“Great location however very dated ...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012

We booked a 2 bedroom apartment at Talisman this time around.

Location of this building is outstanding. Across the road from patrolled beach and very close to restaurants. The undercover parking is fantastic.

The only challenge was that the apartment we stayed at was very dated. Whilst everything was functional it is in need of a good upgrade to carpets, furniture and bathroom.

When I checked with ladies in Reception to see why we were not allocated a renovated apartment as we would ... they both kept avoiding my question. They confirmed that some apartments are renovated and that the rates are actually the same.

I then asked again why we would not allocated a renovated apartment and they told me that there was nothing wrong with the one we had.

They then asked me if I had something in writing to confirm apartment number or the fact that I was going to stay in a renovated apartment.

Anyways ... poor explanation such as this and lack of honesty leaves a bad taste behind and unfortunately means we will give this building a miss next time.

Room Tip: Make sure you ask for a renovated room in writing !

“Views of the surf and all the way to the mountains”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

This was a great place to stay in Broadbeach. Amazing panoramic views, and a minute from the beach. Very helpful staff. Broadbeach is a lot of fun, and the restaurants even stay open past 8pm which is a miracle for Queensland.

“Great place to stay over Xmas and new year”

We have just come back from 10 days at talisman in a 2 bedroom apartment. We had a fantastic time, the location was amazing. You could just walk across a quiet road to the beach, which is better than a lot of apartments in Broadbeach. The apartment was really well equipped, and light and modern. Fantastic views on the 23rd floor! Supermarket and restaurants only 5-10 minute Walk. The grounds were immaculately kept. We will be back.

“Great location for beach, eating, shops ... walk to everything!”

We had a two bedroom apartment overlooking the beach; well furnished, plenty of space, great facilities - excellent pool with depth of 1.2 metres to 1.8 metres, adjoining spa and also a sauna. Plenty of options - use the pool, or cross the road to walk on the beach, or swim. Excellent lock up parking if you have a car. A short walk to all Broadbeach shops, eating places galore and Pacific Fair shopping is only about 15 minutes walk away. Air conditioning and ceiling fans for when it is hot. We didn't want to leave.

Room Tip: All rooms look to have balconies. The two bedroom option also had two bathrooms - great for extende...

“Everything and more”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

Thanks to all who have given positive reviews. I looked carefully at a number of apartments before selecting this one. My criteria: full sea views; within 800m of the Gold Coast Conference centre, clean apartment; fairly quiet (not on the Gold Coast highway); right on the beachfront so I could walk along the beach every morning).

Talisman ticked the boxes on every single one. Everything is in walking distance, shops, conference centre, beach. No car needed.

If you had to look for something to comment on, it would be that there is a slight step (5cm) into the bathroom on which I stubbed my toe; and the shower pressure seems to fluctuate rapidly.
Small price to pay for a magnificent view!
Also a nice bonus having the spa next to the pool.

Room Tip: 7th floor gave great views - I guess higher would mean it was quieter from road noise? Room 21 had...
