We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, thanks to the friendly and professional staff who made us feel very welcome. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, which was perfect for our family. We absolutely loved the beach in Mooloolaba and would happily stay here again.

Wonderfully helpful and friendly staff, great location and the pool was nice. Our apartment was well equipped, however it needs a bit of a deep clean as it does have a bit of a smell. The roller blinds have some mould spots on them, the couch cushions were a bit smelly & there was a bit of cobweb on the wall and ceiling in one of the rooms.

Well-appointed units, flawless check-in with online precheck-in, which made it very easy. Good parking and easy to find. We got a free upgrade to the penthouse, which was a nice touch. Great location for everything in Mooloolaba is within walking distance. Thank you - We will be back again!
