Pleasant surprise.

Pros: location and serenity
Cons: Freshen up the paint work, replace kitchen top bench, check all plumbing and fix if necessary, new or cleaned lounges.
Location: Easy to find, centrally located, would suit football fans of the Titans.
Thought that this was some kind of resort, not a town house in a gated community. Kids on scooters and bikes riding everywhere without helmets and no regard for cars. Initials carved in the kitchen counter and the whole place was just a bit tired looking. Was quite happy with the canal site and was overall comfortable. Downstairs toilet takes hours to refill, and en-suite cold tap leaked all the time and no staff to leave a report with, and old census papers still at the door.

I apologise for not responding sooner to your feedback. We are aware that some of the units require updating & this has taken place in 3 of the units since your stay. We are in constant communication with owners as to the upgrading of the units. I'm sorry you experienced a couple of maintenance issues. Guests are invited to ring the resorts' number & report issues to our night service which get passed on to us so we are able to address the issue promptly. We are also working with the Body Corporate to address the issue of bike riding within the complex. I do hope you enjoyed your stay & you may consider staying with us again in the future. Regards Liz/Reservations

Very spacious with nice view

Clean & spacious apartment. Staff were welcoming & very helpful. Downside is that unit is somewhat outdated, coffee table had a massive dent/hole in it, but otherwise, very happy

I apologise for the very late reply - I thought I had actually replied ages ago. I'm pleased you had an enjoyable stay. We are aware that some of the units do require updating & we are always communicating with owners as to what could be done to upgrade units. I'm not sure what unit ou stayed in but if it's the one I think it is (due to your comment about coffee table) then I am happy to advise that the unit has been updated somewhat & the coffee table has been replaced. We look forward to welcoming you back at sometime in the future. Regards Liz/Reservations

Thank you for your feedback. So lad you all enjoyed your stay. I'm sorry about the cockroaches - the units are pest controlled yearly but unfortunately the units are easily accessed for these harmless but nasty little blighters. We are in the process of organising twice yearly inspections as we are aware that they are more prevalent in the summer months here in Queensand. Hope to see you again sometime. Regards Liz/Reservations

Pros: Close to beach, shops, clubs. Great value for money. Fantastic pool.
Cons: We requested that the rooms have one double bed and two singles and got two doubles. We didn't mind enough to ask them to relocate us though.
Nice and inexpensive food at Sailfish Cove's restaurant. They also do takeaway.
