Convenient location with a few amenities (restaurants, shops, lightrail) closeby. We had lovely views of the water from our mid level until allocated.

Check in and reception service was smooth, but opening hours were minimal, and so were any further assistance for questions and other matters for the stay.

Parking was a complete joke, and the underground carpark is a tortuous blind maze. Left access was pretty poor, especially when one of two lifts were utilized for removalist, trades, and other sevices.

Unit was suuny, light, and comfortable(somewhat minimally) furnished, but room amenities were old, broken, and unhygenic.

Althought superficially clean, our unit was in desperate need of a deep clean. We found dust balls, gritty/sticky(caked on dust) carpet, and dead/live cockroaches with associated droppings in all areas of the kitchen.

Perhaps a regular schedule of deep clean (carpet shampoo, wipe inside cupboards, pest treatment, dryclean throws/cushions/couch) would have made a difference. First 2days of our stay was spent buying cleaning products and additionally cleaning the unit.

Our scheduled weekly “service” didnt turn up, and reception wasnt able to specify a time for their visit.

For the price, I think there are better accomodation options, and we are unlikely to return.

We stayed on the 29th floor in a superb 2 bedroom apartment with amazing views of the Southport Broadwater and pacific ocean. We stayed here for the Red Hot Summer show which was literally right across the highway from the apartment!! Our apartment was large, luxurious and immaculately clean. We were disappointed we could only stay for 2 nights 😪😪. We would definitely stay here again as we loved our short stay!!

Firstly the WOTIF property name is nowhere on the property; this is NOT Brighton on Broadway Shores, the property is named as Shores and that was VERY hard to find.

Secondly their is nowhere to park prior to booking in unless you know there are bays available underground for shoppers

Thirdly identification of underground parking bays is ATROCIOUS and added another 30 minutes to the check in process

Fourth, the lift key fob provided did NOT WORK and I was stranded in the lift (without phone reception) for another 30 minutes until let out by a resident using the car park

The unit itself was VERY nice and well worth the price; the location after day one proved excellent and the A/Hours support was very good, thanks

A Little Disappointing

Communication leading up to our stay was great. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the apartment was quite hot as there was no cooling on and it took a long while for it to cool. On the second night it was a little cool through the night but there was only a sheet on one of the beds. No blanket or doona. Outdoor furniture on the balcony was a 2 seater only, even though it was a 2 bedroom and 4 of us staying, and the balcony furniture was quite old and needs replacing. Would have expected much better for the price we paid.

Our one-bedroom unit was large and well-appointed, and had the most wonderful views over the Broadwater. I understand that there are units with more bedrooms available.

Dirty kitchen cupboards, carpets, material bed head etc. Bathrooms & kitchen need a good clean. The furniture was cheap, old & chipped, nowhere close to the quality captured in their video. Complained to Manager & they advised every room has different owners & some pay to maintain whilst others don't. Very disappointed & feel that the video advertisement of rooms on their website is extremely fraudulent. The only positive is the size of rooms, layout & location.
