"We had a beautiful stay at Oaks Seaforth. Our room was in the Cascades building and was spacious, well set out, comfortable and had an outdoor setting on the patio where my husband and I enjoyed a bottle of red wine. A variety of food places both dine in and takeaway were only a 100 metre walk from the front door of the building. Bed was comfy. Only thing I would request additional was another blanket and a couple more pillows. We will definitely stay here again, hopefully for a bit longer...

Stayed at The Sound a few times now and it's just an easy, chilled out place to stay. It's walking distance to Hasting Street and Noosaville shops, the room is simple but has everything you need. Kitchenette facilities are great for basic cooking.

We stayed here for a 1 night weekend away with 3 young children and it was enjoyable. The 2 bedroom room on the 3rd level was self contained with wifi and plenty of space for the children to play with their toys.

A nice, modern hotel within a few minutes to the beach and Mooloolaba shopping/dining precinct. We stayed in a 1 bed apartment which was spacious, well appointed and very comfortable. A user friendly Tv/entertainment setup was great. The room was also very quiet. We would definitely stay again and recommend to others. The only thing that would be preferable would be a larger pool, but that encourages you to walk across the road and use the beach!

The only thing we could fault is that the bed was too soft for us, which isn’t a big deal. Otherwise it was a beautiful night in the rainforest, listening to the sounds of nature.

Booked last minute for somewhere to overnight after a work party. After a nightmare hotel in Kawana last year wasn't expecting much. Pleasantly surprised, from the friendly staff and general cleanliness to the lovely room decor, a really good experience. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap cheerful place to stay.

The staff, particularly Marine, Rhiannon and Michael were so helpful during our 3 night stay. Our apartment was extremely well appointed, spotlessly clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable, location was perfect, close to restaurants, shops and with absolute beach frontage, would return there in a heartbeat.
