CocoBrew Boutique Apartments

We stayed here purely to break up the journey from Noosa to Airlie. Being honest we were a bit nervous following being in areas that were very populated and modern, however we really didn’t need to be. The location seemed fine although we didn’t really explore other than going for dinner which we did drive 5 minutes to. You can park in the car park behind the main entrance. Area felt safe. The room itself was very clean and comfortable. However the only issue we did find was the noise from other guests. The walls felt very thin and we heard every word from the guest next door. The water pipes also seemed to be in the wall behind the bed so were very loud when showers were on / toilet was flushed. We had breakfast in the restaurant the following morning and the staff were very attentive, but the food felt really fatty. Fully appreciate this is just personal preference! Staff were friendly, and check in instructions were very clear. Overall, would stay again if we needed to pass through!

Comfortable, great location, clean and stylish. We booked 2 x 2 bedroom apartments for 2 families (8 people). Apartments (Fitzroy and Capricorn) were roomy with kitchen and laundry. Beds were comfortable and all had ensuites. Large rain shower heads and stalls. Looked fresh and tastefully decorated. No elevator but that didn't bother us.

So we arrived on a 38c day only to find that the air conditioning had NOT been put on at all, and so the inside of the well appointed apartment read 33c which after a 8 hour drive was the last thing we wanted. The rest of the afternoon and well into the night was spent cooling the apartment, which I would say wasn’t effective. The water in the shower didn’t even run cold, so the waterlines must run through the ceiling…even a cold shower was off the menu. We had our toddler in their cot in the room with us, however couldn’t keep a lamp on to see her, as the lamp wasn’t even wired up - the batten fixture and lamp shade were left on the bedside table and the actual lamp fitting has exposed wires hanging. They are fantastically appointed apartments, and are well presented, within walking distance, but unfortunately the damning features of our stay were such as to ruin the stay for us.

Highly recommend Cocobrew as a stopover in Rockhampton after a full day of travel. Family rooms upstairs are very accommodating, spacious & beautifully furnished. It is also an added benefit having a great bar & restaurant downstairs as you do not have to leave the premises. We will be back!
