Nice and spacious apartment, 180 degree beach views, pool, tennis court and gym. We stayed for Marathon event and it’s very close by starting and finishing, even the course is just underneath front on the road.

One of the best locations on the Gold Coast. The managers were excellent to deal with and made our stay most enjoyable. The views from our apartment were magnificent and the property had fantastic amenities. We would highly recommend The Waterford to anyone wanting a self contained apartment centrally located on the Gold Coast. We will be back.

Our 2 bedroom apartment had the most amazing view that went up and down the beach, and you could see the river and canals from the bathroom. The facilities such as the pool area were very well maintained and spotless. The management were very friendly. We will be back!
The Waterford location is amazing, there are not too many apartments where you can see whales from your balcony!
There are plenty of great dining options nearby on Tedder Avenue, plus the tram is also very close, so we didn't need to hire a car.
The room was spacious, and pool was amazing.
