4-star beachfront apartments with floor-to-ceiling ocean views in Main Beach

Accommodations

Every apartment at The Waterford On Main Beach has floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the ocean from the lounge, dining area, kitchen, and master bedroom. The hotel offers only two 2-bedroom apartments per floor for added privacy, while the luxury sub penthouses occupy entire floors. Each self-contained apartment includes a gourmet kitchen with a stove, oven, and dishwasher, plus a large lounge area with a DVD player and free cable TV.

Facilities

The outdoor pool area has a year-round heated swimming pool with a waterfall, a spa, and a plunge pool surrounded by a large cabana, BBQ grills, tables, and sunbeds. Guests can play a game of tennis on the onsite court using the provided balls and racquets, or relax in the steam room. A gym with modern, clean equipment and a hot tub are also available for guest use.

Location

The hotel sits between the beach on one side and the river on the other, with the ocean less than 30 meters from the entrance. Tedder Avenue's restaurants and boutique shops are a 3-minute drive away, and both Marina Mirage shopping and SeaWorld theme park are within a 5-minute drive. Surfers Paradise is a 15-minute walk from the hotel, and the Gold Coast Convention Centre is nearby for business travelers.

Families

The hotel is suited for families, with spacious 2-bedroom apartments that include a fully equipped kitchen and a large lounge area. Macintosh Island Park and its children's playgrounds are a 2-minute walk away. The outdoor pool area, with its cabana and BBQ facilities, provides a space for family meals and swimming.

Practical Information

Secure underground parking with fob access is provided on site, and a key access system and CCTV coverage ensure property security. Luggage storage is available for guests arriving early or departing late. The hotel is a 30-minute drive from Gold Coast Airport.

Highlights

Views: Floor-to-ceiling ocean views from every apartment

Privacy: Only 2 apartments per floor; sub penthouses occupy whole floors

Pool: Year-round heated salt-water pool with waterfall and spa

Beach: 30 meters from a quiet, supervised beach

Family: 2-minute walk to Macintosh Island Park playgrounds

Location: 5 minutes from SeaWorld and Marina Mirage

“The Waterford On Main Beach strikes me as a notable choice, primarily for its location that gives every apartment stunning ocean views; furthermore, its proximity to Tedder Avenue's dining scene adds definite appeal. I think the major refurbishment elevates the apartments; the unique setting-beach on one side, river on the other-makes it quite special. It's a luxury stay that balances relaxation with convenient access to Gold Coast attractions.”
