Amazing little gem, right on the Gold Coast highway. Don't let the outside fool you, beyond the gate a freshly renovated modern beach side accommodation. Rooms surround a fresh inviting pool area. The beach a few blocks down the street completes the stay. The staff were amazingly friendly and accommodating. Absolutely stay again given the need.

Way overpriced for what you get - which isn;t much. Its not kept clean as there are large dust balls all over the floor. The kettle and nespresso machine are old and dirty. Towels are stained. Would not recommend.
