Great Family Stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 1 Oct 2023via mobile
As a family of four, we really enjoyed our stay at this property. The apartments are large with two bedrooms and two bathrooms and two balconies.

There is a huge kitchen with a microwave and a large fridge. The lounge room is very spacious. The beds were very comfortable, and the property was very quiet.

There is no lift, so having to bring luggage up three flights of stairs might be challenging for those with physical limitations.

The proptery itself is well laid out and fun to poke around and see what is there. There are at least four pools, tenis courts, and a kids' playground. We loved the bistro, which had good priced meals, such as burgers and pizzas, as well as alcohol and soft drinks.

The beach is five minutes walk away, as well as a grocery store.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking available in the underground carpark.

I would definitely recommend to families and friends who are looking for a reasonably priced place to hang out and feel safe and have fun.

Love this resort. Very family friendly and very safe for younger children. Everyone is so friendly and the resort features so many things inside it like 3 different swimming pools, miniature golf around the resort, children's club and childcare.
Have stayed here many times and will again.

We have just had 2x nights at Turtle Beach Resort, and left feeling pretty dissapointed. We booked a premium 2x bedroom apartment but it was far from a 4 star experience. The sofas in the living room were extremely stained, the rubbish bin was putting off an awful smell and upon removing the bin liner, realised it had not been cleaned from the previous guests, hard as rock beds but the worst was the kitchen was infested with baby cockroaches that came out at night. They were even in the dishwasher. I raised the bin and cockroaches with reception who sent someone in to clean the bin and spray our room - but not something we want to deal with on a break. The pools and facilities for kids was the only highlight. We wont be back.

On first arrival, no where to park, only underground parking. Great if you don’t have a large Ute. The lounge in the room had old food stains smeared on it and looked like it hadn’t been wiped in years. Food crumbs underneath the coffee table and the bed looked like it was from 1970. Great pool areas, especially if you want to vape right next to a group of children swimming as one man thought was necessary. The playground was in between two buildings where people could watch from their bathroom (I know because of there was a man watching my daughter). The deck/restaurant area was poorly looked after and food left everywhere. My family and I were there for a total of 2 hours before we decided to check out and leave. The lady at the front desk said she could find us another room and I kindly said no I wanted to get out of there and she responded with ‘no problem’. Not even an inch of trying to make things better for us.

Do not waste your money.

We stayed at Turtle beach as part of a large group over four different rooms. We were all happy with our rooms. After reading reviews before our stay, I was worried our stay would be unpleasant, but it was the opposite! Great place to stay with kids, rooms were dated, but clean(what more could you want) staff were lovely, bottle shop and Woolies not even a block away. You don’t pay a fortune to stay here, so why expect everything to be perfect? Thanks Turtle beach, we had fun!

Another wonder stay at Turtle Beach. We stayed for 14 days in a Family Suite and it was a perfect location for everything we wanted to do. The kids loved the pools and we made good use of the BBQs. The Deck restaurant was good and we enjoyed several meals here. A wee suggestion would be to pop the breakfast menu online as we only realised breakfast was an option mid-stay.

The central location of Turtle Beach makes it an excellent choice. It’s within walking distance of Metromart and a wonderful wee cafe called Chut. The reviews of this cafe speak for themselves. It’s the best coffee we found on the GC. The Mermaid Tavern and Putt Putt are an easy walk too and we enjoyed ourselves in both of these places.

This is our fourth stay at Turtle Beach and we will definitely be back. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
