Great Accommodation in Caloundra

Returning back to Brisbane, decided to have a 3 night stay in Caloundra, ULTIQA Shearwater Kings Beach. On my arrival I was greeted by a delightful receptionist. She was very helpful with my enquiries, my Studio Room, was adequate for myself. King size bed, balcony with water views, large bathroom, and a Surprise Welcome Pack full of goodies (wine, potato chips, dip, crackers, 2 beers.) Fantastic! Restaurant downstairs. across the road heading towards Bulcock beach on the walk way were other eateries. Great Spot!

First time in a Studio apartment. Didn't like the 2 steps to drag luggage up or the 2 doors to access. Very difficult to hold open and get luggage through by myself. Loved view and position of bed closer to view rather than the apartments I've stayed in before where bedroom is at back.

Shearwater is a lovely complex. Overlooking the ocean from our unit was a beautiful bonus. Staff were very friendly. Love to go back this year and hopefully get another unit with ocean views. Parking was secure.

Splendid Shearwater

Our stay at Shearwater, Caloundra was excellent. We were able to check in online a day before and were allowed into our room at 12:00pm instead of the usual 2:00pm room check in. Our request for a higher room level was also fulfilled. To top it off, a welcome hamper was waiting for us on the table. The view of the boardwalk and the ocean from the balcony was spectacular.
