Top Coolum Creek Nature Refuge Hotel Reviews

Sand Dunes Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Reception staff were lovely and really helpful. They went out of their way to meet our requests and we were grateful to be granted early check in as well as a small change to the bedding configuration to better suit out group. The unit was modern, spacious and well appointed. This resort has pretty much everything you could desire - huge swimming pool, public spa and located within a minutes walk to the beach. We had a beach house which had a lovely hot tub on the roof as well as a second private spa in the main bedroom. Both were well utilised. Location is great with fairly direct beach access (no need to cross a road) and easy access to Mudjimba. It is below the flight path. Personally we enjoyed this but it might not be to everyone's tastes. Our group had fun plane spotting from the hot tub! If you are staying more than a weekend it would be advisable to BYO toiletries, dishwashing supplies etc. The only small improvements that could be made would be to the occasionally sketchy wi-fi and a little more attention to cleanliness. For example, the front of the toilet door was clean on one side but when it was shut there was a noticeable amount of dirty brown finger marks. Overall though the unit was clean and tidy so these were minor things in an otherwise wonderful stay. We would definitely love to stay again! We were a group of adults but we all commented that it would be a great stay with kids (there is even a skate park across the road!). Highly recommended."
