My husand & I stayed for 2 nights on the May longweekend in apartment 8 on the first floor. The apartment was huge and had a lovely view of the ocean. The apartment has just been recently painted and was very clean and well looked after. The resort is in a quiet street and just a quick walk up the... More

Room beautiful and view sublime, best part was hearing the ocean all night and the birds all day. Could see the ocean while lying in bed, can't get much better! I was in room two for a whole week in April and loved it. More

We stayed two nights in the penthouse apartment 12. When we first opened the door, the view took our breath away. The location was convenient (especially by car) to the main town area of Rainbow Beach but was really nice being away from all the noise of a town. Mark was great, helping us in advance booked a trip to... More

Hi Kathy32530 We have to agree that at 87m (270ft) above the ocean the views are absolutely breathtaking of Rainbow Beach and Fraser Island from your room. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you again next time you are in Australia. More

We stayed in "penthouse 12" in feb 2012, we Loved the view and the friendly service.... However the room should not be called a penthouse, this is very deceiving. It was just another room "the same as the rest" but on the top floor, the floors throughout the unit were floating timber floors that needed maintenance as they creaked all... More

My partner and I stayed here for three wonderful days. I wish we had never had to leave. Mark and Tanya went above and beyond to make our trip special and it was greatly appreciated. The views are truly amazing and the room was absolutely beautiful. The pool was great too. I know I am waxing lyrical, but try it... More

Wanted to spend a few nights somewhere special to mark 50 years married!! Read a QWeekend review of Ocean Palms which proved to be spot on! Hosts Mark & Tanya made us very welcome. Complex is beautifully maintained, apartment spotless and well equipped. From the penthouse the views are stunning but all apartments would have spectacular views. The walk into... More

Stayed in 2 bedroom apartment - 11 - for two nights over a weekend. The views are amazing. The apartment was clean with will kept furniture. The pool area was also nice, the pool was heated but the weather was still a little cool to have a comfortable swim! One thing that was lacking - the pool area could use... More

Modern, clean, well equipped, good quality furnishings, quiet road, fantastic views and clearly in the 4/5 star category. Everything was large: Room, TV, Bedroom, Bed, Spa Bath etc. Receptionist was friendly and chatty and everything worked well. Very good for access to the Double Point Lighthouse track and Carlo Sandblow, but perhaps best to drive if going to the beach.... More

These apartments are excellent. We spent a month travelling from Cairns to Brisbane and stayed mostly in apartments and I would have to say these were one of the best. Many of the Q'land apartments are looking tired but these are right up there - first rate. Very clean, well appointed with great fridge/freezer, oven and hob to self cater... More
