Pros:

I had an amazing stay at this place! It's right on the beach, which is perfect for enjoying the sun and waves. The location is also close to the airport, shops, and cafes, making it super convenient. The rooms were beautiful and impeccably clean, and the bed was incredibly comfy. I really enjoyed the bar/cafe/reception area, it was an awesome place to relax and unwind, especially during happy hour. Highly recommend!

Excellent, good vibes, right on the beach and close to everything.
Pros:

The location was excellent due to it being right on the beach front. This allowed us to walk to breakfast in the morning, and Kirra was easily accessible for our dinner on the night that we stayed at Tessa's.

Very peaceful place with happy staff.
Pros:

Right on the beach! A little out of Coolangatta but a good walk and easy cycle. Regular buses at the door up and down the Gold Coast and locally and to the nearby Coolangatta Airport. It was wonerfully peaceful at night with the only sound of the waves and a cool sea breeze.

Lovely vibe and beautiful spot on the oceanfront. A very comfortable stay.
Pros:

Location was excellent. Easy access from airport for a quick trip to Gold Coast.

Cons:

More bikes available during the daytime. Also some of them needed servicing. But they are a great asset to the accomodation!
Pool was a little cold, but the ocean was lovely.
