Perfect location for a family getaway. The mall is directly across the road and has a great variety of shops and food options; the beach is a short walk away and there is green space for soccer practice. Plus it’s directly next door to the spa/steam/cold plunge at Core Revival.

Really nice hotel but after hours check-in is a bit confusing, was told there would be an envelope for me with details but there was none upon arrival. There are also multiple entries. Our room was out of shower gel and had a plastic bag over the smoke detector. Overall happy with our stay and location just wish the room was better presented, too many small details to be annoyed over, such as stains in microwave, half full water mug in fridge, still water in the kettle from previous guests, 2 smaller doonas dressed as one etc

We found the one bedroom apartment very spacious with very good amenities. it was very clean with 2 smart TV's including one in the bedroom. The location is excellent because it is just across the road from a large shopping centre, 5 minute walk to the beach including a surf club so the overall experience was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lowanna Beach Resort.
