"I recently stayed at Norfolk Luxury Beachfront Apartments with a group of friends. We had 2 units on the same floor and it couldn’t have worked out better. The views were fabulous, the apartments were modern, clean, nicely furnished and they had everything we needed. It was only a short walk to Tedder Avenue for dinner and the surf club the next day for lunch. We even managed a swim in the middle of winter, as the pool was heated. We had such a good time and will be back."

Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Gold Coast

📍 71 Seaworld Dr, Main Beach
★★★★★ 8.4 (132 reviews)

"The hotel’s public areas are beautifully designed and well maintained, which initially gave a great impression. However, the room itself was quite outdated and lacked the comfort we expected. Unfortunately, the check-in process was frustrating — we waited over 20 minutes at reception, and the staff member was rather stern and didn’t seem very knowledgeable. Check-out was similarly inefficient, even though we had filled out the express checkout form in advance. Overall, a disappointing experience considering the hotel’s potential."

★★★★ 9.1 (27 reviews)

"We had a fantastic stay. The standout feature was the view—it was absolutely incredible, with an almost 180-degree panoramic outlook over the ocean. We would honestly come back just for the view alone. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had some thoughtful touches, including a Nespresso machine and milk left in the fridge for our arrival, which we really appreciated. The beach is right out the front and is beautiful and supervised. It's about a 20-minute walk to Surfers Paradise, but we actually preferred Main Beach. It's quieter, feels more prestigious, and is just as walkable with nicer places to eat. The staff were excellent—very friendly, responsive, and happy to share helpful local tips. One thing to note is that if you're arriving on a Sunday, you'll need to arrange check-in in advance, as there's no one at the front desk. However, the communication was pretty responsive and well organized that this wasn't a problem at all. Overall, we highly recommend this property. It's a wonderful place to stay, and we'd happily return, especially for those unforgettable views."

"I will not recommend this hotel. Our towels were not changed nor the hand towels and we stayed there for 5days. We were asked to buy milk and toilet papers if we needed more since only 1 pack of each was provided. Behind our bed and bedsides it was so dirty full of dusts. I’m allergic to dust so this was very hard for me. We paid more than $900 for 5 nights and the service we got was not expected. The location is prefect though and the parking space as well."

"Taking into account that we had those massive storms on the Gold Coast and that it appeared to be in the middle of an improvement with new beds. I was extremely disappointed that the air conditioning units, to put it bluntly, were filthy! The two units, even though they were good brands ( Panasonic) when checking the filters, looked as though they had not been cleaned for over 6 months. The filters were CLOGGED with dust and dirt, which made them highly unhealthy for the occupants staying there. The filters had the potential to harbour various air pollutants such as dust particles, pollen, odour, and even bacteria. If you have people allergic to any of these particles, then it’s certain that they have the potential to be affected. For instance, people with asthma or certain allergies might start experiencing difficulties staying in the apartment. Also, some of the bacteria that might make their way into your apartment might cause diseases. When the air filter is dirty, it means that it can’t sieve out the dust, pollen, and other particles from the air. Consequently, the quality of your indoor air is reduced. This means that the air being blown through the vents contains various dust particles and microorganisms that might be harmful to people in the apartment. I know this as I have sold a/c units for over 40 years. I have now retired."

The Waterford on Main Beach ★★★★
"Absolutely outstanding experience here. Simply gorgeous decor and comfortable apartment with views that awe! Clean, hygienic and attention to detail on point. Host Damien and Emma go out of their way to ensure stay is at an optimum level. We stayed in apartment 14, on level 7 and could not fault it. Breathtaking views, ideal for the air show, or simply relaxing and taking in the horizon. European appliances and fresh carpet. Super comfortable beds and little touches that made this trip so memorable. Have already booked again and cannot wait to enjoy this gem."

The Meriton on Main Beach ★★★★
"After reading some of the the reviews I was somewhat concerned. I had read a review mentioning a particular unit and how dreadful it was but I can’t find it again. Very strange! Anyway we arrived only to find we were in that very same unit!😬. We unlocked the door with trepidation only to be pleasantly surprised. The unit is spacious and had a lovely view overlooking the bay. It had everything we needed and it was wonderful to be able to do all our washing ( 4 weeks worth) before flying home to the UK. Just a short walk to the tram. We were here when they were setting up for the Gold Coast 500 but even that didn’t seem to make things busier. it’s a little dated and some of the furnishings are really worn out but that didn’t impact on our stay and also I wouldn’t furnish out a rented property in the very best decor because it will get damaged. All in all very good value for money and we loved the apartment living. We’ve always been hotel people but this experience has made us think again. "

Oscar on Main Beach Resort ★★★★
"The two bedroom apartments are very spacious with full size kitchen, small laundry and two bathrooms, it was perfect for our family of four. Having your own personal parking spot in the basement at no extra cost is an added bonus. While the hotel is not in the midst of Surfers Paradise it is accessible to cafes, the beach and has a nice relaxed feel as opposed too being noisy & busy like a hotel in Surfers Paradise."
