Gorgeous, well stocked rooms that were spotless. The mattress was very firm tho (and I usually like a firm mattress but this was a bit much). Fabulous location and the restaurant downstairs was wonderful. Would stay again.

The unit is new, comfortable and perfect. It had everything you need even a fresh cold jug if water in the fridge. The property is easy to find, parking was simple and its opposite a shopping mall with everything you need & more. A short 5-10 min walk to an incredible beach. I found the ocean to have lots of fun waves and water temp warmer than up in Hervey Bay. I highly recommend this property.
The perfect ocean!

Stayed for one night for business purposes. Room and view weren't anything to write home about but room was clean and functional. I requested a king bed due to back issues and an early check in, and both were granted. However bed was two singles together so not very comfortable. Soap and shampoo dispensers in shower were completely empty. I enjoyed my stay. Lobby could do with a key drop as reception was unmanned when I went to check out.

We loved our stay at this apartment. It looked new, well furnished, spacious and clean. The staff was helpful. The best part about the apartment was that it’s right next to the shopping mall and the beach. Easy access to everything!
