The unit was just what we needed. Clean, comfortable, affordable and big enough for a family of five. Location was perfect, right near the beach and a 20min walk to Cavill Ave. Is an older style building that looks to have had some reno's lately, very clean and well maintained. Would only say the bathrooms could use a revamp. But was not a game changer. We would definitely stay here again. The owners were great with communication and any issues are rectified straight away.

Good sized apartment in an older (by Gold Coast standards) building. The apartment fitout was pretty basic with minimal well used furniture but perfectly livable. Located midway between Surfers and Broadbeach but only 150 M from the beach and the nearest transtop. Good value for money.

This property was not at all what I was expecting.

We were disappointed when we checked into the apartment, and noticed it had not been cleaned properly.

The ensuite was also dripping water from the tap which was not fixed or acknowledged when communicated to the host.

We extended our stay for one night due to Cyclone Alfred & our flights having been cancelled. The host showed no empathy and charged us more than what we originally paid per night.

We also had no power on our extra night & our rental car was stuck in the garage.

It's huge for family of 4...kitchen very well equipped.Beds were comfortable. Very near beach. Floor was very dusty though. Communication could have been better... No message was sent to us on how to get in. And we were checking in on Xmas day when the office was closed. We were left sitting on the road outside till expedia stepped in to help us contact the person-in - charge.

Wasnt impressed with this property. I was expecting some sort of air conditioning and there was nothing apart from ceiling fans. One of the single bed bases was broken and seemed ripped and completely shredded on one side. Internet didn't work at all. Couldn't connect to Netflix on the TV. Pool was lovely and parking convenient and easy. I wouldn't stay here again

Fantastic balconies on 3 sides of this property meant that we always had a breeze, this was very fortunate as the aircon in the main bedroom (the only one in the apartment) did not work. The manager was very prompt sending a technician but unfortunatley they were unable to fix it during our 8 day stay.
I would have liked to have an information booklet about the apartment, as there was no information. Eg swimming pool / sauna / bbq access. Or how to check out. There is no reception here.
Overall, we had a good stay.

Great location. Needs a clean and fixing items

We were in apartment 25, it wasexcellent views and location was great. The bed was comfortable and sheets clean. The kitchen was clean on the surface, but i wouldn't use the utensils - they need a wash and replacing. The outdoor setting on the balcony was broken and chair dangerously wobbly, the balcony hadn't been cleaned in a very long time. Therewas only a Tv, no stereo, no dvd player etc. Bathroom not really clean. No laundry detergent, tea towel and we were refused more than 1 toilet roll. Bathtoom railings were not fixed to the wall either. Wifi was slow also. Aircon unit above the bed was VERY dirty and rattled, curtain off the track and a bit useless also.
Dirty nappy located in one of the drawers :(
We arrived late at night and the next morning the manager let himself in our apartment whilst we were sleeping asking us to pay him.
Upon checkout, strictly at 10am, there was noone to check us out nor instructions on what to do with keys.
I would not pay more than $100 a night.

Surprising! GREAT property for the price

Wow, I must say I was VERY surprised at how good this place was! It was clean, fresh, updated and very modern. It was a BIG roomy and spacious apartment. The service was 100% friendly and the staff wanted to help out. They manager was real and open and treated me like a human and not a number (like so many do).

The apartment was huge; whilst its an old building like most Gold Coast high-rises a lot of work as been done to keep the apartments and building modern and relevant.

I recommend this property to ANYONE.

Less than 100 meters to a beautiful beach!

Very convenient quiet one bedroom apartment with all kitchen and living room facilities. Laundry machines, even with soap ready to use! Cool air from the windows permitted me not to need air-conditioning. Closed curtains gave both privacy and kept the hot sun from heating up the bedroom during the day. Woolworth's grocery within 10 minutes drive. Sage Cafe gives you 40% off dinner from 5pm to 6pm! Worth it because eating out in Australia is expensive! Easy access to shops if you rent a car.

Disappointing

Very tired looking needed a good spruce up. Couldn't use oven due to filth, hand basin marked and grubby, only one poorly fitting plug for both bath and basin. Could only have one appliance on at time as power overload went. Was there 8 days and had to make do with one set of towels the whole time, did have a good laundry thank goodness. To be charged a dollar for a new roll of loo paper after we had used the quarter roll that was there when we arrived was the pits.

Unclean and neglected

I've stayed in 6 Gold Coast apartments in the past 2 years, Warringa is the only one I don't recommend. It was unclean (including unclean dishes in the cupboards and dirty windows and grime everywhere), reception could barely speak english and the furniture was cheap and old.
No wonder the price was cheaper.

A nice apartment in a quiet part of Surfers.

We were in a garden view one bedroom apartment on the first floor. It had a separate bedroom with large mirrored wardrobe, bathroom with walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, laundry and then a combined lounge/dining and kitchen. off the lounge was a quite large balcony overlooking the garden. There is only an A/C unit in the bedroom plus a ceiling fan and a ceiling fan in the lounge. A good breeze comes in through the windows but a lack of security grills means the windows cannot be left open. With the bedroom facing the street some traffic noise was a nuisance. All in all we had decided that we could live in the apartment as it was NOT a studio apartment and it was very cosy. We were assigned our own undercover car park which required a key to access or leave and a key to enter into the building proper.

The Hotel needs to be updated as the room we were in was dated with badly marked carpet sliding doors that did not work properly, there was no door on the shower and the bed room door would not close. There is a lot of road noise with buses and trucks operating from early morning. It is close to the beach and the bed linen was clean with friendly and efficient check in staff.

Pleasant experience

It was close to the beach, only down side to our accomodation was no air conditioning and we had to leave the windows open, which allowed for the noise to come through. The noise was the only draw back as there was a lot of buses etc passing every 10-15 minis. The hotel was central to all the places that we went being, 1.8km from cavill avenue so we were able to walk to. Broadbeach plaza was only 5 mins away.

Nice stay

Overall the hotel was a nice stay. It was close to the beach, a nice cafe and shopping. The staff were friendly and accommodating.

On the downside, there were too many rules for the price of this hotel. Guests are required to clean the kitchen and remove rubbish to the basement in the garage. The washing machine didn't work at first but was quickly fixed and you were expected to check out before 10 am. Also, WiFi was extra on top of an already pricey room.
