We found the one bedroom apartment very spacious with very good amenities. it was very clean with 2 smart TV's including one in the bedroom. The location is excellent because it is just across the road from a large shopping centre, 5 minute walk to the beach including a surf club so the overall experience was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lowanna Beach Resort.
