The hotel is situated in a brilliant location. We didn’t see anybody who worked at the hotel during our two day stay as they have very short opening hours on weekends, however I’m sure they would be helpful if available. The hotel is fairly run down and in desperate need of some tlc. However, the room size was large and all amenities like washer, dryer etc are available.

Fantastic Beach Property

The position of this hotel right across from the patrolled beach, playground, skate park, surf club, shops and restaurants is perfect for a Sunshine Coast visit. Our 2 bed unit was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. There is a fairly busy road between the property and the beach but paradise isn't always perfect.
