    Pros +

    • Location is amazing, right on the beach. It's a great neighbourhood with lots of great cafes and restaurants.
    • great location close to beach and restaurantsGood sizequiet location
    • Spindrift has the best beach access and views are just amazing , location is perfect. The only downside is the they don’t supply you with enough essentials. One toilet roll one bin bag one dishwasher and laundry sachet the tea and coffee had not been replaced and no small hit milk when we arrived so if you are to stay here chuck some supplies in suitcase as there is no supermarket walking distance . Otherwise that’s is a small price to pay for the spectacular veiw and stay .

    Cons -

    • Rooms and some furniture very tired.
    • Whiel well maintained, this place is showing its age.
    • Not the cleanest but it was fine.

    The location cannot be beaten. Right on the beach, near restaurants and the surf club this place has it all. We had extra good service on checkin, which we appreciated.

    Whiel well maintained, this place is showing its age.

    10AndrewPosted on: 2-17-2025

    Great view and location close to beach, shops, surf club.

    8TerezaPosted on: 12-24-2024

    Great location! Exactly what we needed right on the beach front. With heated pool (smalish but good) and heated spa?hit with all four kids. We had two apartments level 5 and ground level ( perfect with a toddler?) big kids loved the upstairs one. Steps away from beach, right next to surf club and a great cafe. Short drive/walk from Burleigh and its great shops and beach.

    Not the cleanest but it was fine.

    9JuliePosted on: 12-13-2024

    Such a great location, beachfront and with a great pool. Shops and transport really close and a lovely cafe just up the road.

    5JaninePosted on: 12-9-2024

    Proximity to the beach. The parking. Comfortable beds and nice couch.

    No aircon despite being told there was, paying for it, then told there wasn't. I was recovering from an operation, and it was brutal only having fans in a heatwave.

    9PeterPosted on: 11-29-2024

    Exceptional views, location and value, far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main action but close enough to join in if you wished.

    no negatives

    9KirstenPosted on: 11-24-2024

    Proximity to beach and views were outstanding. Comfortable with enough space.

    3KatrinaPosted on: 11-22-2024

    We as a family love the pool and the location.

    The apartment was disgustingly dusty and showers mouldy. It's just not at the level it should be for the price that's charged. My husband went to ask for a 2nd dishwashing tablet as we were staying 2 nights and only received one, well they charge you $1 for that which just seems absurd and greedy. The staff was rude about the whole scenario when my husband appeared shocked that there was a price on something like that that they would buy in bulk for not anywhere near that price. I did privately inform the accommodation about the lack of cleanliness but was then personally attacked about the fact that our eldest ended up coming with us last minute due to family matters and I was unaware I needed to inform them of that, would have been nice to have simply been informed while we were there.

    We had stayed at Beachdrift for a special occassion 25 years ago, and returned here to celebrate the anniversary. So we knew that the location is fantastic - right on the beach, and with a great strip of restaurants just a few blocks away. Nobby Beach (Mermaid Beach) is so chill and peaceful compared to being in the bustle of Surfers Paradise! We knew that the building was older, but could see from photos that apartments have been renovated to keep up with the times.

    Cleaning service between guests could be better. The apartment was superficially clean - but many places showed that deeper cleaning is needed on a more regular basis (dust build-up on sliding door tracks, under furniture, etc.) We had some issues with wifi and sink drain in our apartment - but management was quick to take action and rectify these.

    8DavidPosted on: 11-16-2024

    Views were brilliant. Reception greeting friendly. Close to shops, beach and the wedding we needed to attend. Beds very comfy, sheets clean.

    Hallway and lift area not air conditioned, very very stuffy. Showers outdated and average, one roll of toilet paper given and have to pay for more.

    8JanPosted on: 11-11-2024

    Location fabulous - direct beach access; pool & spa a bonus. Comfy beds - 1 qb & 3 Sb. Full kitchen with cooking facilities

    The unit is a little tired - but still comfortable. Cleaning could be improved (dirt under lounges). Asking extra $ for soap, toilet paper, etc !

    10IanPosted on: 10-29-2024

    Excellent surf club and restaurant dining close by; even a minimart for household needs; wonderful beach walks.

    7ElisabethPosted on: 10-13-2024

    The view and location is fantastic.

    The facilities are a bit run down. No toiletries other than a small bar of soap is supplied one small bag of washing powder for one wash. Would be nice to have a few extras so as not to need to buy everything the first day.

    10KatrinaPosted on: 9-24-2024

    I love the view, it was absolutely amazing.I loved that you could go down to the beach and then head back to a heated pool...kids loved it.The apartment was super clean.

    7GordonPosted on: 9-10-2024

    We had a great time at the Gold Coast. View fantastic

    The old bathrooms. Water temperature in main bathroom when showering varied greatly at times.

    10KenyonPosted on: 9-8-2024

    View was amazing. Spent lots of time on the spacious balcony watching the whales swim by and the surfers. Handy to a local grocery store and coffee shops. Nobby's SLSC (100m away) is a good choice for a casual dinner. We will definitely be back.

    8FaeqaPosted on: 9-6-2024

    Great to be so close to the beach, local cafes and shops. Easy to walk to lots of local areas

    The lock on my balcony door didn't work, so I couldn't lock it overnight. Less of a problem as I was on first floor, but I was still a bit uncomfortable with this
