About

Located on the beach front at Currumbin Beach on the Gold Coast, Sanctuary Beach Resort offers a variety of two and three-bedroom fully self contained and air-conditioned units featuring beach, ocean or pool and garden views with a courtyard or terrace. You can enjoy direct access to the beach or the outdoor pool, surrounding gardens and BBQ areas, or enjoy a game of tennis. Each apartment includes a private bathroom and a spacious lounge room with TV and DVD player. Three-Bedroom apartments are over 2 levels with a master retreat upstairs. There is stair access only to all apartments. Local cafes and boutique shops are located on Pacific Parade, which is just a 3-minute walk from the property, via the beach. The Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Life Saving Club is also a 3-minute walk up the beach and features 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean. You can see clearly all the way from Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta from the top of the Elephant Rock lookout, and the famous Currumbin Alley is just a further 5 minutes' walk along the beach. Sanctuary Beach Resort has secure basement parking and is across the road from Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. Coolangatta Airport is only a 7-minute drive from the resort.

    Pros +

    • We had a beach front unit - main living area was amazing, 2nd bedroom was fabulous with a small deck/ocean views with floor to ceiling sliding glass doors. However, the main bedroom lacked the floor to ceiling windows etc so no ocean views unless you stood up & looked out the windows. Very spacious, lovely renovated textiles/furniture.
    • position was good. Would rather have front apartment to see beach. Palms shaded apartment all day
    • Beachfront with a seaveiw.Spacious and well set up for cooking etcSecure basement carpark.

    Cons -

    • With the apartment - the main bedroom, no floor to ceiling windows/sliding glass doors to enjoy the beachfront upon waking.The pool area could be larger with a more accommodating BBQ area for guests that have family in the area that are visiting.Pool towels should not require a fee of $5 each for the paying guests! This is a "resort" & they should be noted on the person's account of how many towels have been taken for use, if not returned, then charged at full price to the paying guest.
    • apartment no view and cold
    • Neighbour's two dogs barking frequently.Renovations next door necessitated occasionally vacating the apartment.With the airport so close the noise of planes close overhead was disruptive.

    Really nice location ,Currumbin sanctuary right around the corner beach on the back doorstep tweed heads just down the road.But the beds were so so comfortable

    My daughter left her drink bottle in the freezer. The man that was in the unit I assume cleaning organising doing whatever was not impressed that he had to go down to the linen room and get it for us. Was very grumpy about it

    8MargaretPosted on: 4-28-2025

    Close to the beach and has a swimming pool

    Getting a bit old. Needs some care and updates to it

    10BenPosted on: 4-26-2025

    Awesome staff and perfect location. Very clean and spacious rooms. Family had the best time.

    Nothing was perfect

    10BrookePosted on: 4-24-2025

    I loved the location and the view

    The beds were hard as a rock

    9PaulPosted on: 4-15-2025

    It's definitely one of our favourite places to stay. Comfortable, good sized apartments that are great for families. Tennis courts, basketball and the pool are great to keep the kids busy when they aren't at the beach.

    There are a few stairs to most apartments.

    10CamillePosted on: 4-14-2025

    Close to beach, tennis court, under cover parking. Friendly staff and helpful

    8MoanaPosted on: 4-13-2025

    Location, cleanliness and the way the house was set

    The stairs up to the apartment and the planes. There isn’t as much air traffic after 9pm

    9SarahPosted on: 4-7-2025

    Great facilities, spacious and clean and great location. Ideal for buses up and down the coast.

    8KaylaPosted on: 4-2-2025

    Beautiful location, lovely spacious apartment and having our own washing machine available in the apartment was definitely handy.

    Didn't really bother us but we were surprised by the stairs without an accessibility option. It may have just been that I didn't read properly when booking. Maybe making this more notable in advertisements could be useful for others when booking.

    8DiannePosted on: 3-17-2025

    Facilities were excellent. We stayed as we had no power at home due to Cyclone Alfred. Apartment had everything we needed.

    9GavPosted on: 3-3-2025

    The location was great. Right beside the beach and across the road from Currumbin Sanctuary. The Friday night market there is definitely good. A walk to Currumbin Vikings Club that has a great vibe. Quiet area with good beach access and a walkway that takes you through to shops with a 10 minute walk.

    Not many staff at all. They had maintenance going on while we were there during the day. Doors could do with some TLC.

    9MonikaPosted on: 2-22-2025

    Beautiful beach location, budget resort but who cares when the beach is just across accommodation

    Nothing we disliked

    3JudithPosted on: 2-21-2025

    Location on beach was nice, size of rooms were good.

    Underground parking stunk, reception and first impression needs attention, not a good check in experience.

    6Carol-annePosted on: 2-15-2025

    Location, GARDENS were gorgeous, very close to beach

    Was told that we had beach views but unless on tip toes there was not a view. Apartment comfortable BUT very dated, building work going on while we there and FELT that management should have moved us to a quieter location

    10KatiePosted on: 2-6-2025

    Absolutely loved the location and accessibility of this hotel. Staff were extremely accommodating when dealing with my flight delays and check ins. Fell in love with the hotel pool pet.

    10WilsonPosted on: 2-4-2025

    Excellent location being so close to the beach. The apartment had everything we needed, was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished.

    7GordonPosted on: 2-4-2025

    Location was great. Access to surf beach and creek and walking track excellent

    Apartment was quite old and requires maintenance. Also more bread and butter plates and reasonably sized cups would have been appreciated.
