This was our second trip to the Mirage at Alexandra heads - The property is fantastic, it is quiet, safe and has everything you need for a family getaway.
We have 2 children one with special needs, and he were completely at ease in the calm environment - which makes for a bit of relaxation for the parents!!!!
We stayed in a 3 bedroom appartment which had everything you need and was very clean (which is my strongest need!!) There is good air con but not in the bedrooms (though some appartments do have it) - we didn't find it too bad even with the 35 deg temperatures.
There are 3 pools and a spa of which the biggest is a walk in pool so is great for granny who came with us. And a tennis court (though we didn't use this...)
The park was a short 2 minute walk from the resort with a pond that the children loved watching the fish flying into the air, and there is a bowling alley next door to the resort - what more do you need???
Pure Bliss........
The staff were very friendly and the great BBQ area by the pool with shaded tables were perfect in the evenings.
We will definately be back again a

Just returned from 1 week holiday - with family of 5 - accomodation was the 3 bedroom apartment. The apartment was exactly as we had hoped, plenty of room - the childrens rooms - separate from the main room.. decent kitchen - balcony with views towards the beach. Aircond in the main living area, and fans throughout were more than enough to handle the temps that we had. Only 500 metres beach - and close to general shops.
all

The pool area was OK, though slightly smaller than what we had expected - about 10 deck chairs - make it a little difficult to get a seat when there are a number of people in that area. But in the big picture- that was not a major concern.
We didn't have much to do with the 'management/staff' - but the contact we had was very pleasant and courteous - and they were most willing to help with queries we had. Tennis court and basket ball area - is great for kids.
We had a room that backed onto the bowling alley next door - we had some minor noise issues from that area in the morning a couple of times, but once again not a major issue.
One small point - the doors from the units are self closing - and quite loud when allowed to close on their own - which means if any of the other 3 units sharing your floor - allow to close their doors at night on their own - everyone is able to hear it..once again not a major issue..

Accommodation was fantastic, clean, modern & wonderful for our family of 6!!! Grounds were lovely, playground across the way, handy to shops & beach & restaraunts. Never had such great customer service.

Only problems for us which were minor were undercover parking entry not high enough with pod on. Had to unload & remove pod to park securely (there is plenty of visitor parking spaces though not undercover), & I recommend they need a fridge & washing up area in pool section as other accommodation we have stayed at have.

Wonderful place to stay & will be back again...even got to see NYE fireworks from balcony!!

Our family stayed in a lovely three bedroom unit for a full week and absolutely loved it. The unit had everything we needed, was lovely and clean and overlooked the pool and park with nice views of the ocean.
It was very family friendly. The kids especially loved the pool which was perfect for children with so much space to play.
I would recommend the Mirage to anyone and everyone because not only is it a lovely place to be, it is close to so much on the the Sunshine Coast.
A real home away from home! Thanks for a great stay!!
