Title: Complete health hazard and severe security risk – DO NOT STAY HERE. Rating: 1/5 Stars (Zero stars if it were an option) I don’t normally leave reviews like this, but our stay at this Pialba property was not just appalling—it was genuinely unsafe. Between the biohazard hygiene conditions and terrifying security issues, this place is completely unfit to operate. Major Security & Safety Concerns: • Unauthorised Entry: Someone entered the property during our stay without our consent or prior notice, which was alarming given we were supposed to have the only set of keys. • Compromised Locks: It was obvious the property had been broken into in the past; the door locks showed clear evidence of being pried open prior to our arrival and had never been properly repaired, leaving us feeling completely vulnerable. • Non-Existent Communication: Reaching the host/management was impossible. Communication was entirely non-existent when trying to address these serious issues. Filth, Mould, and Biohazards: • Kitchen & Cookware: Inside the cupboards where the cookware is stored, there was severe water damage and mould growing freely around the pots and pans. Preparing food in those conditions would be an extreme health risk. • Pervasive Mould Throughout: Beyond the kitchen, toxic mould was spreading heavily through the laundry and bathroom, making the air musty and difficult to breathe. • Disgusting Bedding: The pillows were sickening—severely yellowed from years of overuse and visi

The unit has a great outlook over the thin natural treed buffer between the Esplanade and beach. There are great restaurants around. The caretaker and cleaners were super friendly. The negatives are that the unit has terrible noise isolation. Any doors opening and closing of doors in the neighbouring unit at the rear echoes into the bedroom. This isn't great when your neighbour is a family of gronks who talk loudly, swearing when they come and go 12midnight to 2am. The pool regularly had screaming kids up to 9pm which also echoes into the apartment. Lots of smoker around too who ignore the no smoking signs. I'm not sure if we were unlucky or these were the permanent unit owners.

Beautiful garden, amazing breakfast spread. Nice size room with spectate toilet and shower. The amenities are better than a 5 star hotel (lotions, creams, gels, coffee syrups etc). Hopefully the shower curtains can be replaced soon, but…. The gorgeous outdoor shower can always be used!

Great accommodation! We were a family of 6 adults and there was plenty of space for everyone. Super clean and great location. Close to the esplanade, Woolworths and whale watching departure. I highly recommend this accommodation.
