Find the Cheap Hope Island Hotels

A great hotel within easy drive to all the shopping and the fun parks we were visiting , cafe and bar on the ground floor was super convenient and the rooms were more spacious than I was expecting . I can highly recommend the Hope Harbour Hotel to anyone looking for a central point to explore the Gold Coast from .

The hotel room is good, but the outdoor environment is generally maintained. I called the service center to ask for a fruit knife, but it was delivered after two reminders. The hotel does not provide bottled drinking water for free, so I called to ask for drinking water, but it was packed in a stainless steel pot (without a cover), and I was charged when I left the store. This is unsatisfactory.

Needed to book a place fairly quickly in the area, so checking accommodation online and found a place but seen another at a cheaper price. Called the property and the lady said she would match the price if I sent her the advertisement. Did this, she called back and kindly matched the price. There are obviously different managers of these various apartments. Directions to reception were a little sketchy but found the place only to be told the apartment was in another location a short drive away. Was given a map and managed to find the place with not too much trouble, only went astray once. The two-bedroom apartment was located in a gated community in a quite location. From my experience, I think the cleaners don’t do a good enough job in any rental accommodation as there is not much attention to detail, and this place was no exception. The lounge cushions were in serious need of a wash (they actually smelt) and there was a previous guests octopus strap under the tv unit (couldn’t miss it really). Rubbish under the bed as well. But in the main it was reasonably neat, clean and tidy. However, like a lot of these places there were a few maintenance issues. The furniture was a bit dated. The tv unit had a missing drawer. The bed squeaked and the joints moved a bit if you turned over (not because of any ‘over enthusiastic activity’ I might add). The joints seriously needed tightening up. Shower had no caddy to put soap/shampoo on etc. There was some sort of bracket there but obviously the assembly had broken some time ago and not replaced. The TV didn’t work so I called reception and luckily, I caught the lady before she finished for the day. She sent around the maintenance man who quickly sorted the problem, the TV remote had been stolen by some previous guest. Not surprisingly either, the cleaners had not reported it. Anyway, he went away and later came back with a suitable remote and it was after hours as well. This guy was very friendly, professional, and really went out of his way to help us. For this part, he provided exceptional customer service. The outdoor furniture on the balcony had also seen better days. Apartment was on the second floor and looked out over busy Oxenford Southport Road, but noise inside the apartment was very minimal. Was within comfortable walking distance of Hope Island Shopping Centre but be careful of golf carts whizzing around. Wifi was good. Bit of a mixed feeling about this place. Would I stay here again. Maybe, but I would do a bit more research first. If you are thinking of staying here, I strongly advise you do your research as well, because it depends on what apartment you get as to how good and well maintained it is and of course, how good your stay is. My welcome email read ‘At The Peninsula we strive to achieve high standards and always aim to exceed your expectations’. All I can say is more ‘striving’ is needed.

We stayed at the paradise farm for one night. This is our first time to live in a tent. It feels good. We are three of our family this time, a little scared, but overall it is safer and can live in a cabin. It is recommended that several families can live in the tent together and feel good. If you live there, you can feed small animals for free in the evening. This is the real close contact with the animals. The kangaroo touches enough, the koala is too much, and the old is entangled with you, because no one, experience Especially good. My daughter said that the trip to Australia is the favorite farm in paradise. The next morning, you can follow the farmer's milk for free, feed the cows, and lick the eggs. In addition, the bathroom is large and clean, although not independent, it is still very convenient. I don’t need an alarm clock in the morning, all kinds of birds scream, I will wake you up, but the children will not wake up when they sleep well.

There are many activities for children, there are several large and small swimming pools, and children do not want to leave after playing. You can drive RVs for camping, and there are also vacation homes. There are many choices. There are outlets not far away, which are convenient for shopping and eating.

We stayed in 3 bedroom apartment and it was perfect. There was plenty of room for our family and we enjoyed beautiful views from the two balconies. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The pool is a decent size and the spa was hot. Pool hours are are great - 7am to 10pm. The location is ideal - right on the beach but far enough away from busy Surfers. Heaps of food options in walking distance and its just down the road from Harbour Town. Highly recommend.

Room was spacious, clean and seems new. Love the carpark which links straight to lobby. They were very nice and gave us a sweet message and treat as my husband and I were on our honeymoon trip. Downside was on the security deposit. They charge it to my card and refunded only after a few days. If it is a hold amount, there should not be any charges. If they charged the amount, the refund should be immediate on the same day. We booked assessable room which was for the handicap. The doors are automated etc. The reception said they were unable to reach me by phone call and they couldn't email me because I booked via third party vendor. It would have been better if they can contact via email which they chose not to. This is something which they could have improved and definitely will improve our stay experience. Other than this, everything else was great! Note: When we drove to Mantra, right in front of the hotel was a cemetery. Just in case anyone superstitious, this info may be helpful.
