Because of the terrible booking in process I would not stay again (See above
Pros:

, ],T he unit was spacious, Comfortable, Clean, good WIFI centrally located

Cons:

I did not like the method Accommodation Noosa the letting agents this property. They asked unnecessary questions letting agents and required identification quoting Government regulatory guidelines. This was more in line with a long term Residential rental agreement than a simple holiday let. On this current trip to Queensland, I have not been subjected to the same intensive questioning or to produce any official ID in the other eight properties I have stayed in. I can't stand un-necessary paperwork or demands for ID whilst hiding behind spurious government rules. Even when I sent a copy of my driving licence by email they demanded I resend it by my mobile phone which I refused to do. They then said I had to visit their office in Hastings Street a place where it is impossible to get a car park within two km in business hours, however another employee sent the key code on the morning of my arrival. Another point is that to secure the booking it had to be paid for at time of booking and so they had the use of my money from the April till July. This is the sixth time I have stayed in Noosa and have never had a similar problem in booking in to any other property. Because of this I will not be staying in this or any property managed by Accommodation Noosa if pre warned they are the agent. It is a shame because this was a pleasant property to stay in. But I can’t countenance un-necessary hogwash.

Pros:

Lovely comfortable apartment and location.

Cons:

I did not enjoy the email harassment I received regarding pre checkin. I do not give photo Id and personal info over the internet. My payment, name, email and phone had already been supplied I did not see the necessity for further info.

We had a good stay, slept well, we stayed in unit one and would highly recommend for families
Pros:

The position was good for us...the apartment was in good order and very clean

Cons:

The door code failed at one stage and took approx an hour to rectify.
There was no frypan. The one supplied was in very poor condition, just get a decent stainless steel pan with a lid.

Good
Pros:

The location. OK for short stay but do not recommend for anything other than a few days.

Cons:

Substandard facilities for an exorbitant price over xmas. A lack of maintenance and responsibility to fix issues stating it requires owners approval for basic requirements e.g. broken outdoor furniture. For a long stay weekly service is poor. Black mould on decking. Would never use this agency again.

Dated and overpriced
Pros:

Location was good neighbours were nice

Cons:

Not all properties are to the same standard, the nicer one is pictured first. We did not get that!

I think the properties should be advertised separately.

We stayed in one that was very dated and not worth the money. For a four night stay we were not provided with any additional bin bags and no additional toilet paper. Also no internet, the house book said use an internet cafe lol!
