One of the best locations on the Gold Coast. The managers were excellent to deal with and made our stay most enjoyable. The views from our apartment were magnificent and the property had fantastic amenities.

The Waterford location is amazing, there are not too many apartments where you can see whales from your balcony! There are plenty of great dining options nearby on Tedder Avenue, plus the tram is also very close, so we didn't need to hire a car. The room was spacious, and pool was amazing.
