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

Our family (two adults; two children aged 5 and 7) stayed at Shearwater over a recent long weekend. The other reviews are accurate and a good reflection of our experience. The real positive with Shearwater is that you have Kings Beach (calm, clean, patrolled beach) on your doorstep as well as numerous playgrounds including a fun water playground for kids.... more

We have totally enjoyed 5 days with our two daughters and 5 grandchildren ranging from a 2 year old to a thirteen year old (with skateboard!). We loved the location with the beautiful pool across the quiet street, clean beach and the boardwalk along the ocean front to the nearby playgrounds, restaurants and shops. Our daughters proclaimed it to be... more
