The staff at reception was helpful. They held our bags after we checked out until we picked them up on the way to the airport. The reception hours are limited so you have to make special arrangements if you are checking in or out after hours. The hotel is near many restaurants and shops and close to the beach and walking distance to the wharf. The room was comfortable but we were given a room on the second floor which was less desirable than ones higher up. It was a good place to stay for our couple day trip to Mooloolaba.

Really clean and modern, staff were lovely. Just a few things that were bothersome, there wasn’t a lot of space in the lounge area as there was quite a lot of furniture for the small space. The apartment would really benefit from some block out blinds as the sun shines straight into your eyes in the main bedroom each morning, the bed is also not very comfortable. We really loved the rainfall shower head, the cleanliness and the beautiful views of the glasshouse mountains. Overall good experience, could just do with a few minor changes.

The apartment was very good, great shower but water leaked under door. Good tv with free fox and wifi. The name “First Light” gave me expectations of a bright light filled accomodation however as it was on the lowest level we only had glimpses of sky let alone water glimpses. I guess someone has to end up here but I’d only stay again on a higher floor.

A lovely property in a great area, with our only issue being the size of the unit (802) is very small. There is only a 2 seater lounge in a very small living area. For a couple it is OK however this is a 2 bedroom unit. I would hate to have 4 people in here. The unit was spotlessly clean and the staff very friendly. It is walking distance to the Esplanade and Coles shopping centre. We recommend for a couple. It is good value for money.
