We recently stayed in a 3bd ground floor apartment with our 4 young children. The resort and facilities that we used were very nice, and everything was clean and in good order.
The pool area was quite nice, and the enclosed patio area from our apartment was a great size for kids.
Close to the beach, local surf club and shops. We would definitely stay here again.
Really liked the spacious shared apartment to sleep many people - very generous with provision of kitchen appliances and utensils. Anything and everything you needed was there fully self-contained. Lovely greeting and easy check-in and check-out. Highly recommend staying at Beachside Resort Buddina.

What we really liked about this unit was just how handy it was to the beach, even though the water was a wee bit cold. Coles and Big W are just around the corner with lots of other specialty shores as well. It was not that far to USQ Stadium where we went to watch the Lightning Netball Game. Will definitely be staying there again.
Well done Beachside Resort.

Great view from the balcony if you have a D or E apartment and apartment is nice and clean but overall may need a refurb as the pool liner is coming apart and there is no ventilation in the bathroom and some paint/tidy up bits to be done but a lovely stay close to the surf club and beach across the road! :-)

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our penthouse apartment, photos look amazing but in reality not so much
Bathroom door would not even close,no fly screens on windows at all,very dated hardware throughout, main ensuite fan would not turn off, main bathroom did not even have an exhaust fan,gym was tiny and outdated and not even set out correctly for use at all.
For the amount of money we paid we were very disappointed to say the least.
The building is close to the Beach and Kawana Surf Club that’s it. You have to drive everywhere. The building is very run down our apartment wasn’t very clean neither. There were screws sticking out of the dining room chairs which ruined my slacks which were new. My 5 year old granddaughter got a big scratch down her leg as well. Sorry but won’t be staying there again. I booked it for a wedding which was cancelled because of Covid and the money was no refundable. Disappointing
