The place was good for a weekend beach getaway, walkable distance from the beach, and clean and tidy. The pool was small so at times was overcrowded. There was only one air conditioner in the living area so we found the downstairs bedrooms hot. The beds aren’t the best we’ve slept in! But overall a good spot for a weekend beach getaway. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

The staff are wonderful and very accommodating. The facilities are great and the kids loved playing basketball and tennis. Some of the appliances in the apartment were a little outdated e.g. the ceiling fan in the main bedroom only had one setting that worked. It made a loud clicking noise too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay though and will definitely stay there again in the future.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Small complex, many rooms with no view or a view to the fence or next house windows. The complex is outdated, very small pool with literally no room in the pool area. Bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen/dining/launge are all very small. In the master bedroom we had a towel rail screwed to tge sliding door at the chest level , we both hurt our shoulders a few times against the rail, plus this rail made impossible to open or close a shower screen with the closed sliding door! Such a big contrast comparing to some properties in Noosa within the same price range. Regretted booking here.

We are sorry you didn't enjoy your stay with us, I would have to disagree with you that our rooms have no views, in fact all our townhouse balcony's overlook the pool/spa and tennis court area, which most of our guests love! We love that fact that our resort is a small boutique style, the apartments are 77m2 and for a 2 bedroom apartment with two bathrooms this is an easily acceptable size, they are also fully maintained and updated frequently.

Great little place to stay
The owner/manager was so kind and helpful. He obviously cared for the complex very much. The apartment was a little dated but extremely clean and had obviously just been painted. The kitchen was very well equipped but lacked a coffee maker of any sort. It was well situated close to the beach, pub and grocery store by foot. The pool was sparkling clean and perfect for kids.

When I booked through Wotif it came up as 2 bedroom airconditioned apartment. But when we went there it was town house which was very disappointing. One bed room upstairs & the other downstairs. With two little children it wasn't good. Wotif should make more facilities to help people find out what they exactly get specially when you book on line. People deserve to know what they exactly get. Surprises good if it's a good one.

Quiet & close to everything
With 2 children under 4, internal stairs made it a difficult weekend. Murray, the manager, was lovely & did his very best to help us out with safety gates to keep our one year old safe & fix the few issues we had. Despite the advertising on the website, there are actually no single level 3 bedroom apartments available to the general public. I would consider staying here again when my children are older & stairs are not an issue.

Thank you Mel for your review. Glad we were able to assist with the safelty gates for the stairway. For your information, we do have one single level apartment in the letting pool; however, it was booked the weekend you were with us. We look forward to welcoming you back to stay with us when next you are visiting beautiful Coolum Beach. Best wishes Murray & Carmel, Managers
