Great location and great communication from Yvonne. The rooms were roomy, very clean and airy. Beautiful big balcony and view of the water over the road. Just a walk down the street for breaky & coffee. The furniture is getting dated but I would definitely stay here again.

Liked the layout of the apartment. Liked the air conditioning in the main area and the bedroom. Because we were on the top floor and it was the middle of summer the ceiling heats up during the day and continues to heat the apartment all night while it is cooler outside. Apart from that we loved it.

Spacious and tidy apartment and great location right opposite beach. The only downside was the noisy road. The Managers were very friendly. We would stay again but try staying higher up the floors.

Gillie, Gold Coast

Close to beach and not far from the centre of town
The apartment is in need of a renovation and makeover but the large living area made up for the worn carpet, leaking toilets and no air con in bedrooms. Thankfully there wasn't a huge heatwave at the time of the visit. The lift broke down on our departure but a workman as well as the caretaker gave a hand to carry down our suit cases. All things considered it was a quiet location and the rooms were clean & tidy. The caretaker was quite helpful.

Hi Gillie Thanks for your comments.... Older apartments usually mean more space - thankfully this is a big bonus for Belvedere. We take your comments on board and are always encouraging our owners to make upgrades - not always successfully!! Please stay again soon. Yvonne Porter

Enjoyed 3 wonderful days experiencing the golden beach area .. close enough to Caloundra to walk for shopping & entertainment but far enough away to enjoy the solitude of the beach & waterfront areas .. great walks along the wetland area ... staff were very helpful and made the stay restful ... thank you so much

Clean and comfortable apartment on the beach
Our third floor apartment was clean, comfortably furnished, and had excellent views of Caloundra and the Pumicestone Passage. It was well located just across the road from the water, parklands, and a walking/cycling path. The main Caloundra shopping area is a couple of km away but Golden Beach shopping centre was only a short walk away. It has a small supermarket, takeaway, cafes, doctor, and other shops. The management and staff were friendly and efficient. The only slight minus for us was that the unit is showing it's age a bit. That being said, we would still recommend staying at the Belvedere.

Fantastic ocean view
Fantastic ocean view from living room. Big, clean and comfortable unit. Great value. Yvonne was super efficient, warm and friendly and made us feel very welcome. However, there is only a fan with no aircon in bedrooms which is fine in May but may be a problem during the hotter months.
Stayed 4 nights in May 2017
Your comments are appreciated! Yes - bedrooms can be hot in mid summer weather. We find that with living room air con pumped up, it is only a problem in extreme heat conditions. All doors open in summer also provide flow through breeze. All up, most guests are happy!! Yvonne Porter

Golden place
The apartment was centrally located in Golden Beach with water views. We were upgraded to a 3 bedroom apartment which was clean and comfortable. It was a little disappointing to receive only towel each and no sachets of washing powder which would have been handy.

Nice location, however beware of putrid odours!
The second night of my wife's stay in room #17 was spoilt due to a putrid sewage like smell which permeated the entire apartment and destoyed any chance of sleep. The exact source of the smell was unable to be established. The issue was reported to management the following morning, after my wife departed the hotel around first light. Very dissapointing!
Response from Yvonne on 18 Nov 2016
Thanks for reporting this issue!! It was the laundry waste - sometimes gets dry from lack of use and causes odour. Easily fixed - I wish you had reported it at the time to avoid unnecessary discomfort! Yvonne Porter

Great views across the passage to Caloundra CBD
Great views to the water and CBD lights at night (and to the mountains also if your room is on the top floor). Our apartment was fairly sparsely furnished but ok for a beach stay. Terrible interior layout (2nd & 3rd bedrooms very tiny - barely room to walk around the beds, main bedroom huge but mostly vacant space, no door on the ensuite, kitchen cramped) but I don't have to live there so not really an issue. Playground and beach straight across the road.

Comfortable apartment close to main centre
We found the apartment very comfortable, clean and well maintained and all we needed for our short stay. Security and privacy great. Position perfect with park opposite and view of water. Close to eating places and shops ie walking distance. Traffic a little noisy but expected on busy esplanade. Would like to stay for a more extended time to appreciate surroundings areas of Caloundra.

Apartment views are pleasing but it's a bit tired
Comments are mostly covered elsewhere. The apartment is well equipped. The main drawback is that it has no air conditioning. It has ceiling fans but really hot summer days are problematic. I would recommend the apartment but with a proviso about air conditioning.
Response from Yvonne Porter on 19 Dec 2015
Hi Daryl I'm surprised at your comments regarding "no air conditioning"?? Did you mean no air con in bedrooms - as the living in Unit 18 has large 7.5kw air con system which usually cools down the entire apartment. Please let me know if you experienced problems with the air con unit as this has not been reported to me and after testing today it appears to be working fine? I'd hate to think I missed an important repair!! Cheers Yvonne Porter

disappointing
When we first arrived we noticed there was no air-conditioning in the 2 bedrooms which were very hot. We put the aircon on in the living room hoping it would reach the bedrooms but never did then after 40mins the lounge room was still hot, the living room aircon wasnt working properly. We have 2 small children including a 3month old baby we were all so hot. The toilet flush button was broken aswell and the bedrooms smelt very musty and old. We were offered another unit but it was on the bottom floor with no view like we had on the top floor, it was alot smaller then the one we had paid for and still there was no aircon in the bedrooms, and on the weekend of a heatwave we wanted our babies to have aircon to sleep comfortably. We ended up going to another hotel but the manager kept $100 of what I had paid, which we thought wasnt very fair as none of what happened was our fault. Also the car park is very small and tight saw another family had to take their roof racks off just to fit their car in the garage.

Great place with a great manager. We had a top floor u it and had a great view over the water and back towards Caloundra super relaxing and the kids loved the park and the calm beach just across the road. Would have been great if they had a soa or the pool was heated but otherwise it was lovely.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on coming back again. It's in a fantastic location with the beach right across the road as well as two parks which are very easily accessible. The fishing jetty across the road is also great. Room was very spacious & had everything we needed. The apartment wasn't brand new but still in good condition.
