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!

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.

Not happy

The receptionist was very rude even made us pay a security deposit and not one other person that checked in when we did they even came and told us that they didnt have too pay a security deposit.. she made us feel uncomfortable judging us by the way we look as we are experiencing a rough time in our lives going through homelessness as my partner had accident at work and cut his arm severely with a grinder so we wanted a warm cossy place for a night. Instead we were made to feel like lower class citizens. Also would not accept a clear photo of my license or Proof of Age card that I had saved on my phone for moments when I don't have my physical id on hand which were both valid.

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.
