“Recommend to everyone!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2011

person found this review helpful

We love Mooloolaba and have stayed once or twice a year over the past 12 years or so. This year we chose to stay at Pandanus after staying at another venue for most of the 12 years prior, and have decided we will not be staying anywhere else in Mooloolaba next time we are there! The apartments are huge to say the least and have everything you could want, right down to containers for left overs and scissors, certainly beats trying to open things with blunt knives!!! Two balconies are a luxury, and if you have a full house, a great way to get your own space! The apartments have been well looked after, extremely clean and the managers are extremely friendly and helpful. Easy car parking, lifts to each floor which cater for 1 or 2 apartments only on each level. One block back from the Esplanade and short stroll to main beach and surf club. Would recomend to everyone!

“Great location and well appointed”

We chose Pandanus based on a family recommendation and we weren’t disappointed. The self contained unit was fully air-conditioned, had three large bedrooms and the kitchen had plenty of cooking utensils including a dishwasher. The unit also had two secure undercover parks allocated. The front and back balconies had outdoor dining tables and seats and the complex pool was long enough for a few laps but did feel a bit too cosy at peak swimming times. The location was great, one block back from the beach close to restaurants, shops and grocery store.

“Huge apartment one block back from beach”

Arriving at Pandanus Mooloolaba and parking in the secure undercover parking, checking in was hassle free and staff helpful. The apartment itself was huge with large kitchen and three good sized bedrooms. The main bedroom came with built in robe and ensuite. Apartment had huge front and rear balconies also. The quality of furnishings was excellent and made it a real home away from home as was the well equiped gym. Cleanliness was above par all round with the entire building appearing as new as the day it was built.

Pandanus Mooloolaba is ideally situated within three minutes walk of main shops and beach. Staying on level three there is really no ocean view and although I was told that the higher levels did have ocean views I was a little enious of the beach front properties and the views they would have. That said the Pandanus Mooloolaba is fantastic value for money and the size of the apartments is their greatest asset especially after the rain we had during our stay and spent sometime indoors.

“Great choice in Mooloolaba”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 January 2011

We researched a number of options on Trip Advisor before deciding on the Pandanus and were extremely happy with our decision. The apartments were spacious, very well furnished and modern. We used the kitchen quite often and found that it was well equipped and nicely maintained. The apartment had two large balconies - one at the front of the apartment and one at the rear. We had some ocean 'glimpses' from the rear balcony and the front balcony had a pleasant outlook over the town.

As described on their website, the apartment is in close proximity to the patrolled beach and is an easy flat walk. The apartment complex also has a heated outdoor swimming pool and a well equipped gym. Pandanus is close to the supermarket and Mooloolaba wharf.

We stayed over the Christmas and New Years period and were surprised how quiet the apartment was on New Years Eve - even with the large event by the beach.

The only opportunity for improvement would be the provision of a BBQ on the balcony. Two BBQs are provided for guest use at the swimming pool but having one on our balcony would have been preferable.

Overall, Pandanus is a great option for accommodation in Mooloolaba.

“Big, big, big rooms . . . nice location . . . friendly and helpful managers”

We had an enjoyable stay at Pandanus recently. Group of six (3 adults, 3 young children). The space allowed everyone room to spread out comfortably and the apartments are nicely located just back from the esplanade. The complex is quite new, kept clean and the managers (Terry and Donna) are an absolute please to deal with. If the Poms are playing well in the cricket, Terry might even shout you a beer at the surf club!
