Staff are fabulous! So helpful. Room very small and a bit claustrophobic. 3 day stay but would be ok overnight. Great facilities and pool. Lift didn’t work (same as last stay) Had to carry all our luggage down stairs. Bit hard for elderly people😌

This is part of the KDV Sport complex. Nice room, good bed, clean, BUT the bathroom we had basically had a postcard sized shelf for toiletries (seriously). The sink is square, quite small, and only a small space for a bar of soap. Sure, it does have a medicine cabinet but that won't hold my toiletries bag. Other than a space problem in the bathroom it is a great place. Free mini-golf, sauna, and pool. Bit of a walk from hotel to sport complex.

This place was great because it is attached to a sports complex where you can access tennis courts, gym, sauna, and a driving range included with your stay. We didn't like that the hotel didn't provide a hot breakfast in the restaurant.

Great location with fun sport facilities, plenty of parking, fabulous restaurant onsite and cool casual dining (bar) nearby. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. Definitely want to come back with the family or for another girls weekend away. With a soccer field, free mini golf, pickle ball, paddel ball, tennis courts, gym, heated indoor pool, onsite infinity pool and golf driving range straight off the nearby sports bar, it would be a fantastic getaway for everyone.

Good location, quiet not busy. We went during easter holiday. The restaurant downstairs is very handy and the food tastes good. Clean and good size room. Again I requested king bed but they put double bed together and covered with a bed sheet. I also confirmed that on the phone. They did it to other guests as well. Free parking which should be for every hotel. You already paid for the room why should you also pay for the parking. It doesn’t make sense. Overall, we will be back there again.

The room itself was great but I couldn’t change the aircon as the once you press the up or down with the temperature it would go up to 28° and there was no way to lower the temperature so you would have to go to admin just to change the air con temp. For the parking it was confusing if the “underground” parking is staff parking or customer parking as there was not many parks and almost had to park in the car parks 50 meters away

Food an drink options were good there was a larger range to drink from than other hotels. The staff and facilies were very clean an friendly an willing to help at any point, everything that we had to go to was in walking distances if your willing to walk 25 minutes to the train station. The breakfast and dinner side of things when it comes to paying was a hit an miss with different people serving you e.g asking your room number to charge at the end of the stay, if we werent honestly at the receltion about having breakfast and dinner we wouldnt have gotten charged. But over all it was a great little getaway and lovely place to stay.

Accessible room was good but nowhere to put soap in shower and nowhere to put other toiletries as was only a tiny shelf available. In main room there was no suitcase holder so case had to be put on desk to enable easy access. Lovely area to relax near pool and look out over sports precinct. Lovely meal in restaurant,but continental breakfast very basic. Parking area good. Would consider staying there again if ever back in area.

Although this property is pretty far from major tourist destinations in Gold Coast (~1 hour by bus/train to the theme parks and Surfers Paradise), we still love its location because it's quiet and peaceful. It's close to bus stops that would take you to the nearest train station (Nerang). The staff were also accommodating. This hotel is perfect for those with cars because it's also close to a petrol station. You'll be far from the noise of the CBD but close enough so you can drive there in less than 20 minutes.

Nice place to stay. I chose this place as i did not want to stay in surfers. I didnt rent a car, however i could still get anywhere from public transportation within 5-10min walk of the property. The hotel is very sportung orientated with a high class gold and tennis facility that ajoins the property. The property is wuiet and clean, and the reception was very nice.
