Beaconlea

Superb location on waterside with very usable balcony. Stunning views from a delightful apartment. Helpful staff….a few small issues dealt with suitably (insufficient forks for number of guests, no instructions for washing machine in regard to do you turn the taps or not). Easy parking underground and on street. A don’t miss - pelican feeding at the nearby fish market.

Not so suited to young children (<10yrs): Lush cream carpet, cream Leather sofa/chairs…constantly worried about spillages by children. Tables with thick heavy unsecured glass tops…constantly worried about them being tipped / broken with children using them. Large openable windows BUT NOTHING TO STOP A CHILD FROM FALLING OUT

Awesome location, very close to theme parks and Harbour town for shopping, lovely to look out at the water from the balcony. Very spacious living area. The pool was small, but we were the only ones using it each morning, so not a bother, might be in summer though.

The only negative I can think of is that the windows and ranch slider doors all along the road/water side are not sound proof so you do get street noise, and on the weekend it was particularly bad with what sounded like a party of people shouting etc at 3am. One sink was quite slow to drain, and the dryer was so loud we ended up not using it.

What a stunning view from the apartment and the handy location (far enough from the busy area yet close to all amenities and theme parks). There is a variety of restaurants right outside the accommodations. The apartment is spacious and comes with an allocated secure carpark underground. We are so glad to have found Beaconlea for this vacation. It was serviced once during our 8 night stays but that wasn't a problem as i kept the apartment tidy anyway. I will come back to Beaconlea next time i visit Gold Coast.

I had to unclog the main bathroom sink using a tweezer on our 2nd day (was completely blocked) as i had no tool but couldn't be bothered telling the manager during our stay so we just didn't use the sink. Also some lights need to be replaced and the vent grille covers in bathrooms need to be cleaned. Anyway nothing would stop me from giving the top score for Beaconlea.

Stayed in 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT directly on 2nd floor. The unit was huge compared to virtually any other similar apartments on offer on the Gold Coast. You are literally located directly across the road from the Sea! My kids and I watched the fireworks over in Surfers Paradise from our balcony in Labrador! The Beaconlea seriously is one of the very best accommodation options available anywhere on the Gold Coast. Dont be fooled by the price, it's as good if not better than others twice the price! Also, the onsite staff are super friendly and cannot do enough to assist you .

The main living area has A/C, the bedrooms have just ceiling fans only BUT, given the room is extremely well insulated from any direct sunlight, I'd be surprised if this were a problem in the middle of Summer given the amount of sea breeze the unit receives. We were totally comfortable for our stay but I thought I'd just mention this as it's the kind of detail most people will appreciate.

The view from the 14th floor was exceptional. lovely to just sit and watch all the boats and craft out on the water.

We had an issue with the occasional table in the lounge room. The glass top was not attached to the base and it slipped off and injured one of the children. It took 3 adults to lift it back on. It was very heavy. Management were reporting it to the owner to improve the safety.

The location was excellent, I've never been to that side of the Gold Coast before and we were pleasantly surprised. Close to everything. The room was nice, some things do need a little updating, but overall can't complain. Loved the waterfront views, absolutely gorgeous and close to shops and park. Carpark space also good.

Some things a little tired and need updating, floor area around bed not really properly cleaned and the main door to the verandah was difficult to open when we arrived, but they had someone come and oil it and it worked a little better.

We loved this place, the open area inside is great, the bedrooms were great, both leading into balcony. The shower in main bathroom was huge and our boys loved that. Lol The kitchen had everything you needed. The view from the apartment was amazing. The security was fantastic, we have never been in a lift where you have to use your room key to use the lift, to get to your floor, thats great security. We loved it and we will be definitely be coming back there. Thank you for such a relaxing stay.

There was only 1 thing I would of liked and it's only a minor thing, but that is, not having screen doors on the glass sliding doors leading to balcony. . We couldn't leave the balcony doors open off our room for fresh air. Other then that I'm giving it a 10/10.

Location was perfect with amazing views. Restaurants within short walking distance. Apartment slightly dated furniture, however everything worked and kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance required. The penthouse was very large and really suited our family of five. Tennis court, heated pool and great games room along with a large range of DVD’s for visitors use. Would certainly recommend this property.

Hard to fault this property

The best thing about the apartment is the view, its spectacular. However, upon entering the apartment it was an instant flashback to the 80's with the decor. The apartment was large with plenty of space for our family. It's in a great location with a few restaurants within a few steps.

The decor & the apartment itself could do with some TLC & maintenance. Clothes pegs need replacing as they are a bit old & moldy. While we were there it was really windy, so couldn't make use of the balcony which was a shame.

Excellent place to stay. Beautiful views and central location between Surfers Paradise and all the theme parks. Good choices of restaurants at walking distance.

Only one thing (being picky:-)). The towels provided need to be of better quality as all the fluff was coming off. First I thought my skin was "peeling" but then realised that it was the fluff from the towel:-) When washed the towels with other clothes, all the white fluff stuck to all other clothes. Apart of this minor thing, absolutely great place to stay. Would go back there anytime.
