    Unfortunately the council were doing works on the roadway/ footpath in front of the units so our view and peacefulness was not happening.

    Good location …close to beach and Tugun Surf Club. Not far from Coolangatta Airport

    It was hard to find where the entrance was and how to get into the drive way. There was banging noises on what seems to be the walls all night which kept me awake. Not sure where they were coming from.

    The location was great. It was on the beach.

    The bbq is shared between the whole block and gets quite busy. Also was not clean so we ordered Indian. Not sure why they didn't give each apartment their own bbq as there is plenty of space. Also there is no alternative cooking as the kitchen has no stovetop. I expected a working kitchen and a Queen bed for the price but it was still a lovely location. Don't pick the 2 b/r with ocean view if you like privacy.

    Great location. Modern apartment with polished concrete floors. Great shower/bathroom with washing machine and dryer. Perfect if you love to go for an early morning swim. The beach is right on your doorstep.

    I gave it a 9/10 as the master bed was like sleeping on a concrete floor. I didn't try the others, but my kids said the beats were harder than their at home.

    This apartment is huge with 3 bedrooms and a big kitchen. It was very clean, and the beds were made up with fresh linen. A blanket and pillow were provided. Towels were also provided. Walking distance to the water too.

    Shocking access to carpark. We stayed in unit 6 and would definately avoid this unit due to the carpark and also knocking sounds during the night-presumably water pressure in the pipes.

    Location was great- close to beach, shops, surf clubs. Apartment was clean and had everything we needed for an overnight stay.

    There were a few small detail things that I didnt think were up to standard I would expect of a property / price such as this: - The blind in the bedroom didnt even cover the window properly (lack of privacy and bright in the morning) - The door to the bathroom was stuck (couldnt close it) - The ceiling fan was wobbly and a bit noisy - There was a window in the shower which meant a lack of privacy (other apartments could see in). I thought this was strange and assume it was to allow a view of the beach/sea (only place in the apartment) - Corrosion on toilet cistern buttons - The fridge wasnt turned on when I arrived

    The location was fantastic - just metres from a beautiful golden beach! The apartment was mostly good - apart from a few small details listed below

    Couldn’t get the hot plates on the stove working - no lighter or matches. Very few coat hangers. Mattresses in 2nd and 3 bedrooms uncomfortable - suggest toppers.

    It worked well for 3 friends staying overnight. Great location.

    It was really good. If it wasn't for the dust and bad smell of the couch, it would have been perfect.

    Some parts of the apartment are dusty and obviously weren't cleaned for a long time. Examples are: washing machine, when you ooen it, you can see a LOT of dust, the ceiling fans have dusts all over (you can even see them hanging). The couches smelled so bad I even wanted to wash them myself that's why we had a couple of blankets put over them and sprayed some perfume to mask the bad smell.

    The location is stunning and perfect. The layout of the apartment works well with the location.
