Outstanding stay at Sandcastles on Currumbin
Pros:

We recently stayed in a ground‑floor three‑bedroom apartment at Sandcastles on Currumbin Beach and couldn’t be happier with our experience. The location is absolutely superb – just a short stroll to the beach and surf club, and within easy walking distance of local markets, fantastic cafes, and the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. It’s an ideal base where you can park the car and enjoy everything the area has to offer.

The facilities really add to the appeal. The pool area is fantastic and perfect for relaxing or keeping the kids happy, and the BBQ facilities are excellent – well set up, clean, and great for easy holiday meals. The mare extremely welcoming, friendly, and were so helpful throughout our stay. It’s clear they take genuine pride in the property and the experience of their guests.

The apartment itself was immaculate – spotlessly clean, well laid out, and very comfortable. Everything felt well looked after, from the interiors to the common areas. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with lush gardens that give the whole complex a calm, resort‑style feel.

Overall, Sandcastles on Currumbin Beach is a wonderfully managed property in an unbeatable location. We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, high‑quality accommodation option. We’ll definitely be back.

Cons:

Nothing

Overpriced for the dated, dirty apartments.
Pros:

The location and size. Barry was great and very responsive.

Cons:

The cleanliness. The floors were sticky, the last people’s dishes were still in the washer. The sheets felt dusty as if they hadn’t been used after making for weeks.
The stairs. Having a young baby in a pram was hard due to stairs everywhere.
