The apartment was beautiful and spacious it was also very clean. We loved everything except for us a big reason why we wouldn’t rebook is there was no aircon in bedroom two and three in the three bedroom apartment and they were uncomfortably hot. Such a shame for a property of this high standard

For a brand new property their was a lot of builders defects plus intercom was smashed and not working. Could only get 1 key. Unit was very loud as situated over the pool area with a lot of concrete and other guests were using the facilities after pool hours. Unit wasn't cleaned to a professional standard, things were still left in the dishwasher??? Housekeeping definitely needs training. Staff just walked straight into our room without knocking on the door. I would stay at the property again but not in this room type. I think it was expensive for the fact it is still a semi-building site! Location was excellent and in close proximity to Kawana Sporting Complex.

Nice room, poor cust service & a deposit of 153+

Had a mixed stay; the apartment was modern, great bedroom, comfortable bed, bathroom, kitchen and living space. The only negative of the room itself was that the bins hadn’t been emptied, which felt dirty. Also, the hallways have a real lingering bin smell from the shoots but this doesn’t make its way into the rooms. In terms of location, it’s immediate surroundings are residential but there’s a few cool coffee shops on the road, Kawana centre across the road and a quiet beach within reach whilst Mooloolaba within a short drive. The problems came with the remote late check-in process, and the quite cold, to the point and abrupt in-person customer service. We booked 2 rooms and I was arriving late due to a game, so my fiance and her friend headed to the property early where they were able to get 1 room key, for the friend, but my fiance was refused the key for our room as they needed my ID — really not the end of the world. On arriving at the property, I realised I never received a message or email to explain how I check-in — just a message which said I will need to put a 1 $ deposit, no directions on how to do this. So I scoured around a late check-in machine and found a number, which I rang. The remote lady didn’t know most of the details and asked me to put a 154$ deposit before giving me the code for our room, not the 1$. She didn’t know what parking space I should use and there was no information when I opened the box. Next day, the receptionist had little interest.

The apartment was lovely, great location and nice and new. Our only gripe was we checked in late which we had advised reception of, there were no instructions as to how to access our apartment, some residents told us to try the stairs which we did discovering the only way back out was down through reception. My husband called to be told that all the information should have been in an envelope with our key (there was nothing else). Once we found the room almost 45 minutes later, there were no towels in our room (there were 2 towels in the 2nd bedroom but none in the main bedroom). Not a big deal but just annoying when you have paid for something and there is no attention to detail.

Clean but customer service can be better

Property itself was very nice and clean cuz it’s brand new. However counter staff wasn’t that kind to Asian and I felt like I was treated with that stereotypical vibe, which I pretended I didn’t care at the time so that loses 1 star. Also they said wifi may not work due to still in construction stage and gave me an alternative way to connect, but that didn’t work either. Be prepared to use your own data
