It is an older style one bathroom, separate toilet apartment. The building has a lift. The apartment is very quiet and comfortable.The host Sandra is extremely responsive and answered my questions really quickly. The apartment is very well equipped, in fact we found there was too much there. All of the cupboards and drawers were filled. I always cook normally when travelling and it was a bit difficult going through everything to find what I required.As there is no extra space in the cupboards we ended up keeping the things we used regularly on top of the bench. Overall it was a comfortable place to stay and I we would certainly stay again.

The apartment is a home away from home. It was better equipped than most of the properties we have stayed in. It was very clean and Sandra May was a great host. It was just what a couple of elderly Kiwis needed. Dr G F Davis

special spot

We stayed here for 11 weeks and found everything you could possibly need for a long or short stay. Comfortable, very clean and neat and what magnificent views from the balcony! Very efficient lift and great security system made it easy to relax. Very caring hosts also. We intend to book for our next break in Qld.

Good, clean,cheap accommodation for families.

We booked Arcadia as it was reasonably priced and had enough beds for our family of 5. It is in a perfect location, being within 5 minutes of Harbour Town and Runaway Bay shopping centre, and within a 10-15 minute drive to the theme parks. The instructions on how to enter the property were very easy to understand. We arrived a bit earlier than expected and met the owner who was there cleaning the unit. The owner was very welcoming and escorted us up to the unit. There were plenty of supplies there which he told us we were welcome to use, including, toilet paper, washing powder, pantry items etc, which was lovely. The kids loved the pool, and the majority of the time they were the only ones in it. On the 3rd night into our 10 night stay, the light in the bathroom blew. After contacting the owners and letting them know, they had the light replaced that day. The ceiling fans in the living area and main bedroom, combined with the breeze, make for a lovely cool unit. The only negatives we have is that the carpet is very outdated, but after reading another review I noticed that the carpet is getting replaced soon. The furniture and decor is also a bit outdated and the lounge covers were slightly annoying and kept falling off especially when children were sitting on them. Some new matching linen for the beds would brighten the bedrooms up and make them more visually appealing. Al in all, this is a great unit for families that are not wanting to pay ridiculous amounts of money for accommodation. We knew we would be out most days so were happy to spend less on accommodation and have more spending money. I would not hesitate staying at Arcadia again, next time we visit the Gold Coast. One more thing I'd like to mention, the owner said that they were thinking removing the 2 sets of bunks to allow a ceiling fan to be installed in the second bedroom. Can I suggest if you put 2 single beds in there, that you add a couple of trundle beds or fold up beds? Arcadia really is a great unit for families, it would be great if it still accommodated 6 people. Thanks again, and we hope to see you again soon.
