Ideal location, friendly honest helpful staff, great facilities. Unfortunately we had accidentally damaged an ottoman and they were willing to charge us the sale price for it’s replacement and fuel to collect it instead of keeping a larger amount from the deposit. We will be back.

Older style low rise apartments. Spotlessly clean, good WIFI, streaming channels, aircon, washer & dryer, full kitchen, hot shower and comfy bed. Excellent location. Very quiet, coffee shop across the road, beach, walking path, park and playground at end of the road. Oasis shopping centre & Woolies less than 5 minute walk and easy walk to Pacific Fair and Broadbeach restaurants. Highly recommend

The accommodation was close to where we needed to be. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The air conditioner was located in the lounge, not the bedroom. It took awhile to cool the bedroom down.
