Located about 1 km to the south of Cavill Avenue this high rise has absolute frontage to the beach. We stayed on the 5th Floor in a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom apartment. We enjoyed the stay It's not the Marriott but it is about 10 times the size of a Marriott hotel room ( which we have stayed at and also enjoyed) and we had a front balcony overlooking the beach and down to Coolangatta plus a rear balcony looking to the west. The apartment was huge and all the living areas are tiled. We stayed with our married daughter and their daughter and it was ideal. About 3.5 star quality but for what you pay the value is great and the standard was fine for us. The building is a little tired in places but you only get what you pay for and we were more than satisfied with what we got. It suited

Arrived at our accomodation, expecting only the basics for the low price we had paid, however from the start we were blown away! Huge thanks to all staff who were friendly as well as effcient. The apartment was extremely spacious and well laid out, comfortable beds, 3 balconys, all with excellent views, as well as austar which we didnt even have time to turn on the whole week because of all there was too do! The pool, table tennis table and the beach just right at your doorstep was incredible. Would definately reccommend The Penthouses to groups of friends travelling up to surfers, (only a short way from shopping and nightclubs!) we had a week we will never forget! Thanks again guys, will definately stay again!!

What a location!!!!! So cheap too! 3 bedroom apartment was huge - right on the beach - comfy beds! Great pool and amenities! The staff couldn't be more helpful! Travelling with 3 kids couldn't have been made more fun! Buses take you from right out the front to wherever you want to go! We are so going back! Loved it!!!!!!!!!!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment with a beach view - Wow, what a wonderful room, spectacular views all round and a good size balcony. My husband and I and our 15 month old baby were on holiday with two friends so suitable accommodation for two different agendas was high on the priority list - the penthouses were ideal! The large kitchen/living/dining area meant we were not under each others feet and plenty of room for our daughter to play without getting in the way. The apartments themselves are perfectly situated in between Surfers Paradise (central) and Broadbeach with the bus stop to both centres immediately out the front of the hotel - although on most occassions we chose to walk, which took us approx. 15-20mins. The managment were very friendly and helpful - giving us

We stayed in the 3 bedrooms apartment with beach view and were truly amazed when in two occasions we spotted whales from our balcony. The first experienced we spotted over half a dozen or more whales heading up north. We were ecstatic and my niece & nephew have bragging rights that they have seen whales for the first time from the hotel room...how cool is that? Marissa & Mike (management) were most hospitable and helpful. All our tickets for the theme parks were organised thru her and she even recommended and pointed us the way to Harbour Town for our shopping needs. We can't thank you enough. The location is very handy as per reviewed by many other but no mentioned of whales spotting. If you are looking at booking this serviced apartment during the whales migration

Stayed recently at The Penthouses in a 3 bedroom apartment - was awesome! Stayed with 2 children / 4 adults and it was plenty big enough. Nice and spacious and we were lucky to have a recently renovated apartment which had amazing beach front views and access. Lovely big bedrooms and clean, modern feel. Great friendly staff and nice and close to Broadbeach and Surfers - only a short walk away from various restaurants / surf clubs etc. Would definitely stay there again!

Stayed for a long weekend at The Penthouses recently and was very pleased with the accommodation. We had two 3 bedroom units booked for a very reasonable rate. I can see that there can most certainly be a difference between the furnishings and inclusions for each room but the 2 we had were great. Very large 3 bedders with plenty of room for groups and families. Back gate opens onto the beach with flags and patrols almost out the front. If you are looking for somewhere central between Surfers and Broadbeach at a reasonable price I cannot recommend this place more.

I recently stayed at The Penthouses, Surfers Paradise. 11 of us travelled from NSW to celebrate a Girlfriends 40th birthday. We had two rooms, both rooms were very spacious, with good quality furniture. We had more than enough room for everyone. I enjoyed the location, right on the beach and the local shops/amenities were in walking distance. The Managers appeared to be extremely friendly, helpful and willing to go out of their way to make our stay more pleasurable. The check-in and out process was so easy and because we had late flights, we were able to check out of our room and leave our bags onsite until we were ready to travel to the airport. The pool and spa were clean and it was nice to sit and relax while feeling the cool sea breeze. Both of our apartments had a

I stayed at The Penthouses with my two teenage children, husband and my mother and we were really happy with the experience. It was located where I wanted to be, between Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise and an easy walk to both. Slightly closer to Surfers Paradise. I also wanted absolute beachfront, which this provided, so we could walk out of the back gate directly onto the beach, 100m from the patrolled beach. So overall, really pleased with the location. We had a three bedroom apartment, which seems to follow the same floor plan as others. It runs along the side of the block, so that the lounge room has a large balcony overlooking the beach. The back two bedrooms also had balconies overlooking the pool. The apartment was spacious, as were the bedrooms and it was nicely
