“What I appreciate is the position across from the Broadwater, providing a relaxing atmosphere despite its proximity to the main attractions of the Gold Coast. The self-contained apartments are spacious, which is a definite plus for families, and having access to facilities like the tennis court and spa adds value. Though some aspects require attention, its location near shopping and dining strikes a practical balance for those seeking a budget-conscious base.”

I had a mixed experience at Harbour Side Resort during my stay. While the location was convenient and the room was clean, I encountered several issues that affected my comfort, including noise disturbances and problems with my initial room. The amenities were basic but acceptable for the price, though some updates are clearly needed.
Rooms

The room I first received wasn't cleaned and still had rubbish from previous guests, which was quite shocking. After waiting for a replacement room, I did get upgraded, but overall, the rooms felt outdated and in need of improvement. Some details like the broken blinds really stood out.

The facilities were pretty basic, and while there was a laundry option available, the overall maintenance could definitely be improved. The pool and spa areas looked nice, but I didn't get the chance to use them.

My stay at Harbour Side Resort was a bit of a mixed bag. While I loved the location-it was close to the beach and the Australian Fair-the room left a lot to be desired. The cleanliness was questionable, with noticeable wear and tear around the place, and issues like a dirty sofa and mould in the bathroom were hard to overlook. On the plus side, the staff were friendly and the check-in process was smooth.

I can't complain about the location at all-being so close to the beach and shops was super convenient. Plus, the proximity to Broadwaters Parklands made it a great spot for some leisurely walks.

I enjoyed dining at a local cafe near the resort, which had lovely views and decent prices. It was a chill place to grab a bite, though I wished there were more dining options nearby.
Facilities

The facilities were basic. The laundry was decent, but I found myself wishing for a little more overall upkeep and maintenance. The spa was also inaccessible during my visit, which was a bummer.
