Still has magic

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 31 Oct 2024via mobile
We have stayed at the point at least four times in the last 20 or so years with a long gap between the last visit and our most recent in October 2024. We always stayed in one of the bay terrace villas and the same again this time. Our unit was showing obvious signs of wear and tear, the timber floor, the skirting boards, the curtains/ blinds etc all need attention and maintenance , some of the kitchen appliances are way too old and some of the furniture was very much on the cheap. We also had the bad luck to be given one of the smaller units with the single car garage, which could barely fit a ford ranger, with literally only an inch to spare - not for the faint- hearted driver to park there! This also meant that our balcony was tiny!
HOWEVER… the view was still as fabulous as ever and we consider that the main attraction for choosing to stay at the bay terrace villas of The Point. From out balcony whales were observed daily as were white bellied sea eagles and the state of the surf was easy to judge. Drive down to main beach and parking was easy on weekdays. Communication with office staff before during and after our visit was efficient and easy. We are very likely to return for the sixth visit in future!

I had a wonderful stay. Reception sent me updates on checking in and informed about the place. I had a one bedroom apartment that was on two levels and most spacious. The bathroom was large, it has a washing machine. Upstairs was the spotless and well serviced kitchen. The lounge room was open with a comfortable large lounge that led out to a balcony with a million dollar view. Ideal for breakfast and catching the early morning winter sun.

It was the perfect place to stay.

Room tip: The car garage is narrow so if you have a large vehicle be prepared to park it outside.

We walked into our apartment and all we could see was SEA!
Everything about our stay was just lovely .
We didn't have any problems but I felt confident that Mary on reception would have sorted any issues. Communication , right from the time of booking through to our departure was excellent. Would definitely stay again.

I have never written a review but felt I needed to share so others aren't caught unawares. When we arrived we were told that there had been water damage but this had been fixed on the inside of the appartment. However our villa - villa 8 - had black mould on the ceiling in my son's bedroom and a bucket I'm assuming to collect more water if it dripped from the ceiling. The appartment was musty smelling and tired looking. We booked 3 bedrooms for 6 people but the lounge suite was unsuitable (small) and uncomfortable - more suitable for the outside. Old carpets throughout caused a flare up in my daughter's dust mite allergies. Tiny black ants crowded the food we had placed in the pantry. On our last night the electric element died and we had to go to another appartment to shower. Not a four star experience and definately not worth $550 a night. We felt ripped off on our only family holiday of the year. The appartment are also a good distance from the centre and patrolled beach. The only positive was that staff responded to the hot water issue straight away and the view of the ocean from our Villa was lovely.

Room tip: Other Villas may be better maintained than ours was (Villa 8). The property is not close to a patrolled beach.

Thank you for taking time to review your stay and to give us your feedback. We value all feedback - positive and negative, as it all helps us to improve. I am sorry that you were disappointed with your stay. The recent ongoing rain has really put its strain on some of our villas and unfortunately the villa you stayed in had some water ingress, which we needed a roofing plumber to attend to get it fixed. It was attended to quickly but as the rain was constant there was only so much the plumber could do and he was only able to be complete the job once the rain stopped for a little while. We did try to do our best to get the internal part of the unit tidied up as much as possible, but I can believe that the humidity would have made the place smell damp. It was very unfortunate that in addition to this you did not have any hot water on your last day. It was lucky that we had one spare villa just opposite from yours that we could offer for you to use for showers. As you say, we initially thought it was the electrical element of the hot water system that was faulty, but upon checking the villa after your departure everything was and back to normal and there was hot water? I am sorry if you were not informed/aware of our location prior to your stay. We are located right opposite 3rd Bay in Coolum and we are a 10-15 minute walk from the main patrolled beach and the main Esplanade in town like you say. As we are located on the hillside we do have wonderful ocean views. I am glad you enjoyed the views of the ocean as they are beautiful from that villa.

We stayed at The Point for 4 nights in a 2 bedroom apartment. This was promoted on Trip a Deal and the price of $900 we thought quite reasonable. For personal reasons we visit Noosa every November.
The Point is actually at Point Arkwright about a 10 minute drive south on Coolum.
The apartment( townhouse was up the hill towards the back of the resort and it is high enough to get some sea views.
When we arrived we could not get the TV to work and after a day of trying to fix it we asked the office for help. We did this by email but they say they never received our msg.It turned out the Kogan TV was a dud and was replaced the next day . The replacement works fine but why this was not checked before is not good. Apparently other guest prior to us had had similar problems..
The lady at reception was so,helpful and did her best to sort it out. As always the problem is not the issue, it’s how it’s resolved that matters.
Other than that the accommodation is OK , nothing special . The units are privately owned so have different standards so you have to take what is provided.
So in summary unit just average but office support excellent.
I doubt we will,stay here again.

My husband and daughters stayed in unit 8 in the Hilltop Villas – the view was absolutely sensational! The resort had a Santorini vibe, and we loved hearing the constant gentle roar of the sea.

Just about everything we needed was provided in the unit, including sturdy crockery and glassware. I would love for the carpet in the main living area to be updated/replaced due to the marks on it, but otherwise everything was clean and tidy. There was loads of space in the living and dining area and main bedroom.

PS Also check the outdoor chairs for wobbles – we needed to weigh down three of them on windy nights in order to stop them rocking and making noise when we were trying to get to sleep.
