Easy access to beach and lifesavers right out front of unit. Lovely gardens and barbecue area. Swimming pool was good . We had a partial view unit which we had requested and it was all we needed for our stay, we were still able to sit on the balcony and see the beach and surf.

Disappointing management
On site management was over the top. Micro management of how to entering and exiting the building. Accusations of parking in the wrong numbered car park, which was infact incorrect, no apology was offered. In lots of ways ruined the holiday.

Spindrift on the beach is in a perfect position just steps from the sea and it's amazing views.Our apartment looked over the coast and had stunning views of the sunrises in the morning The pool is lovely and warm and well kept, ideal for families 1.5m deep on 1 side. We had clean linen every few days and a car park space and storage for bikes or boards if we needed it. The shops at Nobby's were in easy walking distance and plenty of places nearby for breakfast and coffee breaks and the surf club has a very good parmi night on Wednesdays. Burleigh is also within walking distance either on the beach or the Esplanade path, Surfers Paradise is walkable but you may want to get an uber back, it's further than it looks! Leanne and Peter were very helpful in reception and there was plenty of information on places to visit. We wouldn't hesitate to return again next time we're visiting the area. Many thanks for a great couple of weeks.

The apartment is in a great area with cafes/restaurants close by and being on the beachfront is wonderful. Sadly the carpets were not very clean and the wifi was poor and inconsistent. We had trouble logging in, and when we finally did the wifi would drop out and then be totally non-existent for long periods of time. We reported this to the managers but apart from saying "check the spelling" of the password (obviously we'd done that), they just didn't care saying they hadn't had problems before. This just isn't good enough for tourists who have done their best to support the Qld tourism industry during covid.

Good location, being a bit quieter than Surfers Paradise but right next to the club for great meals. No complaints, just be aware hot water can run out if you have a family of five who don’t know the meaning of water conservation! All staff very pleasant. Will stay again, for sure.

Hi Thanks for your review. 4 x Bath towels are provided with your accommodation. We do also hire out Beach towels for guest who do not bring their own for and a small laundry charge applies and can keep for entire stay. Beach towels and Boogie boards are kept at reception and is a very simple process of collecting and providing room number. I understand you were not happy to pay for these additional items I'm sorry
