The heated pool was absolutely beautiful and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms were older style but very clean and comfortable. Short walk to cafe and restaurants and to Cavill Avenue.

Safe and good location
Just over the bridge from Surfers Paradise, thus you can easily walk over to the strip. Communication with Jane was easy, quick and efficient. I stayed for 2 weeks and appreciated having laundry available. Though, very good internet strength was confined to the kitchen area. Otherwise, all was amazing!

This resort apartment was perfect for us. We were there for 9 days. We had a washing machine and dryer, body wash, shampoo and conditioner, towels, a kitchen with all the utensils, crockery, tea, coffee, sugar and a balcony to sit on that overlooked the pool area. Then add in Jane and her willingness to help us on a weekend and you have a perfect place, within walking distance to Surfers Paradise. Thank you Jane ❤️

Great location, clean and well equipped.
I chose to stay away from the crazy that is Surfers Central, and this was perfect. Short walk to everything, and even a small group of shops nearby. It was clean and comfortable. It was well equipped for a serviced apartment. Small tip though is to supply salt and pepper. Who wants to buy that for a short stay. I would definitely stay again but not in that particular room. As it was near the pool and the entry to other apartments l had to keep the shutters (which gave great privacy) on the patio shut for most of the time. The only other thing was that even though there was an overhead fan in the bedroom, it did not operational. Overall good value fir the money.
