Detailed Reviews
The view from our Apartment was stunning, not only from the balcony but also from the lounge, dining and master bedroom. Northcliffe is right on the mouth of the Maroochy River so the views of the river and ocean are glorious.
The Apartment was bright, clean, large and modern. Bed was very comfortable.
The Apartment was lovely but not soundproofed. Voices and Noise can be heard especially TV from next apartment. But we did not hear any road noise.
The location is excellent. Big Top Shopping Centre right at the back of the Apartments and the busy Sunshine Plaza very close on main road. Walk out the door and Restaurants and shops are all around. Northcliffe has its own jetty and swimming pool and spa. There is no beach for swimming. Car parking is tight for some Apartments. Reception staff are friendly and helpful. A lovely short stay.

I stayed at Northcliffe Apartments on a special holiday from the UK with my sister and brother in law.I haven't seen them for over 40 years. To be able to relax and catch up in such a wonderful setting was perfect. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. I especially enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the activity on the water, the amazing birdlife and the view. The pool and jacuzzi were a very welcome facility. If you want to eat in, dine out, swim, walk, shop or just chill, then this is the perfect location, nothing is more than a few minutes walk from the apartments. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend Northcliffe Apartments.

We have just checked out of our unit on the 8th floor overlooking the Maroochy river with sad hearts.
The units are extremely spacious with all the necessary appliances and all the features you would expect form a first rate unit.
We chose our time to coincide with moving into our own unit across town so the weather was against us in December but what a view of the thunder storms across the river and out to sea.
The team that run the show are very accommodating and the pool/Bar-B-Que area are excellent.
I would not hesitate to revisit or buy a river facing unit if the stars were aligned and I had the chance
Thanks Suzanne and team. A great stay.

Absolute dump. Place is filthy, new management are horrendous with absolutely no clue what they are doing, place is falling apart.
Try making a complaint to management to have them give you a lecture about ‘attitude’, they’re honestly pathetic. It’s really not a great when you check in and the door handle falls off, the beds slats are broken and snapped under the bed, the place is FILTHY beyond belief and bugs around the place. We organised a porta cot before our travels to find out whether it was worth bringing one from home or not, when we arrive the new manager has ‘no idea’, tries to charge us more and offers us the most disgustingly filthy bed for our child I’ve ever seen. When we ask her about it she also advises there is a $45 cleaning fee which honestly must be pocketed as this thing hadn’t been cleaned in a long time. When we ask her if she thinks the bed appears clean, she says she doesn’t know as she doesn’t use a porta cot….(any idiot can identify if an item is clean or dirty, she must have struggled mentally)
When we notified management we were unhappy about the cleaning and she commented that the beds and towels were clean but they don’t provide a full detail clean between stays. Why? You run a hotel…that’s disgusting. So they send the cleaners up to fix the room but leave and make us point out what we were unhappy with… great, just what I wanted to do to start my holiday…. No immediate fix would even fix this place, it was beyond filthy.
Honestly, after our short encounter with the stupidest people in hotel management we left and absolutely the best decision we could have made. No one else seems to struggle with cleaning and failure to recognise beds are visibly broken…. I guess people that really run legitimate hotels check their rooms unlike these incompetent people.
Don’t waste your money here, book elsewhere.

Great communication, and 5 stars on everything, except we consider our sleep to be of the utmost importance to us. We'd neglected to see that there was no airconditioning. In fact, I've never seen a multi-storey set of units without aircon, so it didn't even occur to us to "pore" over the details of the inclusions or non inclusions. With no aircon, it was a very uncomfortable sleep, interrupted by noise from late night people as we needed the windows open, through to having to jump up in the middle of the night to have to close windows due to rain. Aircon to me is a basic 101 necessity in a unit at least. Our mistake, but that is the ONLY thing that was not fantastic. Would be nice to see a coffee plunger or Nespresso where you could at least BYO your own coffee pods etc. Older building, but this particular unit is beautifully renovated. Thank you.

Excellent location. Affordable accommodation, great for families. We have been coming to Northcliffe for many years and love our time there. Four generations having been holidaying here and we have made some incredible memories. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is a problem.

The 2-bedroom apartment we had in this high-rise block was excellent. It had all the furnishings that we needed in order to enjoy our accommodation and holiday; it included a fully functional kitchen and its own laundry facilities. The 15th floor apartment was light and airy with plenty of room and a balcony that overlooked the tidal Maroochy River, Goat Island and ocean - what a fantastic view. The apartment was presented to us in a very clean condition and everything was working; absolutely no issues with the accommodation. The complex has its own swimming pool and spa, a private jetty, sauna, pool table and car parking. The memories of eating breakfast on a balcony in the rising sunshine overlooking the river and ocean whilst watching peilcans and peregrine falcons go about their business will stay with us forever.
Brent and Karen are the managers of the apartment complex and they both made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. They dealt with us as friends rather than hotel guests and gave us lots of help and advice; what a great couple.
Should we be fortunate to get to visit the Sunshine Coast again then we would be seeking accommodation in the Northcliffe Apartments as a priority; staying here is very highly recommended.

I booked a two bedroom apartment, and stayed for five days whilst visiting with friends.
The apartment had everything I needed for my stay, and even put on a dinner for 5 one night. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything I needed to make our meal.
My friend's children and I spent some very enjoyable time at the pool and spa, and the views were terrific, and it was just a short walk to the Plaza shopping centre.
I would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation, Brent and Karen, the Managers, were both very friendly and helpful

It was our 2nd 2 week stay and loved it. The views, the relaxation, the closeness to all amenities (meals, shopping, great coffee and walks on that beach). The pool is being renovated so cant wait for our next stay. Our host are just so down to earth and friendly. We love this place..☺
