Chateau Beachside Resort

“Basic but comfortable”

It's getting incredibly expensive to stay in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Budget options are severely limited, and inevitably you will have to make sacrifices. But if you're looking for decent accomodation that won't break the bank, this property has a lot going for it. It's definitely an older type building, and doesn't attempt to compete with the glittering modern skyscrapers constantly springing up along this coastal strip, but its location is unbeatable. Right across the road from the beach, and barely 5 minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of Cavill Avenue, yet once you're inside the apartment, you never feel like you're in the thick if it, and there's virtually no noise disturbance, so the best of both worlds really. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, staff friendly, and parking is free - another bonus that is rapidly dying out! There is also a nice pool, sauna/steam facilities, games room and small gym. And so to those compromises - There's no in-room laundry facilities, no dishwasher, and I think this is the only hotel room I've ever seen anywhere in Australia without aircon. (ceiling fans only) More of an observation than a criticism, but we only stayed for one night so it didn't really affect us. It could have been potentially problematic for a longer stay, especially in hot weather, so worth thinking about. Overall, I found Chateau Beachside excellent value and a pleasant place to stay for a short-medium visit. If you are realistic about what you can expect at this price point, you will definitely not be disappointed.

“Wow”

For a relaxing holiday with no fuss consider this accommodation. It was perfect from the room, views, facilities and location. Rooms as you expect for the price. Views that you don't get sick of.

For a relaxing holiday with no fuss consider this accommodation. It was perfect from the room, views, facilities and location. Rooms as you expect for the price. Views that you don't get sick of. Facilities of laundry, bbq, spas, pool and games/gym area were great. Location location I didn't have a hire car nor did I need one walked to Capri boat hire and the skypoint observation building and all the shops (bws across road and coles 2 blocks away) Right in the heart of Surfers! As for the bad reviews they want everything for nothing. The $3.00 beach towel hire was for the whole 5 day stay not each day. The staff were helpful and friendly. A/c and fan worked a charm. No room service while here 5 days but that's how they keep the prices down. Couldn't hear noise of road much as the surf is loud. I will definitely be back. Thanks again.

“Budget basic on a good location.”

Location is good, nice view of the beach and just a bit away from the main noise. All very basic and dated and a bit dirty in certain places. Unloved. Pool was good, really nice size and clean. Was the first time in this area for us and it didn’t seemed to be as relaxed as in other parts,of Austr... more

Location is good, nice view of the beach and just a bit away from the main noise. All very basic and dated and a bit dirty in certain places. Unloved. Pool was good, really nice size and clean. Was the first time in this area for us and it didn’t seemed to be as relaxed as in other parts,of Australia. A bit distant but that may be normal in this area.
