Our second visit as we love the apartment block and the location plus parking on site. On the beach and views were great. Sits between SUrfers and Broadbeach so no noise from busy Surfers but 10-15 mins walk either direction and you have everything you need.

The property is in a beautiful location but for the money I spent I expected the apartment to be a little cleaner and newer…. It was not 4 1/2 stars.

Excellent beachfront Gold Coast apartment
Staying at the Dorchester on the Beach was an excellent choice for our three night family getaway. The location was amazing - looking straight out across the ocean we could see and hear the ocean from both balconies. Three roomy bedrooms and three toilets and bathrooms were most appreciated. Kitchen had everything we needed and more and the laundry was clean with a new front loading washer and dryer.
Even though the reception was rarely open, the after hours check in was seamless and efficient.
We would definitely stay here again for the right price.

We couldn't have been happier with our place. It had a very well appointed kitchen and the furniture was very comfortable to take in the most amazing view. The building is right on the beach and just a short walk to the eateries in Surfers Paradise. Would definately recommend.

This was my first visit to Surfers Paradise. Was searching for a hotel for my solo travel. Ocean views of the apartments helped me to make my decision quick. Booked 3 bedroom 4 star ocean view apartment.
When I arrive my check in was very easy and pleasant. Karen gave me lot's of necessary information about the area and the apartment. My apartment was exactly what I was expecting. Stunning view, spotless clean, spacious rooms, laundry and a fully equiped kitchen with amazing view.
Ocean view is breath-taking and walk to beach in no time. Outdoor swimming pool is heated so you enjoy the warm pool when there is wind outside. Easy beach walk to grocery store and restaurants in max 10mn.
If you are looking for safe and family oriented stay, Dorchester on the Beach is %100 what you searching for.
Karen and Michael is super friendly.They made my solo holiday so great and made me feel like I am at home. At the end, I didn't want to come back and I extended my stay for 1 extra day :)
I did have a chance to see most of the different apartments. They are all stunning and especially 4.5 stars are very luxuries. I will advise this apartments everyone now and in the future and I am looking forward to come back for another retreat in this heavenly place.
I can't even thank enough to Karen & Michael being extremely warm and welcoming to me. Absolutely fantastic.
See you soon my dear new friends !

Great location and can walk straight onto the beach. The penthouse apartment had lots of room with a big upstairs deck so it would have been great if it had a bbq

座落黃金海岸沙灘旁邊，無敵海景；老闆兩夫婦提供一流服務。價錢合理，物超所值。
第一次租住「Service Apartment」，老闆Michael & Karen 是一對熱情殷勤的好人，有問必答；兩人管理得酒店整整有條，雖然部份設施略舊，但整潔和齊全。客廳和飯廳面向黃金海岸沙灘，無敵海景；可以直接步行到沙灘。有暖水泳池（泳池略細）。地牢停車場每戶都有指定車位（車位略窄，不過Michael 會提醒你點樣停泊），非常適合自駕遊。我們會再回來。

Paid extra for a renovated room and didn’t get one
The staff were extremely rude and aggressive to the Expedia customer service person who called them to try and resolve a query.
I paid $30 per night extra for a renovated room but did not receive this.
