Excellent location with direct beach access and great views.
Pros:

Brilliant location. Beach access and views were amazing. Rooms and beds very comfortable and lovely balcony. Car park access very good. Walking distance to great coffee and restaurants.

Cons:

Utilities in the apartment quite sparse - 1.5 toilet rolls for 4 people over 4 nights, minimum milk, no bathroom supplies. Reception closed most of the time. A supply of beach towels would also be appreciated. Please replace the fridge crisper.

Pros:

La llegada al apartamento fue perfecta y las indicaciones de Peter mejor aún. Todo fue muy fácil!! Teniendo en cuenta que no hablamos inglés.
La piscina y jacuzzi maravillosos!!
Con acceso directo a la playa.
Si buscas una zona tranquila es perfecta y cerca de todo!! Tanto si vas a la zona norte o sur de Gold Coast.
El apartamento es correcto.
Volveríamos de nuevo!!

Cons:

Todo bien pero quiza los baños necesitarían una reforma. Aunque no es un comentario negativo.
