The apartments are aesthetically pleasing, and their location across from shops and cafes is highly convenient. Recently constructed, the development is nearing completion of its on-site restaurant, which will hopefully enhance the modern, minimalist aesthetic. I eagerly anticipate returning to experience the restaurant and its high-quality offerings. Exciting times Lowanna!

What a fantastic location! Easily accessible being only a block back from Kawana beach & surf club, across the road from well equipped shopping centre with plenty of majors to keep you busy on a rainy day, quiet & safe. Generously proportioned apartment with good natural light yet private and perfectly clean. New building with some minor teething issues, but would have no hesitation in recommending these apartments as a place to stay.

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

The apartments are brand new & set out beautifully. Designed smart & very spacious. Beds are super comfy. Everything that we needed for our stay was provided & even the skincare / toiletries provided are nice natural products with organic ingredients. Groceries & restaurants are very close & accessible. Looking forward to staying there again.
