Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We stopped at Kirra Beach whilst visiting Cooly Rocks on Sunday, the beach ⛱️ was great and a nice spot to relax. I was lucky enough to get a carpark opposite the beach as it was jam packed, not too many people in the water. Has a beautiful restaurant located on the corner and clean public toilets.

    A beautiful beach, very clean and there are life guards every day. The beach can be seen from many coffee shops, restaurants and apartments, very picturesque.

    OMG! What a place! The views were phenomenal, the water was the perfect blue and it just looked like a picture. We stopped by enroute travelling back down to Sydney and I’m so glad we did.

    This is a nice beach with free parking and clear water. Gets sunny during noon time. Nice view of the surroundings and soft sand.

    Plenty of free parking and a nice walk to Snapper Rocks only about 1km away. Paved trail for a pram available. Beach itself was pristine and lots of sand and shallow water for relaxing play with a child

    This monument is close to the other monuments (sunken war ship) and makes for an excellent history tour

    Visiting Coolangatta many years ago I could see this beautiful church at night — what drew me to it was the lovely blue neon cross lit up the night . It made me feel Gods presence and I felt calm. Would love to see a photo of it lit up if someone could post. M.

    Visited a few times whilst staying at Mantra from 14th June to 18th June. We just used the Woollies store to get a few things and the hotel at street level. It's the only supermarket in Coolangatta now unless you want to drive to Tweed Heads.

    As St Peter’s was my church growing up it is distressing to me to see the sign which says the site will be built on in the near future and in it’s place a high rise building will stand there.

    A delightful congregation in a quaint chapel style church where the Sermons are interesting and meaningful.
