“Without dispute - the best beach in Australia, literally on the front doorstep”

Reviewed 9 April 2013 via mobile

The location is absolutely unbeatable, and the managers are probably the friendliest and most generous I have ever come across. Whilst the rooms are a little dated, you just have to step out onto the balcony to remind yourself that you are not there for the decor of the rooms. Really great value for money considering the apartments are literally... More

“Disappointment”

Reviewed 6 April 2013

Was very excited to be staying in the penthouse of the Columbia apartments in beautiful rainbow bay. However my excitement soon turned to utter disappointment from the moment I walked in. It was the worst apartment I have ever stayed in and I think the owners should be ashamed that they actually rent it out. Apart from being totally unrenovated... More

“Perfect location, dated property”

If you want to take a trip to the Gold Coast with young children you just can't go past Coolangatta and Rainbow Bay. The beach here is great, there are loads of playgrounds set up all along the water front and everywhere you look are families with little kids. No seedy nightclub scene here. There are a number of surf... More

Thank you for your review. Rainbow Bay has so much to offer for families who enjoy the peace & quiet. I have to agree with you, the Northerly winds you describe were particularly horrendous last year – the locals still talk about them. Reviews such as these help other people choose the option that is best for them so I... More

“Great Family Accommodation”

Reviewed 21 March 2013

Very comfortable accommodation in a fabulous location at an excellent price. Reception were very helpful & friendly but we barely needed them other than to check in & checkout. Apparently rooms can vary quite a bit so get them to send you photos before you book. We chose a lovely room than had nice decor & was fully renovated. Stay... More

“Unbeatable location”

Reviewed 24 January 2013

The best thing about this place is the location. Rainbow Bay is just magic and this would have to be the best located accommodation there. We stayed on the 14th floor and the views were wonderful, it was fantastic being able to see everyone on the beach or in the pool while I stayed at 'home' with the baby. However... More

“Great Place, Beautiful Views”

We've been staying at Columbia for years now and each time we come back it feels like home. We've stayed in various apartments over the years from the 3rd level to the Penthouse and all have been great units. Our preference is for middle units but the end ones are also good.

Location - Directly Opposite excellent beach & twenty metres from the Rainbow Bay Surf Club , they serve great meals. I found our apartment (Level 6) to have great views of the beach. The apartment itself was very clean and there were no problems with services. The beds weren't too bad but thats subjective, everyone has their own preferences i... More

Having stayed here several times I have found it comfortable and spacious. Although the building is now an older style it is well maintained with most facilities required for a decent holiday.

“Fabulous Views! Plenty of space.”

Reviewed 16 October 2012

We stayed on the top floor of the Columbia and found the spaciousness of the apartment, the fabulous views and the location first class. Situated across from a lovely bay and with lots of interesting walkways made for a really relaxing holiday. The girls loved the pool and sitting on the decks watching the whales pass by was a highlight.... More

Dear Tor A Thank you for taking the time post your first review on Tripadvisor.
