The Beach Retreat Coolum Reviews

If you're looking for fancy, this is not your place. The room was very basic, but had everything we needed for a weekend away. For a simple getaway, this place is great. Directly across the road from the beach entrance. You can be from your room to your feet in the sand in less than 5 mins. You can hear the waves, which we love, but also it's surprisingly quiet with the door closed. Aircon is super efficient. Bed was very comfy, bath tub was great, room was really roomy. The bathroom vanity tap was a bit wonky and spat the water out but we managed fine. We stayed in room 1B which is at the front of the building. We put the outdoor chairs into the rock garden to enjoy the beach view. There was also a table just outside the complex door where we sat for a sunset drink and dinner, for a broader, uninterrupted view of the beach. Staff were friendly, there's undercover secure parking and there are restaurants, cafes, shops just a few steps away.

The room was lovely and clean, bed very comfortable. The view from my room was amazing over looking the beach. Only thing I thought that was lacking was a microwave. It has a kettle, bar fridge, crockery and cutlery. But overall was a great place to stay. Photo is the view from my room.

Great
