We loved the natural surrounds. The gardens and the birds and the kangaroos. We loved the peace and quiet. We thought the rooms needed some love. They were clean and beds made beautifully but the kitchen is outdated...generally a bit outdated.
We were a drive away from any cafe or restaurant.
We could not walk to a cafe.

The pool water quality weren’t exciting. 3. We stayed for 7 nights but no houses keeping. ( They gave us extra dishwash detergent or toilet rolls if we ask though)

Only 15 mins drive away from the Airport and Sunshine Plaza shopping centre.

Ideal for family trip. But if you plan to cook, bring your own knife. Quality and quantity of kitchen utensil wasn’t great. And staff parked their car at the room we stayed, had to wait 1 day to be removed while I had to park at visitors.

We loved the space and the location. The resort amenities and access were wonderful. We appreciated having two undercover parking spaces, there was adequate airconditioning for the space, and the kitchen was reasonably kit out (not enough to easily feed 6 people, but not many kitchens are!).

We were very disappointed at the Sebel pool amenities - there were very limited seating options so we preferred going to Novotel even though it was much more crowded and less convenient.

Our apartment was in desperate need of a deep clean, particularly the walls which don't appear to have been washed in years, and there also appeared to be mold developing on some of the blinds in the main bedroom. The carpet upstairs needs a good wash (it actually need to be completely replaced, but a good wash will help).

Overall we really enjoyed our stay, but maintenance/proper cleaning needs to take place

Fridge did not work and had to be moved to another room. Moved to a sub-standard room compared to the original. Instead of getting a better or equal room, we're moved to a lesser room in size and amenities. Reception charged our card instead of conducting a pre-auth so we are now waiting on our refund. There is no sound proofing between the rooms so you can hear your neighbours next to and above you. Had to endure a party next door on the Friday night as well. Overall very disappointing.

Relaxing Spot

We were 3 couples within one family traveling to the Sunshine Coast to visit elderly relatives. The Sebel Twin Waters worked out perfectly for this - we had enough bedrooms and bathrooms to be practical, as well as shared living spaces and places to hang out and relax. We brought the grandparents over for lunch and the kitchen and outside dining areas were up to the task of catering for 8 people. Young adults loved the pool table and privates pool/spa area, although they did find it too cool.
Likely to become out go-to for these kinds of visits in the future.

Great access to a patrolled beach and beach walks. (Few things in the unit needed fixing… bathroom and toilets need exhaust fans; squeaky shower doors; dishwasher tray broken; and more crockery needed for a family of five)

Beautiful spot

Beautiful property and outlook over the lake. Being on the lake the music travels across it so was very loud when there was a function on at the Novotel but it ended at a reasonable time for adults but would have been very noisy for children trying to get to sleep.

Our initial house was not cleaned when we entered 3.5 hours after the checkin time but this was rectified. Perhaps a quality assurance process needs to be in place before guests enter as this was disappointing after a long drive.

The resort facilities in both the Sebel and Novotel are amazing, well kept and suitable for the whole family as you can access both resorts and all facilities, restaurants, cafes etc in both resorts. My whole family including teenagers used all facilities and the beach which is opposite the resort. This is one of the best places we have visited and will be back.

Large lagoon was fantastic. Fun and also scenic. With a longer stay I hope to try the Catamarans with the kids. But kayaks were very enjoyable to use. We never knew the lagoon with the larger water park so we fortunately did not have that expectation. Also the walking paths were a good size around the complex for a decent walk, and also nicely landscaped. Available free WIFI is great and the Foxtel variety good for the wet nights in we had to relax in front of a show we hadn’t seen already. Perhaps only suggestion would be to repair old umbrellas at pool to provide more shade for parents supervising kids.

The room the kids staed in the walls were filthy, blinds did not pull up or down and there was no cross ventilation. The weekend was humid but there were breezes outside but due to the apartments loation and the fact that there as no cross wind ventilation we had to have air coditioning going 24/7 which for us is not something we enjoyed. Some of the furnishing were tired and need replacing.
The use of the facilities at Twin Waters was a bonus staying in this location.
