Pool was too cold ( we thought it was heated ) also didn’t realise our private pool was on another level via a lift. Also the bathroom roof was leaking quite badly and had ants.

We had a great family stay. The 2nd bedroom and bathroom was great for our 17yo to have to herself. The facilities of th
Pros:

Great location with beach across the road, cafes and restaurants in walking distance and downstairs also. The staff were so lovely and helpful too.

Cons:

Not much to dislike, just the rubbish truck coming at 7am every day out the front but wear some earplugs to sleep and it’s fine. Also the window between the bedroom & bathroom should be filled in, not just shaded-for privacy reasons!

The Best to Date
Pros:

We have been going to Kirra for breaks the last 5-6 years and have stayed in different accomodation along Kirra Beach. This one is seriously the best to date. Cleanliness public areas, staff were great, always acknowledge you and are very happy ladies. They found out it was my birthday then that afternoon there was wine and chocolates left at the door.
Apart from the pressie, which they did not have to do. Just added to the great experience. That will be our go to for trips now.
