Resort
We are an absolute waterfront building with a private boardwalk right on Pumicestone Passage. There are no roads or public walkways in front of us and you can fish from our boardwalk.
Bulcock Beach is our closest patrolled beach and is an easy 10 minute walk. Kings Beach is the closest patrolled surf beach and is a pleasant 25 minute walk along the waterfront.
Please see our COVID Policy page.
Situated in the middle of Caloundra, we are less than 10 minute walk away from Bulcock Beach, Coles and Woolworths supermarkets, and a large variety of restaurants. See the map and details at our contact page.
Every unit is serviced by an elevator from the carpark to your room.
We are a completely non-smoking resort and smoking is not permitted throughout the entire resort. The interiors of our apartments, patios and balconies, pool area, common areas and waterfront boardwalk are all non-smoking areas.
For our guests who do like to smoke, there are designated smoking areas with chairs, tables and ashtrays for you. Please note that charges apply to guests smoking outside of the designated areas.
Internet access is another way to relax, and we take our relaxing seriously. WiFi internet access is provided completely free of charge in all apartments and common areas. We do not have any arbitrary limits on speed or downloads.
Our connection to the internet is provided by multiple business-grade services that we continuously monitor and regularly upgrade to ensure that you get a great connection.
Absolutely! We have three separate pools and a spa in our pool enclosure. The spa tub is heated to approximately 36 degrees, and one pool is heated to approximately 29 degrees. These two pools are heated all year.
Every apartment has 1 allocated car space in the carpark under the building. Waterfront apartments have 2 allocated car spaces (see our apartments page for details).
Although our motel rooms do not have any guaranteed parking in the undercover carpark, we will always allocate a spare parking space when one is available.
The car park has a height limit of 2.0 metres. It is securely locked at night time but it is left open during office hours. There is a small external off-street visitor parking area which can be used by over-height vehicles.
Sorry, but no. We know that you love your fur family but no pets are permitted inside units or on the grounds of the resort. Registered service animals are welcome.

Apartments
All of our apartments have water views. Our standard and refurbished units have partial water views from the living room and balcony or patio. Our ocean view units have full ocean views, and our waterfront units have panoramic ocean views.
Motel Rooms
We advertise our motel rooms has having no views. Although some motel rooms are on ground floor in front of the pools and have water views, and some rooms have partial views from the balcony, we unfortunately cannot guarantee water views for motel room bookings.
Our superior units are refurbished apartments with newer furnishings and facilities. Most or all of the furniture in the unit has been replaced with new furnishings and the unit itself will have been either fully or partially refurbished. Some apartments have completely new kitchens.
Although our standard units are still clean and functional, the furnishings are older. We are in the process of upgrading all of our apartments, but until the entire apartment has been brought up to a superior class, it is still considered a standard unit.
Both standard and superior apartments have lovely partial water views with views of Pumicestone Passage from the balcony and some of the living area of the unit.
