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.
Right on the beach, only a bike track between you and the sea, so a great view. We walked about 7 minutes up the beach to the Tugun lifesavers, coffee, grocery & dining options, so hardly used the car. Visitors could park easily in the side street. Property has a swimming pool & spa. Large spacious 2 bedroom unit, so a great place for a relaxing holiday.

San simeon beachfront units at tugun are the perfect location for a relaxing beachfront holiday. The units are clean and well equipped. Bedrooms and living area overlook the beach. The amenities are great. There is a pool with bbq area, a tennis court and a rooftop spa. Great value for money. Shops,tavern and surf club a 10 minute walk. Bus at door. Staff on premises were always friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely spot on! We booked hurriedly to arrange a week's stay when other arrangements fell apart and we struck gold. The view, the breeze, the beach access, the range of restaurants, the pool, all just perfect. It really is a hidden little gem, the beach walk, north or south is a perfect start to the day and our apartment was in perfect condition and had a whole range of small extra's...... like a beach umbrella and beach seats, toys for kids and loads of other bits and pieces. We checked in on Sat, keys easy to access and was a park space. My only small complaint would be the cost saving on the small things, one garbage gag, one dishwasher tablet and one toilet roll in each of the two toilets. When booking for 4 people for a week, i would have thought this would have been taken into consideration. Anyway, small thing that doesn't detract from what is a lovely experience.

We were quoted for a family holiday and secured booking with a deposit. Days later we were told it was now another $1600 more as they mucked up. Illegal. They would not budge then refunded us $150 less. Terrible experience and stress for no holiday.

Hi Angela as advised at the time this occurred I was away and the tariff quoted by the relief person was incorrect due to being high season over the Xmas period. You had booked 3 apartments. We refunded the amount deposited into our account and as you were located in NZ there would have been exchange rate applied in regard to the refund.

The beachfront location is just about the best thing about the San Simeon. Walk out the door and your on the beach... quite a few issues with the rooms. The light switches zapped myself and other members of my group consistently, the manager seemed unconcerned when informed and seemed reluctant to call an electrician to check it, however she did call for an electrician and the issue was rectified a day or two later. Other fun features of the room we stayed in included an ensuite door that would hit the bed and not fully open. Probably wouldn’t stay again, but like I said, the location is it’s best asset... with a few room renovations, this place would improve remarkably.

San Simeon is ideally located right in the beachfront. No main roads to cross and wonderful pathway for walking, jogging and kids on scooters or bikes. Walking distance to enough cafes and restaurants and short drive to close by attractions. Our unit slept 4 comfortably and had beautiful sea views. The sofas and mattresses could do with being renewed but we’re not so uncomfortable that we couldn’t sleep or relax. There are fans in the bedrooms but no fans or air con in the living area. Not sure how this comfortable this would be in the middle of summer. Virginia is welcoming and communications were prompt. Would highly recommend San Simeon.

There may be fancier, swisher places to stay around the country but for us San Simeon is our fave holiday apartments in all of Oz. San Simeon is absolute beach front, when you open the glass doors and step out to your balcony, you have a few metres of greenery, a footpath then the beach and you see and hear the surf rolling in and fill your lungs with the fresh ocean air ... it certainly works up an appetite ... stayed 3 weeks this time (5th stay) and did not want to leave !!!

Won't recommend if your plans are flexible. I had to cancel my trip due to medical emergency, and cancelled my booking more than 2 weeks in advance. Though they got alternate booking for the same dates, still I was charged for one night. No waiver on compassionate grounds as well. Unsatisfied customer, my trust is broken.

Hi if you made a booking via an agent the cancellation policy is that if you cancel or amend your booking prior to arrival then 1 night's cancellation fee is payable. This is communicated to you via your booking confirmation when you make the booking.

Ok so 7 day stay to help a friend recuperate from surgery so bear that in mind. Also this stay was gifted to us so had no role in decision making. Level 5 unit and the noise was absolutely awful.. the planes coming in I probably could have handled on their own but the constant road noise coming off GC highway was terrible. Point in case: view of beach was great and one night I had a quiet beer on the balcony to stare at the full moon over the water.. I couldn't concentrate for longer than a minute with noise an ever lasting disruption. The unit was not very well maintained, in fact it was quite dusty with cracks everywhere and just overall grubby. Reception service was significantly less than satisfactory and if you want to be somewhere where you feel cared for then disregard this complex. To be fair: ground units looked much better than ours with almost direct access to beach but not sure how much noise they would cop? Pool was nice and well looked after and Beach access was very good and "Paul?" was very helpful whenever I ran into him.
I shall not even consider this facility again for any type of stayover as it is very much sub par on so many levels.
