The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Ocean View Delight

I stayed in a hotel room with ocean views for 2 nights. The room was spotless and comfortable, featuring everything we needed for a perfect stay. There was a cozy bed that provided me with great sleep, and the location right across from the beach was a huge plus! Highly recommend it.

Relaxing Hot Tub

The hot tub was beautiful! I spent the afternoons relaxing in the sun, which was a fantastic way to unwind after exploring. Being able to enjoy leisure time by the pool area was definitely a highlight of my vacation.

Cafes Nearby

The convenience of having cafes and a coffee shop right downstairs made our mornings good! We loved getting fresh coffee and snacks just a few steps from our room. It really added to the overall experience.

I found this hotel to be in a great location, just a short walk from the beach and many shops and restaurants. The room was certainly basic and felt quite dated, but it served its purpose for my one-night stay. However, the price felt a bit steep for what I got, especially considering the cleanliness issues in the room. It's a good spot for a quick visit, but I wouldn’t want to stay longer without some upgrades.

The studio apartment we had was very tired and not as clean as I expected. The kitchenette was really just a bar fridge, and the smell of cleaning products in the room was off-putting.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, enjoying the large apartment and its proximity to the beach and local amenities. The room was spacious and comfortable, but it did feel a bit dated and in need of some updates. While the view from the balcony was lovely, I had hoped for a more ocean-centric view from the bed. Overall, it's a good value for money considering the location.

I recently stayed at The Beach Retreat while visiting the Sunshine Coast, and I was really pleased overall. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach and close to many restaurants. The rooms were clean and served their purpose, although a bit dated, and the staff at reception were super helpful and friendly. However, the pool area was nice but could use a bit more upkeep. The price was a major plus, offering great value for money compared to other places nearby.

Overall, my stay was enjoyable with beautiful ocean views and a lovely pool area. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach and the Surf Lifesaving Club. However, the room I stayed in was a bit dated and showed signs of wear, which was disappointing, especially considering the price I paid. The service was helpful, but there is room for improvement in terms of room maintenance and amenities.
