The Breakers

Centrally located with easy access to beach, transport, and dining. Spacious, clean rooms with friendly staff. Offers good value for money and excellent facilities, ideal for families and solo travelers.

When we cooked our breakfast on the first day but we can not find any pan in kitchen and all cooking utensils & containers are too oily seems not to be ready for the new guests living. The washroom has some hair on the floor. Our bed sheets were not so clean either. Overall the cleanliness of the room is unacceptable. I think the BnB needs to provide more training for their cleaners. The hot water supply was not stable and used up quickly, so we had to spend a lot of time reheating the water. My body was almost frozen. Only the location is quite good but will not make me stay in next visit to Gold Coast.

The Breakers is an older building with individually owned, self-contained apartments. This means that each unit is different and there is no room service etc. It was perfect for our family and the type of holiday we were looking for. 1) Location: it is in the middle of two of the most popular districts on the Gold Coast. Only a 15 minute walk to Cavill Avenue at Surfers Paradise and 15 minutes to The Oasis at Broadbeach. In 5 minutes walk, you get to the tram station that can take you to the ****** and the other major shopping districts. The apartments are right in the beach! You don’t have to cross a busy road. This is such a wonderful safety consideration when you have small children. 2) Views: I recommend that you request and pay a little extra to have a room with the ocean view. It is so beautiful and part of the feeling of being on a relaxing holidays. 3) Friendly and helpful staff: Although it is self-contained, there is still a reception and they always greet us when we are entering and leaving the building. They also gave us good ideas on activities to do with the children. 4) Cleanliness: The cleaners of these apartments have excellent attention to detail. These apartments were the cleanest I have stayed in within the self-contained range. 5) Self-contained: The fact that these are self-contained is an ultra bonus when travelling with a family. We were able to shop and have a fridge full of food and snacks for the kids and us. When we didn’t want to go out for dinner, we were also able to cook. There is also a BBQ area and it was a lovely night being able to have a BBQ in the beach. It is the only accommodation option on the whole area that has this option! Perfect for families and those who love to be so close to the beach. Suggestion: If the building has space, I would recommend adding a games room for the rainy days. The apartments are large but would be great to have some table tennis, pool and good old fashioned pinball. It would suit the era of the building and create a wonderful sense of nostalgia for the guests. I would advertise it like “old-school games room” I’d give each room their own balls for the table tennis. That way people don’t keep destroying them or having people looking for them.
