Hotels Near Black Swan Park in Maroochydore

The only issue was the bathroom design. The bathroom had 1 door for the shower and toilet, and also the walls were made of frosted glass, which caused awkward shadows when someone was using the shower. However the night light feature in the bathroom was good. The room was clean, staff were friendly, the bed was comfortable. Parking across the road in the paid facility was also handy as it seemed to be free on weekends. Would stay again

We stayed at Verve for 10 nights from 27 December 2021 to early Jan 2022. Unfortunately, it rained almost every day except for 2 days. We were on the 6th floor (603) great views, large apartment with everything we needed except the Sun! This would be a great place without the rain, you can walk to Ginger Tiger Japanese, BYO, Sang's, BYO and Hathi Indian, BYO at Alexander Headland, you can catch the bus to Moom, which is BYO at Mooloabah. The only other disappointing thing about Maroochydore is that everything closes on a public holiday is you have no where to go locally! I got to the beach for a swim once!

The website claimed that the property was close to shops and restaurants. The situation was not close to anything except a couple of restaurants and a bakery which was very nice. There were no maps available to local eateries, shops etc. While the apartment was clean, it was very tired. There was nothing left in it (apart from one small packet of laundry powder and the smallest bottle of milk in the world! ) Had to buy my own dishwashing liquid, laundry powder, and rubbish bags. The rubbish room was on the ground floor and we were asked to dispose of all rubbish prior to departure or we would be charged $100! The whole time I was there the swipe card for after hours access at the front entrance did not work so had to walk a few yards down the street (in the dark) to access the back entrance. Not ideal. There was no information available on local attractions, trips, activities. The receptionists were not helpful when asking for advice as to how to get to places, how to call a taxi (my NZ mobile would not work on the local number). Fortunately I have an Uber app so used Ubers which were great. The pool was closed for a day (without notice). Wifi was intermittent and not reliable at all. I had a wonderful time on my break but that was due to my pre-planning prior to the trip. I would not recommend this property. Jane

Have just returned to NZ after 3 weeks staying at The Rise. This was our second stay and we have rebooked for next year. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. The apartments are very modern and stylish with magnificent views all round. We had a two bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment, laundry, fantastic living, dining area and gorgeous sunny balcony. It is very handy to shops, restaurants and beach. A must stay!

The rooms were spotless, tastefully furnished and had clean modern finishes. The units had everything you need for an extended stay and were extra large. The pool was small but clean with a large sit in spa. The view from the 8th floor was stunning, not so much for my colleagues on different floors and sides of the hotel. Note to potential customers, it is not near the beach. It's a 5 minute walk to the riverside but very handy for cafes, restaurants and shops.

Stayed at the Sebel Maroochydore for a weekend! The room was fantastic. We stayed in one of there 2 bedroom Terrace apartments! What can I say! It was big,spacious and beautiful! And the view was incredible. On check In the reception team were very lovely and welcoming. I did speak with other reception team who were equally as lovely. True asserts to the Sebel Team. We did attempt as a Platinum Accor member to get a late check out, due our flight schedule changing,however the latest time we were allowed to check out was 12pm which was disappointing. Pool area was lovely and well maintained and great temperature. The hotel is conveniently located for any facilities you would need for your stay. Would definitely recommend this hotel. Enjoyed it so much we have just made another booking for February.

Excellent location, sea view apartment, apartment with complete home facilities, easy access to roads, across the road is the beach, one of the best surfing beaches, 1-10 minutes walk to various restaurants around, 10 minutes drive to the largest shopping mall in the area, apartment swimming pool + sauna +BBQ+The entertainment area on the first floor is very suitable for family travel. It's just that when the restaurant downstairs opens, there will be some cooking aroma wafting into the bedroom, but just close the window. Pay attention to sun protection and rain protection when going out during the day, as it is cooler at night.

Units in this apartment complex appear to be a mix of owner-occupied, long-term rentals and holiday/short-term rentals. We stayed in a two bedroom apartment on the second floor of one of the towers for four nights. We were told that this apartment was currently up for sale. We chose this Apartment complex as it was close to the place where our friends lived. As it turned out the Apartments were less than a 10 minute walk to Sunshine Plaza and about a 25 minute flat walk to Maroochydore beach. There were several coffee shops nearby and a bakery and convenience shop across the road. The unit was furnished and quite large with a combined lounge/dining area, a separate kitchen, a laundry with a separate toilet, a bathroom with a separate bath and a shower but no toilet and an ensuite bathroom with a shower (good pressure), basin and toilet. The two bedrooms were a reasonable size, both with queen sized beds (comfortable) and had plenty of space in the built-in wardrobes. In the kitchen there was a full sized fridge, an oven, a cooktop, microwave oven, dishwasher, kettle, toaster etc and sufficient pots, pans, crockery and cutlery. There was also a balcony. The two downsides to this unit were that you felt as if you lived in a fish bowl as surrounding units had a very good view into the kitchen, lounge room and balcony. Also you could see into the two bedrooms from the street. Second was that the WIFI was effectively non-existent. We did have the Strata Manager reset the router at one stage but this proved to be only a temporary fix. The Strata Managers, Coral and her husband, were very pleasant and helpful. We did not use any of the complex's facilities that included a swimming pool and games room.

The best part is the pool, although it is not heated. The spa was stone cold unfortunately. Unknowingly we were allocated a unit up 3 flights of stairs and our view was of skyscraper buildings across the road. The beach was across another road. The unit was spotless but only a few miserable tea bags, sugar and coffee. One piece of soap and one dishwasher tablet. One set of towels. What would have been useful is instructions as to where to put rubbish (in a basement garage) how to operate the opener for the garage and gate. THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE is for kiwis to have a phone that works in Aust. We arrived in the dark only to find an Aust mobile number on the gate. In the end I had to shout until another occupier heard us to let us in. We worked out the keypad number was the post code plus hash. The beds were comfy but very soft. The unit was spacious but a ground floor one would be my pick. We would stay here again as it is in a handy spot but quiet. The reception is only open 8 to 5.
