Gorgeous, well stocked rooms that were spotless. The mattress was very firm tho (and I usually like a firm mattress but this was a bit much). Fabulous location and the restaurant downstairs was wonderful. Would stay again.

The unit is new, comfortable and perfect. It had everything you need even a fresh cold jug if water in the fridge. The property is easy to find, parking was simple and its opposite a shopping mall with everything you need & more. A short 5-10 min walk to an incredible beach. I found the ocean to have lots of fun waves and water temp warmer than up in Hervey Bay. I highly recommend this property.
The perfect ocean!

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!

Stayed for one night for business purposes. Room and view weren't anything to write home about but room was clean and functional. I requested a king bed due to back issues and an early check in, and both were granted. However bed was two singles together so not very comfortable. Soap and shampoo dispensers in shower were completely empty. I enjoyed my stay. Lobby could do with a key drop as reception was unmanned when I went to check out.

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

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.
