Spacious and Well-Equipped

“The three-bedroom apartment we stayed in was incredibly spacious and came with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. There was plenty of cutlery and crockery, making it easy for us to cook meals together and host guests. The view from our apartment was amazing, capturing the coastline from the Spit to Coolangatta, which made our dining experiences all the more enjoyable.” view full review

Comfortable Sleeping Arrangements

“The beds in the apartment were quite comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep for everyone in our party. Each bedroom had its own unique air conditioning unit, allowing us to set our preferred temperatures for a cozy atmosphere. While the king bed needed a mattress topper for added comfort, the overall sleeping arrangements perfectly suited our family's needs.” view full review

Convenient Facilities

“Our apartment featured two bathrooms, which was very convenient for our family of four. Each bathroom was clean and well-maintained, allowing for a pleasant start to each day. I especially appreciated the ample storage space in the bathrooms for toiletries and personal items, making the stay comfortable for everyone.” view full review

Lovely Pool Area

“The pool and BBQ area were simply wonderful. It was a relaxing spot to unwind while enjoying views over the water. We found it to be the perfect setting to spend afternoons by the pool, soaking up the sun and taking in the ocean breeze. The heated pool was an added bonus, making it enjoyable to swim even on cooler days.” view full review
