Carool Holiday Apartments

What guests think

At Carool Holiday Apartments, guests consistently praise the sweeping ocean views and walkable location near the beach and surf clubs, along with friendly, hands-on managers and spacious units, though several note nearby construction noise, ageing decor, and limited air conditioning.

Cleanliness is generally good, but some reviews mention stained carpets or missed details like dusty louvres and grubby sofa covers. Expect a scenic, walkable base with warm service, but confirm unit amenities and nearby construction status if noise or summer heat are concerns.

Overall this is a good apartment and is a good place to stay. However, there were two key problems - Major construction - likely to last the next 2 years - not relaxing at all. No one wants construction noise on holidays. Couldn't open windows, sit near the pool, enjoy the balcony - just horrible. Also, we don't mind tired apartments if they are clean. The carpet really needs to be replaced. No one feels good in a space where there are serious stains all over white carpet.

The unique thing about this wonderful property is that there is plenty to see and do. Whether it is taking a short stroll to the beautiful Snapper Rocks or enjoying the Sunset at the Surf Club. You will find the amenities in tip top condition, and the best thing is, it’s a great place to have fun.. whichever yours is.

The views were stunning. The bed was comfortable with nice linen. Apartment was spacious. Housecleaning needs to improve. Grimy artificial plants and wooden window louvres. Grubby covers on lounge room sofa's. Apart from that, a pleasant stay.

Rooms

Apartments are spacious and comfortable with sweeping ocean views. Several are dated, and the lack of air conditioning or window screens led some to uncomfortably warm nights or mosquitoes in warmer weather.

Best location you can ask . 2 minutes walking to Snappers rock . Tina, the manager was great, very attentive and helpful. The con about our stay was that the apartment didn’t have windows screens or screen doors. We rented the apartment on the first floor and once we opened the windows we got a mosquito issue in the unit. We were told that we could sleep with our windows open and screens was not necessary but unfortunately that was not the case . We had to sleep with all the windows closed and that was a bummer . The weather was not super hot outside otherwise it would have been miserable. Tina, the manager gave us some citronella , bug sprays and fans , that was helpuful.

Excellent location. What a pleasant surprise it was walking into this unit. A spacious, well appointed unit with fantastic views over Snapper Rocks and Rainbow Bay. A very short walk to the beach, and handy to Rainbow Bay Surf Club. Everything you could want on vacation. Comfort, food, beach and bar. Highly recommended.

I travel a lot and don’t normally review . I’ve never been so disappointed in a stay than this . Sure it didn’t specify air conditioning but it was so hot , a room ceiling fan didn’t work so a portable one was left for us . It did get fixed but this was my daughters xmas trip and she had to sleep on the lounge the first night as she was uncomfortable. Even third world countries have A/C . There was a discussion of construction noise but manager told me it was barely audible now …. 7 am on Saturday morning the workers were cutting with machines tiles and it didn’t stop , you couldn’t escape it . It had a lovely view . Overall just very disappointing where for $200 extra for 5 days we could have stayed at sea world resort as an example which has AC and plenty more . I wouldn’t stay here again
