We had a courtyard room so the extra outdoor space was good for the kids.
The table top and other surfaces were sticky.
The location was very handy.
The carpets were a bit old and ripped near the doorway. It was a bit noisy having the garbage chute in the hallway inside the room because we were on a lower floor we heard lots of other residents rubbish being thrown down the chute.
The staff were friendly and helpful.

Hi Rachael Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re happy you enjoyed our location and agree you can’t beat it, so handy to all the amenities and the beach on our doorstep! Sorry you found sticky surfaces. - some of the furniture in the unit you stayed in is due for replacement as we’ve found that the salt air compromises and degrades it quite quickly and leaves a sticky feeling patina. So pleased you found us all friendly and helpful and look forward to welcoming you back to Malibu next time you’re in Mooloolaba.
Hi Peter, thank you for your rating, happy to hear you enjoyed your stay, apologies for the internet. There is an issue and we have someone here to fix it, unfortunately they couldn't come here earlier, while you were staying, hope to see you again :)

Easy to find your way around the Sunshine Coast from this wonderful property. Many great dining spots within walking distance. Facilities in the units are of excellent standard.

The external apartment was good. Really pleased with this apartment. Although, extra cleaning is needed such as the lounges being vacuumed and steam cleaned as they had a smell and bits of scraps underneath and in between the pillows and extra scrubbing in the showers to remove some of the grime. I do recommend that guests are allowed key to access the pool at the Malibu without having to go to reception to get access and are provided with pool towels in the apartment. Other than that our stay was really good. Thank you.
Susie Kim and Brian This is the best property to stay on the Sunshine Coast because the service and the kindness to make a memorable holiday for my family will always be remembered for many years , Thank-you for the best holiday EVER happy and healthy New Years and great love and joy to all from BRUCE Katy and Anthony 2021

Thank you so much and we would welcome you back any time. Best wishes to you all for 2022.
We stayed on the 8th floor and the view was wonderful. We could open our door and hear the waves rolling in as we were just across the road from the beach. The location of this resort can not be beat. You would just walk down stairs and across the road to be on the beach. The esplanade down stairs had shops and many cafes and restaurants that we could try and we did try different ones every day. There was also heaps of ice-cream shops to try too. The room itself was very clean and tidy and was quite enough room for the two of us. The private parking was tight but glad to have it as we didn't have to search for parking on the street which would have been difficult. There is no air conditioner in the main bedroom but we had cool nights while we were there so it was fine for us with just the fan blowing. We would stay here again if we came to Mooloolaba again as we believe it is the best beach to stay at and the units can't be beat.

Fabulous Location and view !
Loved the location and views from our balcony. Very clean apartment. Beds were comfortable and on site undercover parking was a bonus. Huge thanks to Brian who always had a friendly smile and a boisterous hello, he made our stay great! Excellent Restaurants and the beach right outside the front door - Fantastic !

Disliked: Amenities
Was so excited for our first trip with two young kids. Unfortunately the pool was closed for maintenance our entire visit- which was what the kids were looking forward to the most. We had a lovely view of all the other buildings pools though, which was like salt in the wound. Parking spot was nearly impossible for our TINY car to pull into. 2 bedroom suite was big but felt tiny due to awkward shape with bedrooms/bathrooms at one end and a long corridor to get to the living space. Weird angled walls made it very difficult to fit our portacot in our bedroom for our infant. Lots of noise Friday night from a nearby pub made it hard to sleep and the rubbish chute (in each suite) was very loud and woke up the kids after they had gone to bed in the evening. won’t be staying here again.

Well Anonymous, you can write such a bad review but can't put a name to it. The pool closure was unfortunately out of our control. We have it being sorted out day.
We obviously were not suited to you.

Centre of Mooloolaba
The welcome to Malibu was very good with much friendliness by the staff. Our unit was very clean and had everything that we required. We overlooked the beach and the complex is in the centre and right on the main walkway for the Mooloolaba shopping precinct. The complex is a little old but this in no way affected our stay. We were overjoyed with the stay there.

Great views in Mooloolooba
The views from the room were outstanding. The proximity to everything on the esplanade was also a 10/10.
The building definitely needs some TLC but overall it was clean and pretty comfortable. There is no AC in the bedroom so we found it pretty warm but otherwise it was nice!
The location was amazing. Spacious unit. Wished we stayed longer as we love Mooloolaba.
We had to ask for a hair dryer as there wasn’t one in the unit. The spa was not heated, which was a shame as it was still cool being September. We didn’t stay long in the pool area.

Thank you for staying we are glad you had a great time.
Sorry the hair dryer was missing however we were prompt in supplying you with a Hair Dryer.
The Spa is attached at one end of the large outdoor lap pool. The Spa water which is part of the pool is temperature checked daily around 6.30 am and is consistently set at 26 or 27 C
We look forward to your return visit.

Beautiful ocean view. Cleanliness could have been better, there was dust build up on the ceilings that fell onto the beds. There was also a yucky grey water/sewerage type smell lingering around the whole time we were there. Funny shaped apartments, with bathrooms that aren’t the most practical. The main bathroom would be difficult with small kids.

Lauren,
Thank you for staying 2 nights with us at Malibu Apartments.
You had a lovely 2 Bedroom Apartment on the 9th floor. If there was an issue with particles falling from the ceiling it would have been nice for you to mention it to our Reception staff and it would have been rectified.
No other guests have experienced any odour within the Apartment.
Yes the Apartments are a practical shape with the bedrooms at the rear and away from the living area to maximize the outstanding views.
Hopefully we see you again.

Location Perfect, Views Perfect, Room nicely furnished and clean. What let us down was that property was advertised as air conditioned, however there was no air conditioning in the bedroom, only the living area. Bedrooms only have ceiling fans and are too far away from living area for air conditioning to reach.
