We loved everything about this place. We had a safari tent with a family of 2 kids and it was perfect. They back on to the river so it was beautiful and felt like you were in nature. We brought a paddle board and enjoyed early morning or evening paddles. My kids almost lived in the pools. There are 4 different pools. We spent 2 nights there while visiting the them parks, we would have loved to stay longer.

    Apartment was very close to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary which was perfect for us as we were attending a wedding there. We had a number of different guests staying at Sanctuary Beach Resort and the standard of the apartments did vary with some really nice and updated and others needing updating.(No difference in price). Staff were excellent and went the extra mile for us with room allocations.

    It is not far from the main action of Cavill mall, but far enough away that it's quieter. However our apartment faced the waterpark of the family resort next door. At least it was quiet by 8:30pm.

    This is the perfect family resort. With the pools, water slides, mini golf and cinema on-site and very short walk to the beach, supermarket and chemist, once you arrive, you don't need to leave. Perfect if you have younger kids and really don't want to deal with the crowds at the themeparks!
