Waterfront Wonder

From the minute Sara checked us in and provided vouchers for a free beverage each and 10% off our meal at the restaurant, to her remembering our names every time we saw her smiling face, the overall experience couldn't have been better. The Duty Manager & bar staff were also very professional, friendly and incredibly helpful whilst dining at the restaurant. Our room had been recently refurbished, so everything was clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable, the shower lovely and hot, and the room was very dark and quiet during the night. Will definitely return the next time we are staying at the Sunshine Coast.

The rooms haf been modernised and it was clean and had a new bathroom and a very comfortable Bed but the drive up to the property definitely needs improvement

6/10 Good

I arrived and waited 5min for an attendant to be at reception to check me in. I had a work meeting, so I left and held the meeting from my car instead of the room. When I returned to reception after the meeting concluded, I waited 12min before someone welcomed me at reception. (I know as I received a phone call while waiting) The room was clean, but had a smell to it. For the price I paid, it was not worth it.

Nice location with hotel and restaurant.

Overall a good location for a rest on my journey. Clean fresh room apart from another previous guests used towel hanging on the back of the bathroom door. Queen bed had very little back support as mattress sunk low when I sat on bed to lay down. Very little sleep.had, awake from the middle of the night.In room information said guests get a 10% discount on meals in restaurant but no staff knew about it and not given when purchasing my 2 courses. One staff said she couldn't catch manager to ask but confirmed by manager when our party were leaving the premises..Also on the web booking and hotel info sheet says breakfast pack available but it doesn't exist. Food area of restaurant opens at 11am only after checkout.

Currently renovating the bistro so couldn't get meals but staff directed us to other places to dine. Staff very welcoming and friendly. We will be back to check out the new bistro. Lovely stay here 😀

The only reason condition is rated slightly lower is because of the renovations currently taking place. Apart from that - great food, lovely team, beautiful scenery, good in-room facilities.

River side views were lovely inhouse restaurant was well staffed and presented. The room while clean needed a fresh coat of paint, the lock on the sliding door had been repaired and was loose.

Para ser excelente tem que trocar os colchões ❕

Quarto amplo e o banheiro também. A roupa de cama é excelente e as toalhas também! Tem bons shampoo e condicionador. O colchão é muito mole. O chuveiro é bom! Após horas dirigindo, um bom banho é fundamental!O ar condicionado é eficiente e ainda tem um ventilador de teto. O quarto tem uma varandinha com vista para o rio. O wi-fi é bom! Fomos muito bem recebidos pelo Leight!
