Pros:

Great location. Pool and bbq service

Cons:

The property is full of signs about keeping clean and the property doesn’t provide literally anything to make this happen. We asked about at least some dish-soap and not replied.
We felt absolutely not welcomed at all.

It met our expectations.
Pros:

Beach view was excellent but would go to the front next time if available.

Cons:

Nothing really just toilet bit close to the shower for getting in and out and the floor step up in the kitchen catches you of guard for tripping.

Pros:

Our stay at Spindrift was good. It was close to the venues we attended. The pool was clean and handy for the kids to have fun. The furniture was a bit old, especially the bunk bed was squeaking in the quiet of the night. Also the kitchen utensils were not that clean. Overall, I think it was ok. We hardly stayed in so didn't feel it so much.

Absolutely perfect for what we needed and would have liked to stay there longer.
Pros:

The location was perfect - Nobbys beach is a lovely (low rise) part of the long Gold Coast beach. We enjoyed walks along the beach in the morning and the hot tub in the evening.

Cons:

Nothing really. I couldn’t get the dryer to work but didn’t get around to asking what I needed to do so we dried in the sunshine.
