This was by far the cleanest most beautiful apartment that we have ever stayed in and we travel for work and leisure a lot. The staff communication was beyond excellent. There was a shopping centre within arms reach and plenty of places for take out or eat in . I would highly recommend this property.

New property, handy for shopping centres and beach. Bed comfy. Staff very accommodating for us with my wife in wheelchair. Ambulant room worked well. Only comment, two chairs instead of one would be great to sit at the bench for eating meals.

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!
