This hotel is great value. It is only a few minutes from the airport which is a great especially after a long flight. A full apartment for the price of a reasonably priced regular hotel room. It is on the beach with a pool and near things to do. The kids had great fun feeding birds right on our balcony.

Good Motel Close to Beach and Facilities

We have been looking for such a spot for ages. This is it! Close to Vikings Surf Club with its great views and restaurant. Close to bus stop if one wants to visit Coolangatta or Surfers. A lovely walk to Tugun. Wonderful view of the beach from our balcony and lounge. We will go again.

A very nice apartment-sort-of solution with easy access to the beach. The apartment was well equipped (kitchen utensils, washing machine and a dryer etc.) and the staff friendly and helpful. Just what I was looking for for a longer stay at the coast.
