The property does not cater to tourists as the the property is a residence facility. Tourists are not made to feel welcome. There are an insane amount of bylaws that are plastered all over the property and in your face from the point of check in. Our property did not have a bbq facility which was rather unfortunate for the ridiculous amount we paid for 3 nights. Further the property is rather isolated. You will require a car if staying in this area.

Clean and Comfortable in Casuarina
The apartment was clean, spacious and comfortable. Fixtures and appliances were great, shower was really powerful. Free secure parking under the building. Very quiet considering it is peak season, and convenient for Cabarita Beach with its shops and restaurants.

Cotton beach visit
We love the location and have stayed there before too. The beds were really confortable and we loved the big table and nice furniture at the balcony. Towels and bed clothes were enough and we were happy for the dishwasher, washmachine and dryer. We missed proper cleaning tools for the floor as we stayed for two weeks and would have liked to clean once in a while. Unfortunately, this time there was a bad smell in the plumbing both in kitchen and bathroom. One of the main badroom sinks was plugged and water didn't go down well. The fridge leaked much water inside and even out on the floor. We had to be careful that our food wouldn't get wet of the dirty water. Sofas, carpet and Windows were dirty. We payed much more than our friends for the same size room and didn't have free wifi.

We really enjoyed the location and being a quieter spot. Apartment size was good and the balcony nice and private. Great being able to walk out the back gate for the beach. The mattras in the main bedroom was very uncomfortable, no hairdryer, very limited items in kitchen cupboard. Extremely poor internect connection.

Easter holiday
Our apartment was spacious,clean and comfortable. Cotton Beach is between Cabarita and Casuarina where there are good shops and cafes etc, although there is not a lot within quick walking distance from the resort so a car is needed. Also key collection is away from the resort but was easy to access and directions were clear. Feedback was given about a few extras that the apartment needs; coathangers, bottle opener (we donated one), face cloths in bathrooms and spare tea towels. Otherwise our stay was very enjoyable and the off-site staff were friendly.

Totally unacceptable to receive email on the day before arrival advising that check-in was at a remote location 15kms from the property. Although property was clearly booked far less than full occupancy request for upper level apartment was completely disregarded, despite managers website clearly specifying that this class of accommodation included a choice between ground floor and top floor.

Stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment that had its own plunge pool. The plunge pool was perfect for our 2 kids to play in. The main pool was only a throw away and the grounds were immaculate. The facilities in the apartment were great. Great cafe on the doorstep of the apartment. Overall a fantastic relaxing family holiday.

It is not a resort. It is mainly permanent residents who complain about the guests. Inconsistent signage about the rules of the complex. No upfront warning about the complex rules. No onsite managers to assist guests, only onsite assistance is for permanent residents.

Place and location are lovely but
Apartment is well appointed. Location is good. Restaurant downstairs is lovely, good service, decent prices and food. You have to check in 10 mins away and then drive to apartment. Very complex access details from car park to unit. No phone reception and NO WIFI available. Unit wasn’t very clean. One Toilet was broken and did not flush. There was no one available to help after hours unless it was an emergency. You have to wash and put away dishes before leaving to avoid fee. Overall not super customer friendly experience but again the unit and amenities are lovely.

Wonderful Family Holiday
We booked last minute here, everything was in perfection condition. It was very high quality for the price. The only thing I could comment was the dishwasher didn’t work and our bed wasn’t very comfortable. But it wouldn’t stop me from coming back! It had a beautiful outlook and backed on to the beach, so much so you could hear the ocean!

Lovely spot
Apartment was comfortable, quiet and close to the beach. Calling it a resort was a bit misleading as there was no front desk to check in which you would expect if you called it a resort. However everything was great. Hired a car as you really need one to get around. In between Tweed and Caborita. Not a lot of taxis or Uber's around, nor public transport. Cafe there was amazing!

The room was a nice room, but for the cost, it was very disappointing. I personally found that it was too remote from the things that I was doing. The room itself was nice.

A week of tranquility
It was peaceful, relaxing and pleasantly quiet. The distance to the Beach was great, the surrounding tree line area was excellent as it helped to keep the wind at a distance. Lovely walks to either supermarket. Just loved the whole experience.
