The Waterford location is amazing, there are not too many apartments where you can see whales from your balcony! There are plenty of great dining options nearby on Tedder Avenue, plus the tram is also very close, so we didn't need to hire a car. The room was spacious, and pool was amazing.

We had such a wonderful stay at Waterfront on Main Beach! The view was absolutely stunning—waking up to the ocean and listening to the waves, especially at night, was so peaceful and calming. It truly felt like a little slice of paradise. The location was perfect—close to everything, yet still quiet enough to feel like a true getaway. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We left feeling refreshed and already can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beachside escape!

The views are spectacular. The facilities are very good (just a few minor ageing/wear issues). Beds comfortable and helpful friendly staff. Location is excellent as it’s right across from the beach, 2 blocks to the Sea Urchin Cafe (excellent brekky) and a beautiful beach walk to Surfers. The paths are great for going on my scooter too. The pool was moderate in size but very pleasant.
