Lovely property, close to beach and shopping centre. At check in time, no one at reception, 2 others waiting also to check in. Called number but no response. Carparks very tight, signage or a map of location of allocated space be provided would be helpful. Construction materials - fenced off.

The apartments are aesthetically pleasing, and their location across from shops and cafes is highly convenient. Recently constructed, the development is nearing completion of its on-site restaurant, which will hopefully enhance the modern, minimalist aesthetic. I eagerly anticipate returning to experience the restaurant and its high-quality offerings. Exciting times Lowanna!

What a fantastic location! Easily accessible being only a block back from Kawana beach & surf club, across the road from well equipped shopping centre with plenty of majors to keep you busy on a rainy day, quiet & safe. Generously proportioned apartment with good natural light yet private and perfectly clean. New building with some minor teething issues, but would have no hesitation in recommending these apartments as a place to stay.
