Good location on the Esplanade not too far from the CBD. Great knowledgeable staff and very good value. Plenty of onsite parking. Ground floor rooms available. Well set up kitchen and laundry. Suitable for an extended stay.

The pool was far too warm.

Great location. The pool was really nice. We were in a 2 bed apartment on 3rd floor. Had 2 completely separate bedrooms with sep open plan lounge, dining and kitchen. Good shower. Also had separate laundry with washer, dryer and laundry tub. Large wardrobes in both bedrooms. Was really spacious overall. Had private balcony. Staff very helpful and friendly. Definitely stay again. Bus stop 8 minutes walk, don't need a car if staying here as bus service easy. There is car parking on site, all undercover. I decided that I prefer apartments like this as find daily servicing a bit inconvenient. We stayed for 10 days and just washed our own towels and sheets etc. Vacuum and mop etc provided in apartment and they did offer to do a service part way through our stay but we didn't require this. Apartment even had dishwasher.

Some of the buttons on the TV remote didn't work very well but not sure if they were aware of this so I left them a note.

All appliances were working well.The beds were comfortable. Heather the lady in reception was excellent. Early check in was given to us - we checked in at 9.30 am - with no additional charge. Also, we were able to add in an additional person to our booking after the original booking, with a minimal charge per night! We were able to leave our luggage on the last day at 8.45 until 4.30 with no charge. It’s not right in the centre of town, but a 20 min walk along the esplanade took you into the town and to the lagoon.

There was a lover shutter ‘window’ between the kitchen and the second bedroom- this was not ideal as there was limited privacy, and the noise from the lounge/kitchen area travelled easily between areas.

It was great! It had everything I needed for a good holiday while still feeling independent. I don't like a big hotel because it doesn't feel homely, but waterfront terrace was great for that, I felt like I had my own place that was home. All the machines worked great, the aircon was awesome, the bathroom was great too. The perfect place to stay for a young couple, and for a good price.

The apartment is quite large and spacious. The bathroom is a good size, the bedrooms have closets and the kitchen is decent for a short term stay. The apartment is right across the street from the esplanade walk all the way to the boat piers. The pool is small but cute, not heated so it’s a bit chilly

The beds were a bit uncomfortable and small. There are 2 twin beds and a queen bed. The couches in the living room are small and not suitable for 4 people to sit comfortably. The apartment was VERY hot! The AC goes to 22C for a low and it was way too warm in there. There are ceiling fans but the bedroom next to the front door was too hot to sleep, especially if doing laundry as the dryer vent blows right back into the hallway. It is a 5 minute drive to get to the city center, it is walkable but takes a good 25 minute walk. Also it is next to the hospital so ambulance and helicopter noise is frequent and loud.

Reception very helpful with bookings for day trips. The pool and surroundings very clean and enjoyable for swimming. Nice view of the esplanade walkway from our apartment at the second floor level. Quiet area of the city but easy to walk to Muddies cafe along the waterfront. Excellent Thai restaurant over the road. Peaceful at night. Simple process to bus to main shopping centre, every 15 minutes.

Everything was great.

In need of a safe and comfortable place to stay after the horrible experince at Carins South International, we came across this accommodation and were delighted with the results. The room was clean and spacious enough to accommodate five people comfortably, making it perfect for our short two-day visit. We only booked at 7pm our first night, but Donna was incredibly helpful and quick to address all of our concerns in our phone call. Thank you Waterfront for hositng us.

We loved how incredibly helpful the staff were at the Waterfront Terraces. They went above and beyond our expectations to help us book the best snorkelling tour and offer other suggestions as to where to shop and dine. Genuinely friendly atmosphere that made us feel really welcome!

The suites are getting a bit tired but we noticed that they were doing some renovations while we were there.

The self-catering apartments are clean and comfortable, allowing maximum flexibility for meals, including a shared barbecue. Pool was clean, gardens and general surrounds tidy. Quiet location with the promenade just across the road for a short stroll to bars and restaurants. And of course the staff were welcoming and friendly :-)

Nothing springs to mind.

The location was amazing overlooking the beach from our balcony. Our apartment (number20) was freshly renovated and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay with ducted air conditioning and ceiling fans, dishwasher, washing machine and drier in the dedicated laundry. It has a lovely big pool that we all enjoyed swimming in. The pool area also has barbecue facilities. Shopping and fast food outlets nearby. Anthony and Donna went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Anthony even posted mail to me at my home address when it arrived at Waterfront Terraces a few hours after we had flown out. Thanks we will be back.

No lift.
