We were so excited to arrive at our accommodation for our little Adventure, we were super happy to check in earlier than expected so made the day so much more pleasant. The complex is so close for the theme parks and harbour town. The beach is opposite which the kids loved for their morning walks, the apartment was roomy and a large kitchen, and two great verandahs. Parking was safe underground and access to all amenities was easy, and you get a good workout with the stairs.

What you would expect for the money.

This was an older complex , showing some signs of tiredness. Having said that it is in a good location with easy access to parking and to the unit. The unit has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only thing that needs attention is the beds as the mattresses are probably a little over their use by. We would stay here again as it is good value.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment. The apartment was a good size offering 2 outdoor balcony seating areas and a spa. The pool area and BBQ area were great. The apartment itself is a bit tired and could do with a refresh, and a deep clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming and communicated the late check in procedure well making our arrival smooth.

We recently stayed here with my in-laws and had a mixed experience. We booked a 2-bedroom apartment, and they had originally booked a 1-bedroom but were given a complimentary upgrade to a 2-bedroom. Their apartment looked recently updated and matched the photos online, while ours felt quite dated in comparison. The carpets and blankets didn’t feel particularly clean, which was a bit disappointing. On the positive side, the apartment was very spacious, which made it manageable and comfortable staying with two young children. The location was also excellent—close to the theme parks and Harbour Town, which was super convenient. Parking, however, was an issue for us. Our hire van was too tall to fit in the underground parking, and finding a spot on the street was extremely difficult. Overall, the stay had its ups and downs. The location and space were great, but the difference in room quality and parking challenges took away from the overall experience.

The staff member at check in was friendly and helpful. The location is fantastic, amd we were lucky enough to have a room with water views and a balcony to have dinner and watch the summer storms roll in. Even though it is situated near the highway, we could not hear any traffic noise inside, nor noise from any other apartment. The room was clean and spacious. It is close to shops and not far from the centre of Surfers Paradise. The amenities such as the pool and gym are great as is the allocated parking spot. The only thing that would make it better would be a lift so that people who are unable to walk up stairs could stay. We enjoyed our visit, and would be happy to stay again.
