"The body gel and shampoo weren't replenished during cleaning, and I found myself in a tough spot when I wanted to shower but the bottles were empty."

"I recently stayed at Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments with a group of friends. We had 2 units on the same floor and it couldn’t have worked out better. The views were fabulous, the apartments were modern, clean, nicely furnished and they had everything we needed. It was only a short walk to Tedder Avenue for dinner and the surf club the next day for lunch. We even managed a swim in the middle of winter, as the pool was heated. We had such a good time and will be back."

"Our stay was amazing. Upon arrival, super friendly service from the concierge. Room was nice and quiet. It was cleaned and tidied up well every day. The location was great. Sea World was in the backyard. I just wished I knew that I had a voucher for the amount of night we stayed because we would have checked in earlier. Shoreline was nice. Chefs and staff are friendly. Food was ok too. My kids mainly just ate the fruits from the buffet as it's a Western Buffet. Overall, I will definitely come here with the kids next time (maybe in Summer as this winter was too much rain and it was cold)."

"Absolutely outstanding experience here. Simply gorgeous decor and comfortable apartment with views that awe! Clean, hygienic and attention to detail on point. Host Damien and Emma go out of their way to ensure stay is at an optimum level. We stayed in apartment 14, on level 7 and could not fault it. Breathtaking views, ideal for the air show, or simply relaxing and taking in the horizon. European appliances and fresh carpet. Super comfortable beds and little touches that made this trip so memorable. Have already booked again and cannot wait to enjoy this gem."

"Taking into account that we had those massive storms on the Gold Coast and that it appeared to be in the middle of an improvement with new beds. I was extremely disappointed that the air conditioning units, to put it bluntly, were filthy! The two units, even though they were good brands ( Panasonic) when checking the filters, looked as though they had not been cleaned for over 6 months. The filters were CLOGGED with dust and dirt, which made them highly unhealthy for the occupants staying there. The filters had the potential to harbour various air pollutants such as dust particles, pollen, odour, and even bacteria. If you have people allergic to any of these particles, then it’s certain that they have the potential to be affected. For instance, people with asthma or certain allergies might start experiencing difficulties staying in the apartment. Also, some of the bacteria that might make their way into your apartment might cause diseases. When the air filter is dirty, it means that it can’t sieve out the dust, pollen, and other particles from the air. Consequently, the quality of your indoor air is reduced. This means that the air being blown through the vents contains various dust particles and microorganisms that might be harmful to people in the apartment. I know this as I have sold a/c units for over 40 years. I have now retired."

Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments Main Beach ★★★★
"We had an amazing stay at Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments! The apartment was clean, tidy, and incredibly spacious, with full kitchen facilities and a large balcony overlooking the stunning beachfront. The staff were warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They provided helpful local entertainment tips that made our stay even more enjoyable. A special thank you to Michael, who went above and beyond to make our experience extra special. He was thoughtful, kind, and accommodating to our requests, and even recommended some fantastic nearby restaurants."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast ★★★★★
"The hotel’s public areas are beautifully designed and well maintained, which initially gave a great impression. However, the room itself was quite outdated and lacked the comfort we expected. Unfortunately, the check-in process was frustrating — we waited over 20 minutes at reception, and the staff member was rather stern and didn’t seem very knowledgeable. Check-out was similarly inefficient, even though we had filled out the express checkout form in advance. Overall, a disappointing experience considering the hotel’s potential."

The Waterford on Main Beach ★★★★
"We had a fantastic stay. The standout feature was the view—it was absolutely incredible, with an almost 180-degree panoramic outlook over the ocean. We would honestly come back just for the view alone. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had some thoughtful touches, including a Nespresso machine and milk left in the fridge for our arrival, which we really appreciated. The beach is right out the front and is beautiful and supervised. It's about a 20-minute walk to Surfers Paradise, but we actually preferred Main Beach. It's quieter, feels more prestigious, and is just as walkable with nicer places to eat. The staff were excellent—very friendly, responsive, and happy to share helpful local tips. One thing to note is that if you're arriving on a Sunday, you'll need to arrange check-in in advance, as there's no one at the front desk. However, the communication was pretty responsive and well organized that this wasn't a problem at all. Overall, we highly recommend this property. It's a wonderful place to stay, and we'd happily return, especially for those unforgettable views."

"We had a fantastic stay in our unit. The views were absolutely amazing and were a real highlight we never got tired of. The unit was clean and comfortable. The location, atmosphere and stunning outlook made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. We enjoyed our stay so much that we decided to extend our holiday and stayed an extra two nights. Highly recommend this unit to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway with stunning scenery. We would happily stay here again and would love to return in the future."

Oscar on Main Beach Resort ★★★★
"This place is wonderful. The location is fabulous- walk to beach, walk to shops. So close to both. The facilities are wonderful and the apartments are large and lovely. The staff are also extremely helpful and everyone in the building that we came across are very happy. We have stayed at a a lot of places on the Gold Coast and I think our family votes this one the best! Thank you"
