The staff could not have been more helpful during our stay. They kindly upgraded us to a suite when I realised the shower over the spa was not an option for me in our hotel room. Thank you so much for making our stay a pleasure. Linda H

I literally cried when I got here with disappointment. From the start the liaison was less than average. Booked via online platform which asked us what time we planned to arrive - i answered that it would be sometime around midday and received an email response "unable to accommodate early check in" ; somewhat taken aback, we never asked for an early check in? not the warmest welcome. Should have heard the alarm bells ringing loudly when the booking was deemed non-refundable.

We had a lovely studio room which was very well presented. We had a great view of Coolum beach from our balcony. The receptionist, Cristiana was very warm and welcoming. The swimming pool is in a great position and there is also a separate kiddies pool. The location is perfect! Literally a short walk to the beach, shops, restaurants and the Surf Club. We will definitely be staying again!

This is the place we always stay in Coolum, it is very handy to walk to the shops. The view from the rooms is magnificient. We stay in a studio room mainly because we view the sea from the bed, almost like being onboard a ship! The room has everything we need, no cooking facilities however but we sacrifice that for enjoyment of being able to sit in bed and enjoy a coffee whilst looking at the sea, see photo. There are lifts, so no climbing stairs. The staff are great.

The only thing going for this place now is the location which you could not fault at all, right across from the beach walking distance to Coles and cafes. Which is lucky because there is no allocated parking which isn't mentioned until after you have booked and they even suggest you don't leave at night otherwise you'll miss out on a parking spot. Each night was a struggle and stressful occurance if I would get a carpark, not to mention the carpark itself is very cramped with some parking spots so incredibly tight to access. But when there are no other options you just have to make it work. Not being able to take your car out at night because your worried you won't be able to get a carpark is ridiculous and I have never experienced this in any of the accommodation places we…

I checked in here on Sunday the 22nd of August and checked out on Tuesday. I had a great stay here . Yes it is a bit older but the beach is across the road with in walking distance. The pool was a good size.The spa at the end was good even if I kept getting water up my nose.Good walking path across the road going up to the look outs. Enjoyed drinks and a view at the Surf Lifesaving Club at sunset on both nights.The shops are with in walking distance and the public toilets are next to the lifesaving club across the road. Check the hotel directory when checking in as I got caught out trying to find some sort of convenience store to get extra milk for my coffee and cereals I bought with me. I bought the milk at an organic store in the middle of town. It wasnt until the next day I…

From the moment we arrived we were greeted with friendly smiles and all the information we needed. Nothing was too much trouble. When leaving our battery was flat and the manager so kindly recharged our battery. What an asset he is to the retreat. The lady on reception couldn't have been nicer either. Our room was fantastic. Clean, wonderful views, air con and fans. Great provision of things such as clothes rack with pegs plus everything one could need on a holiday. The retreat is so close to the beach, restaurants, surf club etc. Fabulous balconies with outdoor chairs and table. Very comfortable bed and lounge chairs. Beautiful clean linen and the whole place was so clean. The location was incredible and such value for money. Pool and spa heated and wonderful. I used them every…

First of all, All the staffs that we meet were very friendly. We went there bit early and need to wait for about 30 minutes for check in. We left our bags on the reception and went to the beach. The reception team deserves 5 star.
