Our stay was quite concerning as the apartment we got was in dire need of maintenance and cleanliness. The living space was dark and outdated, and the furniture was smelly. That said, it had a good size with ample space for our family. We felt the price was way too high for the condition we found it in.

The apartment was spacious but very dark and outdated. The furniture had a bad smell, and there was noticeable mold and mildew.

The staff at the reception were understanding about our concerns, but ultimately, the responsibility for the apartment condition lies with the owner.

The amenities include a hot tub application, but overall, the facilities were let down by the condition of the apartment itself.

What a wonderful stay we had over New Year! The penthouse was incredibly spacious, giving us the feeling of being in a home rather than a hotel. With beautiful views of the Sunshine Coast and a prime location near the beach, shops, and restaurants, it was just perfect for relaxation. The new management is making great improvements, but the dining options could use a bit more variety. Overall, great value for a memorable family vacation.

I had an amazing stay in one of the penthouses over New Year! The property felt so spacious, like living in a big house with breathtaking views of the Sunshine Coast. The new management is working hard to make improvements, which I really appreciated. However, my earlier stay in a different apartment left much to be desired due to outdated furniture and unpleasant smells, which was quite disappointing. All in all, it’s a great place to relax and unwind despite some discrepancies in the quality of different units.

I recently stayed in an apartment that left much to be desired. While it had a lot of potential with its spacious rooms and nice layout, the overall cleanliness and maintenance was a significant issue that detracted from our experience. The new location we found had much better amenities for the same price, making it a disappointing choice for us.
