Essence Peregian Beach

Amazing room, well design and equipped. Gym was good and well located for Sunshine Coast and Noosa. Staff friendly and would come back.

We stayed at essence over the new year period. It was not unusual for temperatures to exceed 30 degrees. In spite of this, every time we opened a door to access the verandah, or left the apartment for more than 20 minutes the air conditioning in the room automatically turned off. We made the staff aware of this but they said it was how the system was set up and could not be changed. When returning to the room from visiting the beach it was unbearably hot and took a considerable amount of time to cool down especially with no fans in the apartment to assist with air flow. The pools were very small for the number of visitors, much smaller than you would expect for the price and the pictures on the website. It was not pleasant to swim with people practically on top of each other. Although there was a kitchen, there was only the bare minimum of kitchen equipment. An oven but no baking trays etc to use, one small saucepan and a small frypan. It made the kitchen more or less unusually other than the microwave and kettle. There was a large fridge but it was completely stacked with minibar items leaving very little room for us to store our own food. The only thing the staff were attentive with was asking us everyday if the minibar needed restocking! There was also no vacuum or broom in the apartment, even when we asked for one, so there was often quite a lot of sand on the floor from returning from the beach. The view was lovely but there are no ocean views from this accommodation

Can’t fault this place at all! So beautiful! Perfect 5 bedroom house for my family to stay together for my daughter’s 1st birthday. Not to mention the stunning pool and bar. My only wish is that daily housekeeping was included.

We had an amazing stay at Essence Hotel! The room was beautiful, spotless, and had a modern bathroom with great products. Check-in was smooth — reception even waited for us to arrive as we were running a bit late, which was so thoughtful. Car parking was easy to access, and the hotel is in a lovely area with an easy bus ride or short drive into town. The homemade biscuits and friendship bracelets were such a sweet personal touch, and the reception team gave fantastic recommendations for things to do nearby. The only small improvement would be adding some wardrobe space, as we ended up living out of our suitcases. Overall, a wonderful stay and highly recommended!

Essence is a beautiful new high-quality property in the heart of Peregian Beach. I was originally booked into a lovely, spacious double room with a balcony overlooking the biosphere before being upgraded to a two room apartment with full kitchen and laundry facilities and a large balcony overlooking the biosphere. The rooms are all spacious with top quality fittings and fixtures. Beds are very comfortable and a range of different pillows are provided. Evening turn down with handmade chocolates was a nice surprise and a courtesy bottle of sparkling wine on the first day was a lovely touch. Undercover parking is available. There are two heated pools (one with a bar) with beds and umbrellas to choose from and these are nice even though the white sandy Peregian Beach is just few minutes walk away. The boutique shopping nearby offers a wide range of gifts and fashion items and there are pubs, cafes, pizza and fine dining options. There is a surf club, skate park for kids and parks near the beach too. If you want peace and quiet and a chance to unwind then Essence Boutique Hotel itself is a lovely place to do this.

Property was great but hard to navigate. No clear signage on how to leave the premises if you were walking.

Awesome property and overall experience staying here. Close to the beach and the shops at Peregian. The pools are really nice and all the bells and whistles. Gym is great, and the staff really friendly and accommodating. All round a super place to stay. Loved it and will be back

Car parks a bit narrow

Great new hotel that is so refreshing, elegant and eco friendly designed. A 5 star establishment and a credit to its owner and his team. The larger pool was absolutely amazing and so warm that you can swim in it anytime of the year. One of the best I have stayed at. I strongly recommend it. You will love it!

Beautifully styled rooms, but you can tell the developer wanted a hotel in their portfolio, but likely has no hotel experience. The hotel website is an over-sell on the reality of the experience. It’s not a bad hotel, but work is needed to live up to its promises. The soundproofing is not great: exposed concrete ceilings = noise travelling from above. It’s baffling that they didn’t build an entrance to the hotel: car park entrance = not the best first impression. The promise of a pool bar was not the experience offered - in fact, we were made to feel like an inconvenience every time we wanted to spend money buying drinks.

Lovely stay, seems to be newly built with a lot of attention for details. Loved the rooms and pool with national park views!

We paid extra for a room with a view but there was no view. The drains smelled so bad it was like someone had done a number 2 in the bathroom and left it for us which made it hard to sleep.

From the moment I arrived to the time of leaving 'Essence', my time here was extremely enjoyable and comfortable! 🥰 Room 113 provided everything I needed: a very comfortable bed and pillow (for my personal preference); spacious room and bathroom with large shower; coffee machine; Smeg kettle; a well-stocked mini-bar with good quality alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and a snacks hamper (for items to be purchased). 😊 There was also a large television, sofa, round table with two chairs and a balcony with an 'egg' swinging chair, which had a lovely, greenery outlook from inside the room. However, this room was positioned near the property's gated entrance of their carpark. The room and facilities were extremely clean and well maintained and I loved the luxurious ambience of the room and of the overall property. 😍 Also, there is acres of bush and nature right on the other side of this property's boundaries! However, the most impressive part of my stay at Essence On Peregian Beach was the service provided! All the reception attendants and staff were exceptional! Every request was fulfilled obligingly and always with a smile! Thank you for making my stay extremely memorable, enjoyable and very comfortable!!! 🙏 Did I mention the magnesium pools? There are two small pools, one with a bar for your enjoyment! Perfect!!! ☺️ IGA, a pharmacy, bottle shop and a superb cafe 'Outer Square' are just a moment's stroll from Essence for your convenience!!! Thank you! 😍

The staff were so friendly and nice. The premise was clean and new, although it could be a bit cleaner. The building has some issues, like the door to our room was hard to open/close and stuck from the top. The room equipment was good, although I wish there was toothpaste and some more options.

Fantastic complex in the middle of everything. Very clean, amazing service.

Very friendly accomodating staff. Very clean, modern and tasteful surroundings 😊

The staff were friendly and excellent. Very close to the beach and a great vibe in the area. Facilities were modern, new and very clean

Great stay nice quiet and clean

Room had not been cleaned when we checked in. Daily turn down service was not provided, despite hanging the request on the door each day.

A wonderful stay - just wish it had been longer. The 2 bedroom apartment was brilliant - spacious, well equipped and great bathrooms. The staff were excellent - friendly and helpful. The pool area is great and the bar an extra attraction. Could not recommend it more highly

Pool was gorgeous. Everything was as described except I couldn't help but feel like although everything 'looked' right, fixtures and fittings were a bit low in quality. Eg bathroom door didn't close, nowhere to hang towels for 2 guests (other than one towel rail for one towel), no slippers, worn/tired toiletries in the bathroom, bedding wasn't very comfortable and no pillow menu. With that said, the overall ambience and aesthetic is nice - it's just when you really look at things you notice these smaller things. I'll finish where I started - the pool is gorgeous. Plenty of space on daybeds and sufficient shade for a poolside hang. I would come back at the right price.

The room was was fine but the view of the supermarket car park was not. Woke to the sound of a garbage truck emptying industrial bins. Very disappointing.☹️ At least clients should know what they will overlook when they book.

Nice spacious modern room, lovely all round property, short walk to the beach!

Wonderful apartment / hotel for a family of 4! 2 bed /2 bath, kitchen, laundry, wish we had a few more days. We stayed at 5 different hotels over a 18 day trip and this was by far the nicest of the 4/5 star locations be booked.

Absolutely fabulous! Beautiful boutique hotel within easy walking distance to the beach and shops. Excellent service received from the ladies at reception.

I can't fault the accommodation; after check-out, however, I was charged for damage found in a room not used during my stay, without consultation or conclusive evidence. Word of advice: check the room thoroughly beforehand!

Great staff and value for price

the staff were so kind. i had to leave my wedding dress at reception for someone to collect as we were going overseas the next day and they were more than happy to accomodate!

Great property, modern and stylish. Good customer service

Amazing location in Perigian Beach. Close to everything you need and walking distance to the beach. Nice touch with the turn down service.

Very new, well appointed rooms, with everything we needed. An opportunity for a truly restful getaway, and the 2 minute walk to the beach was simply perfect, taking us past beautiful restaurants and clothing stores. We were very lucky we had a good luggage allowance to return home. The beaches were pristine and fabulous for walking. a beautiful holiday.

This is a top quality property, with quality finishings, beautiful attention to detail, very friendly staff (all greeting you with a warm smile), and is in the perfect location - quiet, yet in the heart of everything Peregian has to offer!

Nice spacious modern room, lovely all round property, short walk to the beach!

it is a lovely Hotel and rooms are very spacious - very hard to find even with GPS. Down the lane from the IGA Peregian Beach. Would recommend

Loved the elegant but relaxed beach style. Warm and friendly staff were a stand out in this surprising gem with views over the national park. I loved the short walk to beach and village center.

Gear accommodation with great facilities. The service was good. Location was excellent with walkable beach and shopping options. Didn't really get the afternoon turn down, also the cooling system was finicky at times. All bar items were excessive in pricing and there wasn't a smoking area anywhere. Service could have been better but could be worse too. Overall a Good place.

Beautiful modern aparthotel. Close to the beach and shopping strip with great restaurants. Best place for a relaxing holiday

Comfortable, clean modern property within walking distance of multiple restaurants and beach, staff friendly and helpful

We loved this hotel. A very well decorated place, very modern and lovely friendly staff. The pool was great: modern, clean and the right temperature. The bedtime cookies were a lovely touch. The hotel is close by shops and restaurants and the Peregian Beach.

Fantastic new and clean rooms, beautiful designed and set out. Staff are great. The only downfall is no buffet breakfast which is usually a favourite of ours. However there is an amazing restaurant walking distance for breakfast. Overall would definitely stay again.
