Marine Boutique Apartments by Kingscliff Accommodation

We stayed 2 nights in the 1 bedroom ocean facing apartment. The location is perfect overlooking the ocean with many cafes and restaurants all around. The room was clean and very comfortable with a large modern bathroom and a balcony to sit and enjoy the views. We would definitely stay again if we were to return to Kingscliffe. The apartment is on the third floor with no lift available so the stairs may be of concern to some.

In Kingscliff main area.

room had extremely strong cigarette smell. next door property were so noisy, you can hear everything. location was great, everything you need just downstairs like cafes, restaurants and chemist. ended up having to buy a diffuser to make room smell nice. they also need to upgrade tvs.

Poorly kept, poorly serviced, over priced! Room needs a decent clean (stains on the floor, mould in shower) and a renovation would not hurt (paint peeling, chipboard showing, potentially faulty wiring…. Fridge stopped working day 1). Most of this could be overlooked if I didn’t turn up to a room where there were no pillow cases. Think about that have you ever walked into a hotel room that cost $350+ per night and there were no pillow cases. I rang to ask… reason: linen shortage… ***… the pillow cases were delivered within 30 mins, with a smile! The staff I interacted with were all pleasant and helpful. This review is a reflection on ownership/management!

Unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience - when confirming accommodation the day before I was advised there was no parking onsite however on the ad which stated parking available however I was told that this type of room doesn’t have parking. It was aadvertised as a 1bedroom place & is actually a studio which states this on the actually apartment website but on Wotif it’s advertised as a 1bedroom. We have a new born baby & there was no way I would have booked a place without parking & a studio. On Check In was told that there was an issue with the screen door not being on tracks - it was actually the Glass Door off the tracks – there is no screen door there. It was good that the gentleman did come up straight away & we were able to put back onto the tracks however the rollers are stuffed & it’s a struggle to actually open the door with making the worst noise or making it come of the rails again. The comment from the gentleman was yeah rollers are stuffed & we’ll have to get replaced. A long with that one of the two chairs on the balcony with the table was broken with no pin in the legs which my wife sat on & nearly fell over… In all this made the balcony not really usable.. Then there was the cold tap on the ONLY sink in the place which was in the bathroom which didn't really work either & we had to take water from the bath taps. This was a special occasion with for our first holiday with our bub & for a for this to happen was disappointing.

The location of the apartment was great. Walking distance to most things & opposite the beach. We had a parking spot in the secure garage at $20.00 a night. If you have a small to medium size vehicle it is great but anything larger is a squeeze.There is free parking opposite the apartment which is far better than the garage. We had a 2 bedroom apartment. The kitchen, dining & lounge areas are ma good size space along with the balcony the bedrooms are small. The wardrobe in the main bedroom wasn't able to be used as the hot water system is in there! The unit is dated & wasn't very clean. There is an awning over the main bedroom window which is ripped & looks like it has for a long time & it flaps in the wind. It needs replacing or to be completely removed. I will stay at Kingscliff again but wouldn't recommend these apartments.

It was as expected as previous stays
