“Highly recommend - not your usual cheap n cheerful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 March 2011

I am not meaning to sound pompous but Golden Riviera is not the type of place I would generally consider staying in.

However, I was so glad to have my 'manners put back in' by this great accommodation.

We booked about a week out from our stay on Wotif.com (the only way GR takes bookings) and got a baaaaaargain for a two bedroom apartment.

Aircon in living room which sort of drifts into the bedrooms but I'd be a bit concerned a super hot weekend (it was 30 during our stay). Cieling fans in bedrooms. Main room is queen bed and ensuite. Second room is twins and own bathroom. Full living facilities such as laundry, kitchen, secure parking etc.

The pool is great and not too over run with kids.

Security of the entire compound is also very good.

10 minute cab / drive from OOL and it is right on the patrolled beach (albeit not beach views) it is a great location. You get use to the planes which can sometimes feel like they are landing on you but they do not disturb sleep.

Tugun surfclub is a three minute stroll and good for lunch / dinner. Viking (Currumbin) surfclub is awesome and a lovely 20 minute stroll along the beach from GR. Plenty of other dining options around.

Generally you get what you pay for however this cheap n cheerful offers amazing value for money and really delivers in comfort and locale.

“Good value resort in a quiet town.”

Great place to stay in early July although the weather was unseasonably cold. Still able to use the pool. Rooms are clean and tidy and there's plenty of restaurants in the area. It's just a short busride to the bustle of Broadbeach or Surfers. If you're looikng for a quiet holiday with a beach in front this is definitely the place!

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 May 2010

We have stayed at this apartment complex 4 times. It is in a excellent location adjacent to the beach and close to shops. The apartments are well equipped and clean. The only small problem is that it looked like the balconies don't get swept very often. The apartments are only serviced once a week but for the price this is quite ok by us. There is plenty of space for a family, much better than a hotel. The pool is clean and big and the BBQ area is great. It is close to the motorway to drive to the theme parks and maybe 30-40 minute drive to Surfers Paradise (depending on traffic). I would definitely recommend this apartment complex.

“Good quality, clean, secure resort”

Very clean and tidy resort, well equipped kitchen and facilities in your room.. Very secure resort. Local shops, Subway, HJ's and internet cafe across the road, with bus also nearby. Pool I saw maintained every day and we used every day as well as the beach. If you come in the weekend reception only open some hours. Tugan close proximity to airport, but did not bother us. Enjoyed our stay very much and well priced.
