Stunning Vista
Pros: We had a great experience upon arrival, with a friendly and efficient check-in process. Chantelle was especially wonderful—she was warm, welcoming, and very helpful. The location of the building is excellent, and it was great to have a parking spot available, which made our stay even more convenient. The balcony provided stunning views, particularly of the storms, which were absolutely spectacular. Additionally, all the local residents in the building were exceptionally friendly, creating a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere. The communal pool and spa were well-maintained and provided a refreshing and relaxing space to unwind. Cons: The building itself was a bit tired in places. Additionally, only one lift was in operation during our stay, which led to some long waits, especially during busy times. Accessing the garage with the fob was a bit awkward as you had to exit the vehicle each time, but it was still nice to have parking on-site. The balcony was quite windy most days, which is typical for the Gold Coast, but it did limit our ability to sit outside and enjoy the space fully.

This property reminded me of our home. It was warm and welcoming right from arrival to departure thanks to a wonderful host, The property certainly has an openness which is enriched by the decor and as advertised has beautiful mountain, city and coastal views. Having three bedrooms and all on one level allowed us to share this property and it’s views with my mum and my family. The little extras such as the books and games added to a wonderful holiday experience together.

Amazing stay
Very spacious, clean unit with breathtaking views. Extremely well appointed kitchen with everything you need to cook. The welcome snacks were a lovely touch and devoured quickly by the hungry teens. Great location, the girls loved the pool and overall a fantastic check in/check out process. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we definitely will be back. We stay in many units throughout the year and I can’t recommend this one highly enough. Thanks for a perfect birthday getaway.

Lovely property . Too small for 3 adults and 2 teenagers. Main bedroom bed is more like a double and we found it way too small. There was a smell in the bathroom that was from blocked shower drain pipes….not something that you would know as an owner however was a lot.

About the host

Hosted by chantal murphy

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Chantal and I am French but travelled since I was 20 years old and ended up in this little bit of paradise in Australia about 15 years ago, where I decided to put my suitcases down and meet my Aussie hubby and start a family. We now have 2 amazing boys (Nolan and Dylan, 11 and 12 years old). We live in Burleigh waters, and you will often see me cruising on my bike or taking a walk to the local markets. We also recently added a 5th member to our family with a cheeky puppy Cavoodle called Loki.

Why they chose this property

We live in Burleigh waters, but always loved the idea of waking up with the view of the ocean... so we got this property with our dream in mind and now we love spending time at the beach when the place is not rented! we hope you enjoy the apartment as much as we do each time we stay there!

What makes this property unique

For us, the best bit is that our boys who are now 12 and 13 years old, can enjoy the heated pool and the tennis court located on the ground floor. The beach is also only metres away...We also love that once we are at the apartment, we can walk to get a coffee, lunch, breakfast or dinner! Of course you cannot get passed the awesome views that you get from being on the 18th floor. We have it all between the beach/ocean view, the river and mountains views. But at night you also get an awesome city skyline view from pretty much everywhere in the unit.
