Room was very clean, property was very clean. Bed was comfy. Light came through top of curtains all night due to style of curtains. It was like a row of led lights along ceiling above the curtains. Shower great, had enough kitchen items for a short stay. Short walk to beach and shopping centre. Kawana Beach was beautiful it was so close by and that’s what we came for

What a fantastic find! We booked for an overnight stay on our travels and was sad to leave, the room was clean and well presented. The amenities were great, albeit the pool was very cold due to lack of sun on it. The Mexican restaurant, Vida, was awesome. Very much enjoyed our stay and have saved the details for future trips. Thank you!

Really nice hotel but after hours check-in is a bit confusing, was told there would be an envelope for me with details but there was none upon arrival. There are also multiple entries. Our room was out of shower gel and had a plastic bag over the smoke detector. Overall happy with our stay and location just wish the room was better presented, too many small details to be annoyed over, such as stains in microwave, half full water mug in fridge, still water in the kettle from previous guests, 2 smaller doonas dressed as one etc
