Only complaint is not really knowing whether your car park is Ground or Basement and if in the Basement, finding it if alone upon arrival.

Check in procedure a bit tricky and not very clear communication regarding parking, but once you’ve got this sorted, it’s all good. The property itself is clean, great space for families, convenient central spot and secure. We really enjoyed it and will definitely return here.

The room is neat and tidy, and the view and openness on the balcony is very pleasing. The water pressure is a little low (which takes longer) and the free laundry facility was greatly appreciated.. a 2nd clothes dryer would be handy as it is shared by short and longer-term stays. The closeness of this property to the hospital is a big feature. Thank you!

Staying at Northshore Kawana for the first time, i was pleasantly surprised. I booked on-line through a third party, booking was easy and images were exactly what the property looked like. Northshore is centrally located to shopping facilities, car was locked up and under cover. It was a pleasant stay and i will return..!

The location of this property was close by to many amenities that were of need to my family. We were a little disappointed in availability of parking as our vehicle was above the height for the parking provided and due to this we had to pay for parking on the street for a few days. Communication and service from staff was fantastic and they were always helpful.

The property is clean and relatively new so in good condition. It’s designed for maximum efficiency so don’t expect any service from staff. Bed was comfortable. Netflix didn’t work. The most annoying thing is conflicting instructions for check in and check out. It’s a confusing system for parking and key pick up and drop off. I received emails and texts with different instructions and mislabelled keys. Not a huge deal but don’t go there if you want a pleasant human interaction

Amazing apartment with stunning view. Issues over parking despite a call to let them know my car is tall. They said no problem, there is ALWAYS plenty of visitors space available. This was not the case. The visitor spaces were full of little cars that could be in the underground car park. Won't be able to stay again due to this issue.

I was unaware that when you book that it is not necessarily North Shore, Find out that I am at Waterline once I have the keys and need to drive further to the next place. Park and then try yo got second Floor but they didn't put a Lift Fob on the Key Ring. Overall took about an hour standing in the Foyer area after first trying to contact Vine that I didn't have a Lift Fob. Convincing them that I wasn't lying was a feat in itself. The guy who eventually came was the only good experience in the saga. When you book out there is no key box. You need to go back to North Shore, try and park in the street and return the keys as everyone there seems to park in the Visitors spots leaving no parking spots to either pickup or drop off keys.

Leider entsprach der Zustand des Zimmers nicht ganz unseren Erwartungen. Die Sauberkeit hätte besser sein können. Zudem war das Lavabo verstopft, und es waren unangenehme Gerüche sowohl im Gang als auch im Zimmer wahrnehmbar. Ebenfalls fehlten teilweise Reinigungsmittel. Insgesamt sehen wir hier Verbesserungspotenzial und hoffen, dass diese Punkte künftig berücksichtigt werden.

We were incredibly disappointed with our recent stay. While the apartment itself was a decent size, it was in unacceptable condition upon arrival and did not match the standard that was advertised. Cleanliness was a major issue — there was hair in the bathroom and visible dust and grime on most surfaces. The apartment also had multiple maintenance problems, including cracks and damage to the walls, missing globes in several lamps, and non-functioning WiFi, despite it being listed as included. Most concerning was the presence of black mould. It was found on the “freshly cleaned” sheets in the main bedroom on arrival, and the sheets were not replaced until two days later. We also found mould in the showers, on the shower heads, and even on the faucets in the bathroom. This poses a serious health and hygiene risk and should not be present in any guest accommodation. We raised these issues with the booking provider but have had no resolution, apology or compensation. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would strongly avoid staying here.

Air-conditioning fine.kitchen benchtop had grease from food, garbage bin lid was dirty, no follow-up from reception staff in property vine reception when i complained about the loud noise coming from 6th floor where tiles were being removed by what sounded like jackhammer. That went on all morning driving me out of the apt. Balcony had restricted water view but continual loud noise of traffic crossing the bridge, really loud. Shower door did not close fully and the tracks in serious need if renovation. In all, it was very disappointing and not worth what i paid

This property is disgustingly filthy. I alerted reception, who basically told me it was my fault for not telling them sooner. After checking in we popped into the apartment, changed our clothes then went back out till late, came back and to bed, the next morning my children both had surgery at 7am and I was unable to leave them that day. When i told them this it was still a case of you should have told us, no apology. Please don’t stay here if you are having surgery as it is unsanitary. Which is a shame as the proximity to the hospitals is handy. Thick dust everywhere, spilt food and drink all over the kitchen and fridge and on walls throughout. Black mould on windows and in washing machine. Floors are so filthy they leave dirt on your feet.

Was expecting an apartment with a water view - as per the booking site photos. Got one overlooking the car park. Considering the middle of nowhere location and the lack of expected view the property was not worth the price paid and as such would not be recommended for other travellers.

After our long journey from NSW, the cold air conditioning was a welcome relief. Easy booking with great communication before and during our stay. A reserved undercover car parking was allocated for us. It was close to amenities and a short drive to the beach. Highly recommend.

Quite disappointed on my stay, the main reason I booked this property is the beautiful water views show on the photo but I ended up with a studio facing the car park with no views at all. This is very misleading and not worth the money in this instance as the area is quite far from the centre and childcare just opposite the building, we can hear noises in the morning, not recommend.

We were quite disappointed with our stay. We arrived shortly after 2pm to check in, only to be told our room was not ready. We spoke to a very rude receptionist who was not very helpful and gave no information about parking, room location etc. When we arrived to our room, our room was still dirty. My husband swept the floors while I did a once over of the kitchen. At shower time we noticed that both showers had a significant amount of mould in them. Up the walls and on the roof. Reception was informed the next day but no one came to fix anything.

Stayed for 1-week. The check-in clerk was very friendly and helpful in checking me in and acquiring the room key and showing me how to open the garage gate and accessing the security check points leading to my room. Great location. Close to the ocean and close to all the places I intended to visit. The place was quiet and clean. The bed was comfortable. Water pressure was good and hot. Private balcony with a great view of the grounds and the river. Nice kitchenette, but no table or chairs to eat your food in comfort, so I had to commandeer one of the patio chairs and bring it inside and use the shelf under the TV to eat and write down any notes I needed. This was the first place where it was a requirement of me to toss out all accumulated trash from the room prior to checkout, but that wasn't a big deal. I felt this was a good deal for what I paid.

Think of a 1990s office kitchen with a bed in it and that’s is the apartment I stayed in 53b. Wasn’t clean TV wouldn’t load. No bulb in the bedside table lamp. Water pressure pathetic. Could hardly even get a glass of water. Walls and ceiling and dirty and lots of scuff marks. No where opened on weekend to get anything to eat. Warm welcome though from staff bit would not recommend
