We had 7 magical nights at Rainbow Place for my wife's 50th and she could not have been happier! We stayed in Unit 25; it was perfect for us as the kids and grand kids dropped in and out throughout the week and there was always plenty of room. The 270° view was sensational, but not just from the deck; even while lazing on the oh so comfortable lounge inside, if you tired of the ocean view (as if!) you could simply gaze out the window at the stunning hinterland view. Another bonus for us was the ease of parking and the proximity to great cafes and restaurants. We parked undercover on day 1, then forgot about the car for the rest of the week as we were a casual stroll from everything we needed. While you can reach out and touch the Gold Coast hustle and bustle, Rainbow Bay has that secluded feel about it. Not too crowded; plenty of off-street parking for the visitors and such a relaxing laid back vibe. By the end of the week we were on first name basis with the staff at our favourite coffee shop! If you think 'relaxing' and 'family' don't go together when describing holidays, try Rainbow Place, I reckon you'll change your mind! Maybe even try for Unit 25 and then you can update their guest book; we'll look for you when...
Read moreFantastic views from apartment 26 over Rainbow Bay towards Surfer's Paradise in distance. Apartment was modern, spacious, clean and well appointed.
Friendly efficient reception check in and zero interference from friendly resident manager's.
Car parking was tight but not a problem.
Mattress in main bedroom was not to our liking as it was a bit saggy and soft, which affected our backs, but we moved to the singles in the 2nd bedroom and they were fine.
The lounge in the living room was in need of a shampoo, as it was getting a bit grubby and did smell at the door end.
At times, especially on the weekend there was significant traffic noise, especially motor bikes, but it was quiet after dark.
There were renovations in apt. 25 next door, but they did not bother us.
Great walking on the esplanade right below the apartment.
No restaurants handy but there are plenty just a short car drive away. 2 surf clubs are within walking distance for an afternoon / early evening drink, or standard meal.
In all a really great place to stay with the exception of main bedroom mattress which should be looked at soon for replacement.
We definitely...
Read moreWe have been coming to Rainbow Place apartments in winter for the last 11 years. The apartments have the best views on the coast and having breakfast on the balcony each morning, watching the board riders in the crystal clear warm water, is beautiful. The apartments are very clean, beds comfortably and fully equipped. All apartments are very quiet especially at night. The apartments are also close to Twin Towns for entertainment and Cooly for restaurants and shopping. The walks from Rainbow Bay, Kirra, D’bar and the Tweed River are simply stunning. Managers Amanda and Phillip are such hard workers and take so much pride in what they do. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Their extended family plus Jacqui and Caroline on the desk are delightful. We call them our Rainbow Place family. When we leave our little bit of paradise we always feel so sad but always look forward to our 6 weeks a year we spend at the best apartments on the coast. Thanks Phillip and Amanda for such...
