Surfers Aquarius Apartments Beach Front Level 37

AndrewRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We've stayed at Surfers Aquarius twice now. The views and beach access are fantastic, the room and amenities are perfect. Only one complaint, anything you want to do is a bit of a walk away, there is a bus at the doorstep though and Lime booked are always nearby.

Beachfront Gem in Burleigh Heads Perfect Location

MelindaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Omg the whole process to rent check in and out was unbelievably easy. I was going to arrive late in the evening. And the instructions for keys were simple and direct. Fast response to my questions which I appreciated because it was getting late in the evening. Location is absolutely to die for and in side just takes u back to a simple time in life with the elegant touch of modern design. Impressive

Absolute Beachfront Apartment - MAIN BEACH

MattRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Sandi’s apartment was beautiful and in a perfection location away from the hustle and bustle of Surfers and close to beautiful restaurants and cafes. The apartment was close to everything we needed and was beautiful and exactly how it was described. Sandi was super responsive and friendly and I completely recommend this for a family or two couples who want a relaxing weekend in a great location.

Amazing View & Relaxing Apartment in Surfers!

Fantastic apartment with great views. Extremely spacious and has everything you need. Q1 tower is just a short walk away as well as Cavill Avenue where most of the restaurants are. The nearest tram stop is a 4 minute walk which was nice.

Absolute Beachfront House in Palm Beach

JasonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Gabby’s place was absolutely amazing. The vibe of the house is even nicer than the photos. It was a perfect place to relax and spend the day, my parents from New Zealand were so impressed with the location, view, but also the ammenities and furnishings in the house. Hopefully we can come back to stay longer next time

Villa 10 - Walk to beach

LauraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
A wonderful stay in the beautiful little house for my family of 5. Loved how close it was to the tram/ beach and Pacific Fair. Only downside, if I really had to be picky, was the traffic noise in the evening, but soon got used to that after a few nights. Can’t wait to come back next year 😊

Sanctuary at Broadbeach Waters

AlexRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We absolutely loved our stay at Phillips place! All instructions were clear and straight forward, we loved using the pool and kayaks whilst hosting some friends for a dinner. Such a great entertaining space but also a beautiful place to relax by the pool and enjoy the sunshine. We will absolutely look to stay here again when we visit the Gold Coast!

Villa by the Canal

NicolinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had the best holiday here, the house is exactly as described and super clean and well looked after. It was such a treat to be right on the water! We made use of the private jetty and brought our boat, perfect place to stay for boating to south straddie, tipplers, jumpin pin, wave break island! Host Bray was super accommodating and responsive, I’d highly recommend this house to other guests!

Level 12… 180° of Uninterrupted Beachfront Views.

SarahRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Jason was so helpful after a terrible start to our holiday. At VERY short notice we booked in at the apartment and it was great from first communication to checkout. The accomodation is exactly as described and actually nicer in person. The views are stunning. Couldn’t ask for a cleaner, better designed apartment or a more understanding, responsive host. Thanks so much for everything, wouldn’t hesitate to book here again.
