What guests think

The Mirage Resort Alexandra Headland draws consistent praise for its quiet, family-friendly setting near the beach, with multiple pools and handy leisure facilities, while spacious apartments and walkable access to dining and shops make stays convenient for many.

Several guests highlight helpful, polite staff, though one reported a rude checkout interaction. Room quality differs between units, with some dated furnishings, no bedroom air conditioning in several, and occasional maintenance or Wi‑Fi issues. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, ranging from very clean apartments to concerns about dust, bathroom odours or mould, and missed items like glass or old food. Overall, expect a convenient base with strong facilities and variable apartment standards.

This is our 4th visit and we were not disappointed. A well managed and maintained property with great pools for the children and small length pool for adults. Good extra facilities; tennis court and gym. It is well located for beach and Cotton Tree beach offers calm water. The nearby French bakery was popular and the local area offers many food options and our favourite Indian restaurant. Always a relaxing stay.

Everything was great except for having no aircon in the bedrooms. The main bedroom was very hot making it uncomfortable to sleep in. The rest of the apartment was fine. Friendly staff. Awesome pool. Nice views.

The view was amazing, the apartment was spacious and comfortable, the facilities were fantastic, and it had the best (real) sauna of any hotel I've visited in Australia. Hotel staff were polite, the apartment had everything I needed, and it was just a two minute walk past the lake to reach the beach - where there were multiple restaurant options and a botte-o. There is also a major shopping centre about 5 minutes drive up the road. As it was a working trip, the desk area was quite useful, although the Wi-Fi left a little to be desired for my needs. Foxtel on the TV was a great way to keep the little one entertained too! If you're a fan of 10-pin bowling, there is also a bowling alley right next door (not that you'd know it from the room, as you never heard anything from there).

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment for 10 nights. On review of photos and other reviews these apartments are all different and it seems a bit of luck what room you get. Our apartment overall was ok, but the furniture was tired, the beds sank in the middle, the bathrooms had mould in the drains and a horrible smell, every bedrooms window had gaps and a wind constantly blowing in. The cleaning in the apartment wasn’t great with dirt and dust through out. The property itself was great, the gardens and pool were fantastic as well as the gym and sauna. Communication from reception about baby cot and after hours check in was great so no faults there. Location is also really good in a nice quote area set back from the beach but walking distance to cafes, bars and restaurants.

Property is nice, large appartments for family of 6. We did however find small pieces of glass on the carpet and old food, which was disappointing. Overall a great stay. Kids loved the pool area and bowling next door made it easy for rainy days

Enjoyed the quiet location but still so close to the beach. Facilities for kids are great. Spacious apartments with lovely views. Furniture and decor is just a bit tired, however expected that when booking so it wasn’t a surprise and I felt the price reflected that.
