3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

I have rated this as average only because of the very stained carpet in the room that was long overdue for replacement and the fact that the whole unit needed a good refurbishment. I am very aware that this is the responsibility of the unit owners. Ron and Marilyn were great hosts and the units are well placed for the... More

Stayed in 2br ap in first floor. Modern and nice. Thou bedrooms looked little bit tired. Also 2 singel beds. Nice helpful staff. Sauna is a must while staying there. Shops are close but place too far from Surfers P. But I chose this just to be away from the big crowd. Beach is just 2min walk. Nice secure car... More

We are glad you enjoyed your stay at Rainbow Bay. Rainbow Bay is about 25 - 30 minutes from Surfers, it is a nice alternative to the hustle and bustle of Surfers Paradise.The bedding configuration in all our two bedroom apartments is queen bed in the main bedroom and two singles in the second bedroom. Hope to see you here... More

We are regulars at this resort and just love it. The location is perfect, walking distance to the beach with great surf, restaurants, shops and Twin Towns. Resident managers are friendly and can't do enough for you. The resort is about 20 years old, some renovations are probably due and improvements to bedding and linen. The pool area is great... More

Ron and Marilyn who run the place are the friendliest people you will ever meet. Always helping with suggestions when going out etc. The general area is a beautiful place with secluded beaches and the main surf beach. Plenty of shops about and if you love to gamble , it's 150meter walk to twin towns club. The hotel rooms are... More

The location is wonderful out on the peninsula. No road noise, just the waves and the wind. Walking distance to everything, cafes,restaurants, wonderful beaches that were very toddler friendly. Apartment had an odd layout but was very large and plenty of room for an active toddler to play. No bath though, that was the only disappointment.

We agree Rainbow Bay is a very special place to holiday and hope we see you here again. We do have apartments with a bath perhaps there was not one available during that time. We do endeavour to meet all requests by our guests. More
