Much beyond my expectation for a holiday home. It is so comfortable and well-equipped in kitchen ware, laundry, tumble dryer, Netflix, hot bath, air conditioning, and indoor designated parking spot. I could see guests enjoying the outdoor hot spa on a winter day. It is next to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary that offers hot breakfast for non-visiting guests where you eat outdoor or under cover sharing the lovely space with the free-range big birds. Lorikeet feeding is also accessible to public before entering the park. The beautiful beach is just two minute away and many good restaurants ( dine-in or drive through) and shopping malls are within less than 15 min driving distance. It is so close to the airport that it is no brainer to drive there after picking up your car at the airport. We will definitely return for our next holiday.

Pros: Eddie was wonderful; very quick to remedy any issues, and easy to reach if needed. The grounds were beautiful!! The rooms were perfect for a family of 5; enough of the necessities, and plenty of room for us all. The spa was perfect on cold days. Cons: Permanent residents made us feel very uncomfortable when using the pool/spa, or moving about the complex. There was also a gross smell coming from the ensuite drain.
