10/10 Excellent
"Great location close to shops, conference centre, star casino short walk. Very close to beach. Lots of food venues nearby. Almost at tram stop, North Broadbeach. Third bedroom had been added in so living space was a bit crammed with too much furniture. Everything well supplied, although Extra dishwashing liquid and dishwasher tablets would have been helpful especially for week long stays. Washing machine and dryer good to have available. Super amenities at venue. Stayed here before. Came back due to location and accomodation"
