Staff are polite. The apartment was clean. We shower twice a day in Gold Coast. So it’s a bonus to have washing machine. It has indoor, outdoor pool, sauna and spa. The children love it even it’s a raining day. Walking distance to 6-8min to Oasis Shopping Centre - cafe, restaurant and woolies, very convenient.
Dish Washing machine- can never clean the dishes properly. We end up cleaning the dish with old fashion way. Perhaps invest a good dishwashing machine is more eco friendly. Aircon- we have aircon in living area and master bedroom. However no aircon in 2nd bedrooms. With just ceiling fan, the 2nd bedroom still hot and uncomfortable.

Location, views, facilities. We have stayed here a few times now and it’s always fantastic, no need to use the car. The renovation of the general areas is gorgeous.
On arrival I had to vacuum the couch as the previous people had left popcorn all through the chairs, so that was a bit annoying considering what we paid to stay there. The windows were extremely dirty but I did notice that the cleaning was scheduled for the following week. We found a lot of rubbish under the beds. Considering we booked 12 months in advance we were hoping to get a higher floor but were on the lowest for ‘ocean view’ which was more of a park view - it’s always nice to be higher as the traffic noise is a lot less as well. There was only 1 knife available which wasn’t very sharp, made cooking difficult.

Fantastic location with a great view of the sea, plus walking distance to amenities and the beach. Apartment itself was beautiful, well-furnished and well-equipped (i.e. lots of pots, pans, cutlery, plates, bowls etc) for a couple of weeks' stay in Gold Coast. It also comes with a couple of sachets of dishwashing detergent, a couple of sachets of laundry detergent and a couple for the dishwasher.
I have to concur with the other reviews that the wifi experience in the apartment is not the best. Basically, we were fine in the living room but it is really spotty in the bedrooms. It was bad enough that I had to download a movie on Netflix in the living room so that I can watch it without issues in the bedroom. It was annoying but our overall experience was still great.

Great location, lovely apartment with everything you need. Very comfortable and spacious, perfect for families with children. We would book again.
We booked a high floor with ocean view but our apartment wasn’t even halfway up the building, we were quite low on floor 9. Was still a great view, but could only see water and the park from our balcony and no sand on the beach, booking a high floor you’d think it would be slightly higher than halfway up so you get a better view of the beach and ocean. But that’s just being picky, the rest was great.

Beautiful location, close by to transport, shopping café’s & restaurants also all within walking distance. Staff were super accommodating when we arrived early and held our bags for us until check in. Plenty of room and facilities were great. A longer stay is definitely on the to do list.
The shower door didn’t have the plastic water catcher on the bottom of the door so water ran straight onto to floor where you stepped out. We also found a bandaid in the bed 🥴. Also a few stray hairs in the carpet - shag style. All in all small things that are easily amended.

Great central location with easy access. Walked everywhere. Oasis shopping centre. Casino. Pacific Fair shopping centre. Walk across road to big park and Patrolled beach. The main bedroom ensuite had huge shower and spa bath. Had a window view of ocean while in spa. Spare bedroom had good size singles. Community sauna, steam room, jacussi, indoor heated pool were fabulous.
Furnishings were clean but aged. Cabinets are well past use by but sturdy and clean. Just water damage due to age. Curtains and sheets need replacing badly. Especially sheets in main bedroom. Had holes and tears.

Location excellent! Seaview apartment facing the sea Well stocked cupboards Good appliances & whitegoods
Only one thing worth commenting on In this apartment on one side (right side) of the master king bed there was a bit of a dip in the mattress especially if your a tall person.

Lovely place, great location, gorgeous view, great facilities. Spa bath was fantastic.
Not enough blankets provided for the beds particularly the queen bed. It got quite cold at night so the heaters were used more than if we had a proper blanket. Main bed is also two singles together which made it quite uncomfortable. There is a glass partition in the ensuite that should have a blind or be covered up as there is no privacy when going to the toilet. Also the bedroom locks did not work so this also gave little privacy in the ensuite.

Great property, spacious and clean in a very good spot. We didn’t get to use much of the facilities (pool / gym) etc. but the building as a whole was nice and well presented, not at all tired / worn out. The apartment was so nice to be in that to be honest we didn’t want to go outside as much as we normally would, a great place to just relax. After hours check in was easy, car parking was good and the elevators were noticeably not as slow as what you’d expect, even when one of the lifts was out of service for a day.

Apartment, views in bedrooms and lounge room and patio.
Cleaning products smell in reception smelt like strong chlorine. I'm assuming it is an eco friendly product, and suggest trying another eco friendly product that doesn't have same smell. The pool inside area smell was very strong on first day of arrival which may have been from the chlorine in pool area.
