We came for a short 5 night stay at Mooloolaba and chose Sandcastles on recommendation from a friend. It did not disappoint. We stayed in Room 201 which was well furnished, self contained, clean and was more than comfortable for our stay. Teagan, Joel and Maddy were fabulous hosts. They greeted us with smiles and we not only shared some humour but they also offered to loan us the coveted blue beach chair! They also gave us some great dining recommendations. Thank you for a fabulous stay. We will return. Gail & Brian

We had booked for eight nights and were really disappointed on arrival. For the price and the Trip Advisor rating, it simply did not measure up. Our unit appeared to have been recently renovated but it was a really cheap job. The light switches were not secure, the toilet roll holder leaned downwards, the wardrobe doors very thin and the bed gave me my first ever back ache on waking. It turns out that Sandcastles, although well located, is at the ‘poor end’ of the beach front strip and the area is unusually dark at night. My partner and I were shocked when we first walked into our allocated apartment (305) and felt no better the following morning. I went in search of alternative accomodation, which was difficult to find. Eventually found something, which was three bedrooms instead of one, and cost 2.5 times more than Sandcastles. It was worth every cent. Sandcastles is not serviced daily, the alternative one is. The lounge room/dining area is four times the size and we have a beachfront view. To be fair to Sandcastles, I did not say anything, except we were leaving early. They graciously only charged us for two nights accomodation and refunded the six nights. I was very grateful. The receptionist was lovely and the standard of accomodation was not her fault, so no point in carrying on to her. Sandcastles is a three star resort at best, and certainly not 4.5.…

Accommodation was average. The deluxe rating and comparison to the images provided aren't equal. Upon arrival a notice in the lift advised us that repairs to the building were occuring and there would be noise disruptions

Great place in a great location. Our unit had everything you need for a week away. Not a huge block so more personal. Staff were friendly and everything was clean and tidy. Easy walk to everything with plenty of food places within 5 mins walk. If staying in Mooloolaba this would be a great choice.

This is the ideal place to stay in Mooloolaba. The managers, Bridgette and Charlie, are the friendliest and most helpful people you can imagine. The place is totally centrally situated and restaurants, cafes, an interesting secondhand bookshop, The Wharf and SeaWorld are on the doorstep. Our unit was clean, airy, quite spacious and well equipped with a sea view. Very comfortable bed and seating. Undercover secure parking. There's nothing not to like - highly recommended.

We stayed at Sandcastles for 10 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It is a great location, opposite a surf patrolled beach and directly behind the Surf Life Saving Club. The room was clean, with a sea view. There is a fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. Bridgette and Charlie are awesome hosts and are a wealth of knowledge about the local area and where to get a decent feed! If you are a coffee lover, go to Good Bean where the young baristas make a great coffee. The only downside was a couple of early morning beer drop offs at the Surf Club where it was noisy, otherwise would highly recommend Sandcastles.

I can’t recommend this place enough. Sensational position next door to the surf club and 20m to the restaurants. Our unit has a super comfy bed, which to me is the number one priority. Our unit is clean and tidy with a kitchenette and nice balcony. The rooms are a few years old now probably 1990’s vintage as far as the decor goes, but still great clean and practical. The management have been incredibly helpful as well. We got stuck due to road flooding and they kindly let us check out late without any cost to wait and see if the roads clear. I would definitely stay here again.
