km walk which made travelling with luggage difficult. No air conditioning or wi-fi but great view. Value for money not great.

Dear Guest, we apologise for not satisfying your stay with us and thank you for providing us with detailed feedback. The message will be passed on to our cleaning staff so they can make improvements. Unfortunately we cannot provide elevators as it is not under our control. However, we'd love to allocate you to a lower level if you ever return and contact us when booking in. Extra charge will only be charged for very messy kitchens (e.g. unclean dishes and rubbish everywhere) as our apartments are self-contained and cleaners are not paid to do very detailed kitchen cleaning. We apologise if the wording on the note had brought confusions. Again, thank you for staying with us, we will continue to improve to provide better stays. Thank you!

Nice hotel, quiet area and clean.
Was upgraded to a ground floor when noticed we had a problem with stairs with our friend. Very considerate of our needs. Very quiet area, clean spacious rooms. No problems recommending this hotel. Must have car to go places as not in walking distance. Beach a little walk away but has good views even on ground floor.

The view from the unit is wonderful as is its convenience. The unit itself is spacious and clean. The only drawback is the noise from the planes flying directly overhead to the nearby airport.

Nice hotel great location
Just minutes from gold coast airport. Staff really good and helpful on arrival. Property really well maintained and pool area just the same. Very secure property. Our room was quite nice looking straight out over the beach and ocean, with surfers paradise as a backdrop. Easy access to public transport and just a few minutes from shops. All in all a very good place to stay. Thankyou

Nice apartment in close to beach
Enjoyed a two night stay whilst passing through. Sufficient local amenities for our short stay but would prefer more local restaurants , cafe's , bars etc if staying longer. When asked about wifi facilities was told to contact Marconi direct to arrange a contract , this was not possible especially as we were only staying for two days. ALmost every 4 star venue I have stayed at in recent years have included wifi.

Amazing view, modern apartment, perfect location
We're local to the Gold Coast and were just looking for somewhere convenient to stay for Buskers by the Creek, which happens every year in October right on the banks of Currumbin Creek. Little Cove surprised us with its incredible view over the Currumbin Estuary, down to Burleigh Headland and all the way to Surfers Paradise. The weather was terrible, so we also got to watch these beautiful big storms rolling in from the Pacific Ocean. The apartment was big enough for two mums with energetic boys, the pool was warm (after swimming in the creek) and the kitchen was very well equipped (right down to spare tupperware containers, a baby bottle and party platters). The only downside is that the "roof" over the balcony is just a piece of shade cloth. We didn't pay much attention and left books, phones etc on the table before the storm hit. Rookie error. The balcony can't really be used if it's raining as there is no undercover space at all. But the loungeroom shares the same epic view, so we survived. Can't recommend the location highly enough. You can walk to SWELL Sculpture Festival or Buskers by the Creek, the surf beach and creek are both a stones throw. If you like to walk, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is also just 1km or so away. Winning!

Dear Samantha, we're glad to see you enjoying your stay, and thanks a lot for the wondering comments. It is a little unfortunate that the weather wasn't impressing. We will remind all guests to take belongings from the balcony in nasty weathers in the future. Hopefully our apartment buildings can be renovated in the near future to make stormy days good for balcony activities as well! Thank you!

We had a wedding to attend at Elephant Rock so this was the perfect location. We are from Sydney so we had my mum stay with us to look after our kids, she had her own bedroom and bathroom and she loved it. The apartment was spacious and we would 110% stay there again.

good position, great view
This hotel is a block of privately owned managed apartments, not a hotel in the usual sense with drive-up parking, concierge, foyer etc. That's not a negative thing, just worth mentioning in case you were expecting those features. The apartments are managed by a resident manager. You page her from a buzzer at the security gate and she lets you in. The property is secure, there are no strangers wandering past, in fact we saw almost no other tenants in the time we were there. Our apartment was spacious and comfortable, the views from the balcony were amazing and there was an inviting swimming pool right outside, with no-one using it. It's under the flight path to the local airport so planes zoom overhead from time to time. A ten minute walk along the beachfront brings you to Currumbin Surf Club, a must-do place to eat and have a quiet beer. The dining room is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is frequented mostly by locals, which is an indication of quality food at reasonable prices. The dining room offers spectacular views along the coast. In the other direction you will find a beautiful park along the riverfront, a small shopping centre and the local RSL which as most RSL's has good food and beer at reasonable prices. I recommend Little Cove as one of the better places along the Gold Coast, away from the lowlifes and hoons that frequent Surfers Paradise itself. The apartments are well built, clean, secure and good enough to live in full-time.

Beautiful location and view.
Very clean, but outdated with air conditioning not working. The manager told us they keep the remote control at the reception because people leave the air con on all day even when they go out. No air conditioning in the bedrooms. Also bedrooms were very dark and depressing, looking towards the hill. No second TV in the master bedroom. We left a day earlier. Great gardens and pool. Sauna closed of course for electricity saving reasons.

Perfact family holiday location
We stayed in a 3 bedroom unit on the top floor for 2 nights. It was spacious, neat and well maintained. The staff at the complex were always very friendly and happy to help with any of our requests. There was a great view from our apartment of the cove, beach and back towards the city skyline of the Gold Coast. There is a lovely pool with a nice big shallow area which is perfect for smaller kids. The pool and spa weren't heated and was quite cold but the kids didn't seem to mind. I think the heating system had been turned off a few days prior. Little Cove is close to beaches, the Currumbin RSL Club (great food) and of course the famous Currumbin Bird Sanctuary. There are a few planes going overhead in the morning and and night. It didn't bother us as they passed quickly and our kids loved waving to the planes. We look forward to returning and staying at Little Cove again the future.
