Great location, comfortable apartment with good amenities. Parking was convenient as well. Only disappointing thing was that the wifi did not work at all and the plug for the router/extender had been badly damaged which posed as a fire hazard.

The property is located easy walking distance to surfers Paradise and also the local Chevron Island shops and restaurants. The property is compact but there was good parking and their accommodation was clean and pleasant. Communication was excellent. The kitchen was really well appointed for a stay of several days. The pool was also a lovely addition. The property represents a really good value alternative to staying in surfers Paradise with a lot more amenities for the money you pay then what you would get over on the glitter strip.

This property is as described. I very much liked that it had air conditioning in the Qld summer heat and humidity. A delightful pool. A washer and dryer in my apartment with an actual functional kitchen (not a kitchenette).

This resort apartment was perfect for us. We were there for 9 days. We had a washing machine and dryer, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, towels, a kitchen with all the utensils, crockery, tea, coffee, sugar and a balcony to sit on that overlooked the pool area. Then add in Jane and her willingness to help us on a weekend and you have a perfect place, within walking distance to Surfers Paradise. Thank you Jane ❤️

Property was in a fabulous location. Easy walk to surfers beach. Unfortunately the Internet isn’t very good for people who work online as it was like having dialup which for us dosnt work. Cleaner must have been in a rush after last guests as inside microwave was dirty, sliding door and bathroom mirror were grubby. Kitchen tap only trickles out which makes doing dishes near impossible. No remote for tv in the bedroom so couldn’t watch it.

Great location, clean and well equipped.

I chose to stay away from the crazy that is Surfers Central, and this was perfect. Short walk to everything, and even a small group of shops nearby. It was clean and comfortable. It was well equipped for a serviced apartment. Small tip though is to supply salt and pepper. Who wants to buy that for a short stay. I would definitely stay again but not in that particular room. As it was near the pool and the entry to other apartments l had to keep the shutters (which gave great privacy) on the patio shut for most of the time. The only other thing was that even though there was an overhead fan in the bedroom, it did not operational. Overall good value fir the money.
