Great
value for money and directly opposite the beach, this friendly, smallish high-rise has well-
kept, spacious apartments with one or two bedrooms: mod furnishings, nice art, super-
clean, and all facing the sea.

Slick but af-
fordable, this chocolate-and-green high-rise on the Nerang River is a vibrant gem amongst
Surfers' bland plethora of hotels and apartments. The rooms are subtle-chic and the pool
is a top spot for sundowners. The aqua-view rooms have Nerang River views.

This roomy,
73-apartment tower at the river end of Cavill Ave is great for families: the vibe is quiet
and respectful. The location is close to the beach, the shops and the restaurants. Super-
clean and managed with a smile.

Less Loire Valley, more Las Vegas, this seaside 'chateau' (actually an
18-storey tower) is an excellent choice. All the renovated studios and apartments have
ocean views and the 18m pool is a bonus. Minimum two-night stay.
