Perfect location for a family getaway. The mall is directly across the road and has a great variety of shops and food options; the beach is a short walk away and there is green space for soccer practice. Plus it’s directly next door to the spa/steam/cold plunge at Core Revival.

We found the one bedroom apartment very spacious with very good amenities. it was very clean with 2 smart TV's including one in the bedroom. The location is excellent because it is just across the road from a large shopping centre, 5 minute walk to the beach including a surf club so the overall experience was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lowanna Beach Resort.
