Best Holiday apartment rentals in Australia

We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms overlooking the pool. The bed was extremely soft and comfortable and everything was very new. On the downside, there was minimal comforts ie a small bin for rubbish wouldn't go astray, and a chair to sit on inside instead of having to sit on the pristine white bed linen to watch tv. Mobile phone reception was non existent and the wifi cut in and out making the tv pixelate. On the upside, very accommodating reception staff, and very efficient air con. We were going to stay an extra night but decided to head home as we were missing our furbabies.

Five stars for the beach view rooms... ahhhmazing !!! New renovations are taking this place to a whole new level of beautiful. If you feel like you want to be in the movie Beaches, rent the ocean room!

A wonderful location and great staff, especially Courtney. The view from our balcony was spectacular. My family and I will definitely return. Highly recommend ocean view.

Room we had is beach view which is very nice. Room is a bit old but currently they are under renovation. Wifi service is poor. Location is good in bargara service we did not need any only reception services smooth service especially if you book in advance.

Booked online and paid for a room. When I arrived they said they don’t have the booking despite me showing the bank transaction with all of the correct information for Don Pancho. I asked to at least receive a refund and they said they have to talk to management and that they’ll speak to them in just over an hours time. ??why not just call them on the spot. Now we have been left with no place to stay and out of pocket what we paid.

Unsure if the same problem but a lady was on the phone next to us demanding a refund saying she’d been on the phone for ages so the place just seems extra dodgy. Don’t risk it and book elsewhere.

I actually worked at Don Pancho 38 years ago, so I tried to book but left it too late.

So I popped down today to have a look at what's changed in the last 4 decades.
The Don is having major renovations done and is looking fabulous...
They still have more to do, but it'll be amazing when it's finished.
The quick walk around brought back so many happy memories and I look forward to actually booking in (in advance) next time.

I loved this place.
Have a wonderful view and have a excellent vibes.

Favourite beach in the Goldcoast! Less busier than the others and yet a better view of the city. Such beautiful sunsets too!

A great place to stay, even though there are a lot of renovations going on. We had a two bedroom fully contained ocean view apartment.... It was amazing. Plenty of room to move about and very clean and comfortable. We stayed for 3 nights and would definitely go back.

Such a beautiful beach facing north so protected from southerly or easterly winds. Love it.

Stayed at the apartment for 2 nights 3 days. Very clean with excellent views

Plenty space and life guards

Disappointed apartment not as stated as booked initially for the first two days of the visit there was a bad stench we had to leave all the doors and windows open to get rid of the smell. Pool was not operating we needed it for health reason and we where not properly notified . We where told by a residence that the pool was having issues for many months. There where no fly screens. On the plus side it was a large apartment, with beautiful views and good parking. Worth two and a half stars.

My parents stayed here. Both in their eighties. The lounge was absolutely disgusting, even after they tried to clean it. We couldn’t sit on it because there was no support.
The dishwasher was switched off at the power point, under the sink.
The chairs outside wrre old and ripped. The cushioning wad coming out of them. We sat at the table for lunch and it was wobbly and falling to bits. The insinuation that because it was a Groupon we shouldn’t expect a good quality room is not acceptable.
My parents have stayed at this resort multiple times and this stay was very disappointing. Totally refused any refund. They offered to move them to another room but they were only there for a couple of days and too much work for them to move.

I booked a sea view apartment, and the view was all blocked by part of building and big trees. It was on Level 4. Not happy with the view.
Very rude staff members Karen and the manager Amy was really rude. They are just horrible. We did a weekend check-in and the whole next 2 days we were out of the apartment. They were very rude and didn't understand our situation and they asked us to physically come in to the reception from where ever we are and show the face and photo id at that time else they going to remove access from the fob. We have to beg them to keep it until 5 clock on the day. We have done all our payment fully and still they wanted to remove access from us. Cant believe the way the manager talked to me over the phone. We were already in the theme park and fully paid for the day until 5pm. Because of these ladies we had to come out of the park with kids at 2.30pm. They ruined the whole trip. Kids were very sad. Also we paid lot of money and flew from Melbourne to Gold coast only because of the theme parks. And it was my son's 10th birthday gift. These ladies ruined everything. I tired to explain her in everyway and she was very selfish. I said I can send all the details over the phone with pictures. She didn't give us a single chance. Didn't care that we are their customers. Talked to us very rudely and very racist.
Also we found many cockroaches in the apartment, and we raised the issue with reception, the same lady said close the balcony doors and stay. Didn't even care or apologise for that. The description says luxury apartments, but they kept only one little shampoo, 2 tiny tiny soap in the bathroom for 4 people for 7nights.Not a single tissue. Also in the kitchen they kept only 4 coffee sachets + 4 sugar sachets for 4 people. When I ask from them the lady said that all they give you have to buy them. Even a cheap caravan park cabin stay will have all the items for all the days that we stay.

The staff Karen and Amy, they are the worst people that I've ever met.

We booked a 3 Bedroom, and only one bedroom has an aircon machine in it. There’s only 2 showers/toilets and you can’t shower at the same time otherwise they are stone cold!!! The pool and spa is great though and the reception staff was so nice. They’re super huge and spacious rooms with a nice view of the water.

A friend suggested we stay at the Iconic Kirra and we are so glad we took her advice.
Reception staff are friendly, welcoming and available during business hours to assist if required.
We stayed on the 3rd floor with an oceanfront room and it did not disappoint. The view was incredible and we spent hours sitting on the large balcony watching the whales.
Kitchen had all the necessities inc. fridge, freezer, kettle, cutlery, toaster etc.
There is also a washing machine, iron, laundry rack which was helpful!
Master bedroom is large and bed/pillows were very comfortable. We had our 9 month old in the second bedroom in the portacot.
Location is ideal as everything is in walking distance with lots of great cafes and restaurants underneath the apartment complex.
Pool is great and has a lovely undercover area as well as plenty of sun beds lining the pool. The only downside is that in the afternoon not a lot of sunshine hits the pool area so it can get quite cool. On the plus side, the beach is literally across the road!
We would definitely book again if we are every holidaying in the GC.

Iconic Kirra Beach was a great place to stay.
Fabulous ocean views.
Restaurants downstairs were very convenient.
Apartment 1002 was lovely and very well presented.
We had a really nice stay.
Thankyou

Fabulous location, very helpful staff. Rooms were excellent this is our second stay this year and we stayed in the oceanfront top floor. Loved being able to whale watch from our balcony, can highly recommend.

A great place to stay in the quieter area of Kirra Beach. It's located well with cafes and restaurants right nearby and access to beach right there.
The staff have been amazing and we're so kind to us when we needed to change our dates. I recommend booking with them directly rather than through another site as they give same price and can manage your booking personally.
The apartments are great, bed very comfortable, equipped with everything you need and even provided with initial items such as to, dish washing liquid, laundry liquid etc even though the apartments are non-serviced.
Would recommend and stay again.

Really enjoyed our stay. Room was clean, modern and great facilities. The beds were so comfortable - nice and firm. Pool area was great (pool a little cold!) Beach was perfect. Not busy. Nice restaurants and cafes along the small strip. Unfortunately it was noisy in the mornings (roadworks). But would definitely return.

Absolutely loved our stay!! Clean and comfortable. Will definitely be back. Great central spot! Can walk or ride to so many different locations

With its pristine sandy shores, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and a laid-back atmosphere, it offers a perfect blend of relaxation and natural beauty. Surfers and beachgoers can enjoy the great waves, while the stunning views and picturesque sunsets make it an ideal spot for leisurely strolls or picnics. Coolangatta Beach captures the essence of the Gold Coast's coastal charm and is a must-visit destination for beach lovers.

We loved it. Beautiful and clean. Awesome view from the 15th floor. Even noticed when when we took our recycled goods down to the bin area, so clean and tidy. And never any smell of rubbish anywhere. Excellent job to all working so hard to make your place such a lovely place to stay. Front office staff were brilliant as well, when we booked in. Definitely coming back. Thanks for making our holiday so memorable

We booked a 2 bedroom suite and were quite disappointed on the basic furnishings. The room hadn't been maintained at all. A linen closet had no handle(it was sitting on shelf) The shared bathroom door handle was loose and didn't lock from the main room. Bed linen was at a minamim. On checking out we dropped the keys at drop off and realised we had left some small gifts on kitchen bar. After immediately calling reception, they said they were unable to open the room for us to retrieve the gifts til cleaning staff went in. I contacted hotel on the Monday and I have not had any call back since March14th...Not very professional at all...

Amazing sunsets on the rocks

Booked a 1 bedroom apartment with DeVille Apartments for a weeks stay in Main Beach. Absolutely stunning views right in the waters edge. Amazing staff at the reception, always so kind and responsive! The apartment was in the heart of everything, across the road is the surf lifesaving club with delicious food, and you are able to swim literally off your doorstep! The Uber ride into surfers is roughly $7 and takes 5 min. Or you can jump on the e-bikes or walk the esplanade for amazing views. Overall this apartment was amazing!! Will be defs coming back to this apartment for our next stay!!

Room was lovely, pool was great and excellent location- however, the low star rating is for a SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. We were on the 6th floor and all bedroom windows opened the entire way (some up to a meter wide maybe) and had NO screens. Also, they are very easy to open. Anyone with young children should avoid at all costs. Is this even legal in Australia? Pic shows hight and size of windows (didn't take one when open).

Alto astral, ótimas vibrações! Praia linda demais!!!

The location is perfect. Easy to get to from the airport, in fact we walked! The rooms were spacious and uncluttered making it easy for storage when travelling . The ocean front room we stayed in had stunning panoramic views . The Iconic is surrounded by high standard food and coffee. The staff are exceptional, you knew you were being cared for in a professional friendly courteous manner.
Their advice of places to eat and visit were accurate. They also organised where certain discounts may apply.
After only one day since returning home We are already looking to rebook

Very nice apartment, wouldn’t mind relocating here, to stay for good. But need a job and rent money to pay for it. Ideal for myself and teenager.

Location is great, we were lucky to get a water view..
Furnishings were modern, couch was leather and comfortable. The beds were horrendous especially in the 2nd bedroom - they were so hard my back was in spasms every morning and I could hardly walk. Nearly packed up and came home early..
They definitely only supply 1 of everything, 1 dishwasher tablet, 1 dish liquid sachet, 1 garbage bag, 1 roll of toilet paper. I really believe you should be supplied 1 of everything for every day of your stay. If they require you to buy your own they should let you know in advance so you can pack them and bring with you from home..
We stayed in October and weather was mid to high 20's, I would absolutely hate to have stayed in summer, no bedrooms are air-conditioned, only the loungeroom, we nearly moved our beds into the loungeroom.
The bedrooms did have ceiling fans but even on high it would have spun faster turning it with your finger. We had to ring downstairs for them to bring up pedestal fans too, we had them both going to help. So I would definitely not stay in summer or stay if you don't like really hard beds. Other than that was ok. Restaurants downstairs were great but none of them deliver to your room nor can you even order over the phone and go down to collect.
Our 2nd bedroom didn't even have a wardrobe to unpack anything, our suitcases had to stay in the loungeroom.
I don't think we would stay again as our priority in accommodation first and foremost is comfort , then air-conditioning followed by view...

I would rate 0 star if I could. Our experience was completely ruined by someone living at the apartment taking our car spot for half of our stay. Management and owner clearly did not care and promised compensation initially however decided not to fulfil this promise post our stay. Very disappointing experience and would not recommend at all.

I would not recommend, the room we stayed in did not look like the photos. The internet photos date back some decades. The room we were in was falling apart, very dirty needed a desperate deep clean. The receptionist was short with her attitude. The pool and spa are was amazing, the location was amazing, the parking was great.

Lucky enough to stay on Level 25 - amazing beach and gold coast views! The apartment was clean, comfortable, well-equipped (kitchen, laundry and bathrooms), easily accessible, underground parking, friendly staff, well maintained. (We went for the view rather than a renovated apartment but our room was perfectly fine).
Great pool and spa, Australia Fair shopping centre close by, very short trips to theme parks.
Highly recommend this place and hope to stay there again in the future.

(Vacuum cleaner didn't work and no replacement was provided despite requests but who wants to vacuum on holidays anyway??)

Great apartment, close to everything you need. Mel was a wonderful host and answered any questions we had. Recommend here for a nice weekend away to chill out. Janelle

It is an amazing place to stay, all the staff are really friendly and willing to help. The only bad thing that will say is that the shower head would either point extremely to the or right. Apart from that could not fault it at all. It is in the perfect spot to the theme parks and to surfers paradise

What a great place.
I spent a lot of time sitting on the balcony watching dolphins in the surf.
Great walking track near by for a morning walk.
Would get 5 🌟 but our check in was delayed.

The home was clean and well equipped. The view is great and the verandah is large.
We enjoyed our time there. The garage is huge to park your cars and secure the bicycles.
One negative was the wifi (albeit unlimited wifi) was next to useless. Speed tests showing 0.05Mbps. Unfortunately our mobiles also all had woeful reception.
The downstairs bedroom with the double bed would really benefit with A/C as it was very warm and humid at night.
Apart from the minor negatives we enjoyed everything else about the house.

We took the grandchildren (10 and 7 years old) and they loved it. When they weren't in the swimming pool there is a fantastic playground nearby and a short drive takes you to Peel Zoo.

Good location, easy to get everywhere, variety of food options nearby. Unit needed to be cleaned better, floor was sticky and dirty. Restaurant on the river not worth the walk. Ravenswood hotel better

A very nice place to stay and very homly. The cabin was very nice, homely and spacious, the pool was very big and a great place to cool off on a hot day as well as the beautiful surroundings filled with very friendly locals. However, on our second night our smoke alarm was beeping and we couldn't turn it off and had a rough night's sleep. The next morning the maintenence personell came and fixed it but then it went off again for yet another night. I was a bit disappointed that it couldn't get at all fixed. Also the televisions remote controllers didn't work at all. We had to use the side of the TV and the DVD player to control the TV. It was quite dissapointing but other that that is was a very nice place to stay in

I really enjoyed my stay. Apartments have all you need and are fresh and clean. Ahhhhh the SERENITY. thank you for having us. Great food at the Jettys restaurant. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.reguards the Lothians 6030

Spent a week here. Apartment was well appointed. Good location for easy access to Mandurah Pinjarra and locations further south. Miami Bakery a must. Peel zoo good value. A lot of food places most serve quality dishes.

Lovely setting and we enjoyed being right on the waters edge and seeing the ducks, the gorgeous swans and the pelican. Great for families with young children. On the down side, one of the pools were out of operation and the amenities were a little run down. The service at reception could have been better especially when we first arrived.

What a relaxing holiday destination clean and inviting with great friendly staff on a man made lake with koi fish and other wildlife. Central to many daily excursions from Margaret River to above Perth or some nice walks around the area. For a peaceful or busy holiday you have both here....highly recommend.
