Location Location Location, Rainbow Bay is Perfect
A well appointed 2 bed apartment right opposite the beach. Huge King size bed and a twin room, separate laundry room and two bathrooms- so comfy. The massive beach is brilliant for surfing and mooching through rock pools or just soaking up the sun. It is In a nice quiet location (in comparison to Surfers and Gold Coast) just moments away from cafes, shops etc. Go for location and a good nights sleep every time. You can walk away from all the glitz and noise I am personally glad I did not have it underneath our hotel/ apartment block like many others. We were there for the Commonwealth Games- again great location, we had zero complaints. All staff were very helpful and friendly I even gave them spare tickets to the games. Great secure parking. Book it Danno. I would go back, pool parking all with beach views metres away what's not to love about that.

Thank you very much for the lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed this hidden gem that Rainbow Bay/Coolangatta is. And just to let you know, we did find a worthy recipient for the Rugby 7's and they absolutely loved it. We look forward to seeing you soon. Regards, Stacey Family

Great spot being right across the road from patrolled surf beach. Easy walk into either the shops in coolangatta or Tweed shopping centre. Plenty of coffee and eating places nearby. Apartment itself had everything needed for a self catering holiday. Staff friendly and helpful. Look forward to returning.

Thank you so much for posting a review. Good tip about the binoculars! The whales are still out and about and around about this time, they love to just jump as they are very relaxed from their migration duties :-) Hope to see you again soon!

Perfect location
Perfect location to relax....... Many beautiful spots within 10 minute walk to sit outside, enjoy a picnic, swim, watch the whales playing offshore and generally refresh your soul! We ate most nights at the surf club across the road......$ 10 meal specials every day, and a free drink with meal by showing our Colombia apartment key!

hopeless
ended up in level 5 asked for as high as possible when booking,ended up at 5. Apartments no where near full cannot understand why we could not have been given higher. Over all the room (17) does no appear to have had any maintenance for years. Curtains hanging off, all doors corroded,wardrobe door roller fell off, cannot open kitchen window from corrosion, opener broken off, vanity door hinge broken off guest shower door un openable, floor filthy, behind curtains filthy. Would not consider this place or recommend it to any one after having great experiences with Bay View which was great.

Rainbow Bay a few steps away!
Glorious morning views overlooking the bay. Equally beautiful sunsets. Flat, fair, clean & unique family friendly beach. Intriguing walks to Snapper Rocks. Easy walk around Greenmount. Swimming pool if needed. It won't be. Great views from any room. Columbia is colossal.

Thank you anonymous. Íts a shame you didnt come forward and ask us about, or mention the things you write about. We cant help you if you dont mention these things in person. Its a shame you could not give us the opportunity. Yes there are rules, however nothing that would inhibit or not allow you to enjoy your stay. We wish you well on your next holiday adventure.

Amazing views and a relaxing experiance
My parents from overseas visited me and we booked these apartments. We got accomodation on a higher floor. The ocean views were amazing. There were two balconies and I could get a view from three sides of the building. Every evening me and my dad enjoyed the balcony view with a few drinks and discussed old memories ;). This was an unforgettable experiance. Please note that there was no aircon, but it didn't matter as there were sea winds to keep us relaxed.

Thanks for your review, some great info! I would love to pass on your views about the linen to the owner so perhaps you can email us a further description and the apartment number? These apartments are individually owned so they are all very different.
