Each unit has a full kitchen with refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, and laundry facilities with washer and dryer. Smart TVs with Netflix, cable channels, and unlimited Wi-Fi are provided throughout.
Self-Contained Kitchen Facilities
All apartments include fully equipped kitchens with refrigerator freezers, cooktops, ovens, microwave ovens, and dishwashers. The three-bedroom sub-penthouses feature gourmet kitchens with water and ice dispensers, built-in wok stations, and teppanyaki grills. No onsite restaurants are available, but Tedder Avenue cafes and restaurants are an 8-minute walk away. Pete's Fresh Seafood market is nearby for purchasing local seafood to cook on the property's BBQs.
Recreation and Wellness Amenities
The property features a heated swimming pool, heated spa, heated plunge pool, steam room, and onsite gym. A full-sized tennis court with night lighting and three BBQ areas with cabana seating are available. A riverside jetty provides fishing access, and outdoor showers are located near the pool area. Macintosh Island Park, a 2-minute walk away, offers additional BBQs, playgrounds, and wildlife viewing including peacocks and pelicans.
Main Beach Location Access
Located 30 meters from Main Beach, the property faces the ocean with no buildings obstructing views. Tedder Avenue restaurants and shops are an 8-minute walk, while Surfers Paradise is 15 minutes on foot. The 705 bus stops outside, connecting to SeaWorld (5-minute drive) and Broadbeach. Gold Coast Airport is 40 minutes by taxi. Nearby attractions include Marina Mirage, Southport Yacht Club, and SeaWorld theme park, all within 5 minutes' drive.
Property Management Services
Onsite managers provide reception services and local recommendations. Secure underground parking with 1.9m height clearance is included for one car per apartment (two cars for penthouses). Initial supplies include soap, shampoo, toilet paper, dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, tea, coffee, and milk. Beach towels are available for a small fee. The property features intercom security access and 24-hour security entry with fob system.
“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.”
