2/10 Poor

After driving 8 hours from Rockhampton and booking a room over a month before, I arrive to a front desk that’s closed with the shutters down that says reception hours Mon-Fri 9:30-5pm. I show up at 4:15pm. I then ring a number and speak to a woman who tells me there is no booking under my name. The best bit was they charged me the full rate a day later even though I didn’t stay there and had to find other accomodation at the last minute. Never again, hopeless.

Although we were put into an unrenovated room, the manager offered to move us which we found really helpful.

Fire alarm went off around 9:30 for no apparent reason and for nearly maximum disruption to us and all the other guests who found themselves in their payjamas in the strand waiting for the fieries to arrive and disable the alarm...not good enough!

It was an average place, staff were okay, location is excellent right on the strand but can’t see the water from every room.

Good Location but old and Tired
Staff and Foyer and Welcome was great however I was placed in a room that was under renovation and the bathroom was disgraceful. The bath was marked, tiles broken, mould growing, thick tape still left on the tiles where the soap dispensers were originally placed. A hand cream dispenser which was marked “out of order”. Air conditioner had to be “left on” 24/7 for some reason. Wasn’t really worth $180 a night. Apparently rooms are in the process of being renovated?!? Not sure it’s true or I was unlucky to get a non renovated room.

I’ve stayed here before and have been happy with it. I’m still happy with it but found the room had a few repairs that needed doing. It’s looks like it’s starting to get a bit tired. Bed was comfy and a great place to stay if you want to be down by the Strand.

Perfect location
A perfect location for all the strand has to offer. Leonie was very helpful with my needs regarding my disability. A very good pleasant place... Rooms were sound proofed... Lovely pool and gardens and a stones throw from the beach. Gated car parking, undercover.

Great stay for a few days
This was our first time staying at the Waters Edge and it was great. We chose it because of the close proximity to the Strand , restaurants and shops. The staff were extremely friendly. We got to check in early as our room was ready. The room was lovely and clean. It looked like the bathroom had just been renovated so that was nice. Plenty of space to spread out with suitcases. A kitchenette was also handy as we were staying for a few nights. Overall it was great. And we will definitely be back. Highly recommend.
