BreakFree Peninsula Surfers Paradise

Great stay - amazing views. Very large 2 bedroom apartment. It's great to see the building is being renovated as it is very tired. The amenities are incredible and after the renovations this will be a highly sought after hotel as the position is fabulous. Check in after hours is a bit confusing the number on the window is wrong. I would highly recommend Breakfree as a budget conscious stay.

If location are your priority, this hotel/resort is for you. Everything is within our reach, no need to walk far to see the sunrise and sunset (which is a must). The apartment is great for families, spacious room and huge backyard for bbq or swim in their outdoor pool.

Great Value The welcome comity is something else, My wife was shouted at by (we’ll call her Karen for the purpose of the exercise!) for use of appartment trolley! No exagertion, literally shouted at and berated! So my wife continued with the rather irate direction, instead of walking 6m of foyer floor to the lift, she was ordered outside the building and into the street, continued down the decent to the carpark so that she could enter the lift from the basement. In the process she strained her back and is now in serious pain! Well done Breakfree Peninsula appartments! This is what one needs after an eight hour drive to take a vacation! Violating trolley protocol! Well done Karen! We will not be back! Like they say, you get what you pay for! The place is cheap and so is the service.

Whilst the apartment offered amazing views it lacked advertised amenities, the main one being no satellite/cable tv and/or movies. There was a foxtel box and remote in the apartment but were told there was in fact no FOXTEL in the building! Wifi was provided by a portable box that we had to connect.This is a standard inclusion in the majority of accommodation providers of a lesser rating. The was an Issue with “hammer pipes” while trying to shower which was not addressed. I was told by reception that she would forward my concerns/complaint to a manager who would in turn contact me. It’s been two weeks since and I haven’t received any response from them. Very unprofessional way of doing business and I would not recommend this poorly managed property at this stage.

We have stayed several times at Peninsula & find it very well located close to Cavill Avenue & Surf Clubs. Best to select a refurbished room with aircon. We stay in a 2 bedroom appartment which give us plenty or room. Parking can be a bit tight but it’s good to have undercover secure parking at no extra cost. The portable WiFi modem supplied worked well but needed to be kept plugged in to power constantly.
