We stayed here as part of family wedding package in September 2009. The groom had organised rooms for the wedding party and family given that the reception was in the resort. The wedding party were allocated i think the absolute worst rooms!! The furniture was over 20 years old, didnt match, the carpet was filthy, the appliances were crap and... more

Five of us stayed at Shearwater for three nights in a two bedroom unit with a connecting Queen room. The rooms were clean and comfortable and it was great to have such a good view of the ocean. The kitchen was a bit small, but it was well-equipped (diswasher, microwave and enough plates/cups/utensils, etc.) There was also a washing machine... more

We received a very warm welcome on arrival with a complimentary small bottle of wine, and that was about the best bit of our stay here. The two bed apartment had not been cleaned properly. There was dirty cutlery, plates, and food debris on the floor. The food debris obviously attracted the Cockroaches, so we had an evening battle with... more

We were looking forward to staying at this supposed 4/4.5 star(depending on which website you look at) "resort" which looked so lovely on the website - fresh and modern and almost new. Shearwater Resort is anything but. Our rooms were ugly, smelly, small and dirty. Upon complaining we were told that our room was one of the "unrefurbished" ones and... more

My partner and I left it until pretty late to book our 3 night holiday and when I was searching online I came across Shearwater Resort. We could'nt believe the price and the location! We arrived late on a Thursday night, and although after hours (as we had notified the resort when booking) the service was great. The room was... more

we stayed at the shearwater resort caloundra for 2 nights with our 2 children and another family. We and the other family stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. We booked this resort after looking at the luxurious photos over the internet, which boasted luxurious bedrooms, beautiful bathrooms and a lovely lounge room. However, on arrival, we were faced with cramped,... more

Stayed for 4 nights here a few weeks ago and was impressed with the facilities and location of the resort (just next to kings beach) so was great for the kids and has two good restaurants in the reort itself. On the whole I would recommend if you have a young family simply for the location. There were a few... more

We stayed three nights at the Shearwater Resort, a staymint.com property located at Kings Beach. We loved, loved, loved the apartment! It was very, very clean and fully-equipped with everything you would need for a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is *my* dream kitchen and I would love to spend all my time cooking if not for the fact we... more

Position Plus! We really enjoyed our 3 night stay and will definatly stay again. We were so sad to leave and if the hotel wasnt booked out we would have booked another 2 nights!! This resort has one of the best locations in caloundra especially if staying with children. Our 2 year old daughter loved the water play area and... more

We booked the Shearwater after reading TripAdvis reviews and seeing a fantastic deal on the web (3 night min for $80 per night). As we arrived at the end of August there was still some rainy weather. I understand in a couple of weeks, the price for Shearwater doubles. The location was a little loud, even on the off season,... more
