    Only negative was there was nowhere close enough to walk for dinner. But there is a courtesy bus for the Mooney Beach Hotel so that worked fine.

    The rooms were really spacious and clean, friendly staff and great location

    Nothing, everything was right on point!!

    Just 7 miins away from the main hub of town, our beachhouse apartment was amazing, super comfortable, and had everything we needed. We loved the coastal decor in the apt and all the little touches the property had, like the bbq with all the tools needed to cook, or the laundry with powder provided. Sue in reception was so lovely and gave us some great information as we were new to the area.. we loved the pool area and the vibe, it felt like we were in a tropical paradise. The bed in the room was large and super comfortable, and the apartment itself was roomy. From the moment we opened the door, it felt like a home away from home. We would 100% stay again whenever up in coffs.

    Excellent place! The staff was friendly and welcoming. Although we arrived a bit late, the key collection process was seamless. The three-bedroom apartment with a sea-view balcony was amazing. Everything was clean, tidy, and comfortable. Highly recommended!

    Not very close to shops or bars. But it is also one of the advantages! Not really enforcing pool rules so plenty of diving and bombing. But again not a big deal.

    Spacious apartments with easy parking and nice gardens. Literally a few meters from the beach and you can hear the sound of the sea. The pool has many loungers and is clean and shady. Many board games and stuff for kids.

    the parking spaces were too small to unload the car and we were on the second floor so had to haul our heavy cases up and down stairs

    the whole unit was exceptionally clean and bed was comfy.

    Great stay with the sound of the waves in the bedroom. This apartment is right on the beach just behind a row of trees. The beach is not too safe to swim as there are currents and big waves but very nice to spend time on. The bathroom was renovated and the apartment spacious and comfortable. It is a bit older style but well kept. Has a nice pool also. The coastal walk over the headlands to the next few beaches is particularly scenic.
