A stay here is an absolute must—definitely add it to your travel list!
Pros:

Our stay was fantastic. The apartment had everything we needed and lacked nothing. The views were absolutely stunning—we could have sat for hours just watching them. The cleanliness was exceptional, and the bed was comfortable with no sagging at all. Happy days!

Cons:

The only minor issue we experienced was that the cable connected to the Foxtel box seemed to be a little loose, so the connection would occasionally drop. Other than that, everything was excellent.

Pros:

Very nice large open bright apartment lots of windows looking to the ocean balcony had a great view of the water

Cons:

It's not very wheelchair friendly as the corridors getting from one room to the next is very tight for someone in a wheelchair as my father is but other than that the apartment is very good

It was a great location , clean and tidy , great view from balcony , but a few issues that hopefully have been rectified
Pros:

Location was great . We dealt with a lovely staff member who I think was called Jay. (
Sorry if I got that wrong ) , But a blonde haired lady . Very professional and friendly .

Cons:

It was extremely noisy , the bedrooms were very noisy with wind and outside noise . Having stayed in Moolooloba a number of times we know what to expect, the noise in our unit from outside plus from windows not completely sealed was a lot to deal with . We had a number of other issues I will address directly with Malibu. Could have been better stocked regarding bigger microwave bowls , oven mitts etc .

Older style beachfront unit in the heart of Mooloolaba
Pros:

Location was fantastic, close to attractions, restaurants and bars. Our apartment was clean and tidy. Car parking was included in the price and was very handy. View was very nice.

Cons:

Bed could have been more comfortable. Spa was heated but still too cold to spend time enjoying it. Some aspects were showing signs of age.
