Well maintained building and facilities. Very spacious clean unit with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Easy walk to restaurants and beach but away from the noise. Would happily stay again.
The pool is excellent. Location is excellent. That’s the only good.
Condition of the apartment is terrible. Furniture is old, rundown and on its last legs. Apartment felt grimy and unclean. Don’t think it has been properly scrubbed in years. Bathroom showers are rusty and toilets have old uncleanable filth. Very unpleasant to reside in.
Mix up with reception regarding late check out for a late flight. Receptionist ended up allowing use of unit till we left. Very kind. Very unpleasant to have to pay additional fees for swim towels and to borrow tennis rackets and balls. Quite unnecessary.
Unit needs to be properly maintained, properly cleaned and updated furniture before being leased.

This is our 4th visit and we were not disappointed. A well managed and maintained property with great pools for the children and small length pool for adults. Good extra facilities; tennis court and gym. It is well located for beach and Cotton Tree beach offers calm water. The nearby French bakery was popular and the local area offers many food options and our favourite Indian restaurant. Always a relaxing stay.

Property is nice, large appartments for family of 6. We did however find small pieces of glass on the carpet and old food, which was disappointing. Overall a great stay. Kids loved the pool area and bowling next door made it easy for rainy days

Enjoyed the quiet location but still so close to the beach. Facilities for kids are great. Spacious apartments with lovely views. Furniture and decor is just a bit tired, however expected that when booking so it wasn’t a surprise and I felt the price reflected that.

We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment for 10 nights. On review of photos and other reviews these apartments are all different and it seems a bit of luck what room you get. Our apartment overall was ok, but the furniture was tired, the beds sank in the middle, the bathrooms had mould in the drains and a horrible smell, every bedrooms window had gaps and a wind constantly blowing in. The cleaning in the apartment wasn’t great with dirt and dust through out.
The property itself was great, the gardens and pool were fantastic as well as the gym and sauna. Communication from reception about baby cot and after hours check in was great so no faults there.
Location is also really good in a nice quote area set back from the beach but walking distance to cafes, bars and restaurants.

Great stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the Mirage. Great communication from the Property Manager ahead of check in and throughout our stay.
Apartment Twenty One was well equipped with plenty of mugs/glasses/crockery - perfect for our family of four adults and two children.
The apartment was very clean as were the grounds. Each of the pools was spotless - all in all a very well maintained complex. All of the staff we met were very friendly too, we came away with the impression that this is a well cared for and managed resort.
Beach is only a few minutes flat walk away so very handy for our small children.
We'd definitely return if we're in the area again.

Everything was great except for having no aircon in the bedrooms. The main bedroom was very hot making it uncomfortable to sleep in. The rest of the apartment was fine. Friendly staff. Awesome pool. Nice views.

The view was amazing, the apartment was spacious and comfortable, the facilities were fantastic, and it had the best (real) sauna of any hotel I've visited in Australia.
Hotel staff were polite, the apartment had everything I needed, and it was just a two minute walk past the lake to reach the beach - where there were multiple restaurant options and a botte-o. There is also a major shopping centre about 5 minutes drive up the road.
As it was a working trip, the desk area was quite useful, although the Wi-Fi left a little to be desired for my needs. Foxtel on the TV was a great way to keep the little one entertained too!
If you're a fan of 10-pin bowling, there is also a bowling alley right next door (not that you'd know it from the room, as you never heard anything from there).

We found the facilities & location great for our needs.
As we had grandchildren & family visit us, to celebrate our birthdays & having the playground, skate park, beach close by, as well as The Mirage’s wonderful swimming/ bbq facilities, gave us variety of options to keep us all happy.
We booked a lovely 3 bedroom for ourselves, my parents & sister. We had two cars over 2 of our 3 night stay & would have be great to have the second car remain in the visitors car park instead of moving it twice.
We noticed was shower pressure in ensuite & main bathroom wasn’t the best. Taking some time for the hot water to arrive & spending longer time washing shampoo from hair.
The unit was very comfortable & we enjoyed staying there.

Disappointed especially for the price
It is not a serviced apartment. The supplies like garbage bags, toilet paper, dishwashing liquid etc is very minimal for 2 nights. You have to buy all the essentials like salt, pepper, cooking oil, washing powder etc which all adds up. Yhen had to keep washing oour towels, hand towels etc frequently for a long stay. The place had hair on the floor in bathrooms and bedrooms, mould in bedroom and bathroom and thick layers of dust on aircons. One of the toiletd didnt flush preoperly either. The outdoor bbq lights went off every 8 seconds so had to keep waving your hands in front of it whilst eating and cooking. The good part about the place was it was walking distance to restaurants and beach. The pool was also great for all ages.

This was a great place to stay for our family holiday. The apartment was very spacious and had everything we needed in it. The area is lovely and being just off the Main Street made it really quiet, but also a really short walk to the beach. Perfect 👌
