Reviews for Windward Passage

Review 1：3 bedroom apartment was spotless. Waterfront location with great views from the deck. Staff onsite were friendly, Mary was very helpful. Wish we had stayed longer. Will be back for sure!!

Review 2：A minor point would be that some of the cupboard doors in the kitchen are in need of repair.

Review 3：A spacious apartment with great facilities and lovely views. A very comfortable place for a long weekend or a longer stay. Convenient location for the Qld Air Museum which is well worth a visit.

Review 4：Owner of unit we stayed in could update some of the cooking utensils and provide a sandwich press to make it even better.

Review 5：Friendly managers who responded promptly to any requests or suggestions. Very comfortable unit in a great location overlooking water.

Review 6：The only thing I could possibly pick on was the Pool area being a little small.

Review 7：Harley and Mary were amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome. The room was lovely and decorated well giving a nice homely feeling. Great location on the beach and close to shops and restaurants. Had a wonderful holiday and the kids loved it!!

Review 8：Blinds didn't cover window in second bedroom properly and lights from hallways (on all night) lit room at night. Shower from unit above second room very loud and lack of privacy on big deck from a couple of other units....easily fixed with a big pot plant!

Review 9：The incredible view! Quiet location and close proximity to shops and eateries. Great walking areas along Esplanade and beaches. Well equipped unit. Overall a fabulous place. I thoroughly recommend it and will return. Friendly and very helpful property managers!

Review 10：Renovations on an upstairs floor were carried out over a couple of days with constant jack hammering during the day which was annoying and loud. A bit more warning about this would have been nice so we could have planned our days out better to avoid the noise.

Review 11：Perfect location and perfect view for a very relaxing holiday stay. The bed was really comfy and the bathrooms very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful when needed. Would definitely recommend as the facilities were well worth the rate and it was within walking distance to shops, cafes, waterfront and beach.

Review 12：No major complaints. Bathroom locks with an override on the outside would be a good improvement, unfortunately my toddler locked it as we were leaving, we were lucky they were on the outside!

Review 13：Fantastic value and really friendly staff, the place was amazingly clean for older units. Kitchen was well appointed and the view was amazing. Undercover parking and they even found us a space for an extra car as it was quiet.

Review 14：It was advertised as free wi fi but we then found out that was limited to 1 gig for the entire stay. We stayed 12 nights and so we had to pay for extra wi fi. This is false advertising.

Review 15：Good location and a well equipped unit

Review 16：The spacious layout and appealing decor of the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with impressive views to Caloundra CBD, the ocean and the Glasshouse Mountains exceeded our expectations. The onsite availability of parking and free wi-fi was also beneficial.

Review 17：The apartment was comfortable, clean and had everything you could need . Staff very efficient and friendly. Well placed for restaurants, shopping and walking along the coastal path.

Review 18：Having to leave!

Review 19：Value, Spaciousness, Large Courtyard, Garden and Pumicestone Passage View, Extensive kitchen equipment, Double Basin, shower and spa in Bathroom 1. Vanity, Shower and Bathtub in Bathroom 2, Modern and Clean, Close to everything at Caloundra

Review 20：Views fantastic especially sunrise and sunsets awesome. Decor nautical very relaxing.managers very pleasant and helpful. Thank you both looking forward to our next family holiday with you

Review 21：Hospitality of hosts. Great location. Clean, well maintained facilities. Security and privacy of unit. Disabled car park and hand rails in bathroom. Daily newspaper delivered.

Review 22：Once individual garage shut unable to get back in without manager have to break in - but that was just the unit I was in.

Review 23：Easy walking distance to everything. Clean comfortable accommodation Friendly managers

Review 24：The second bedroom was affected by both light from the bright lights on the landing and noise from central air conditioning or building facilities.

Review 25：Well appointed with good quality chattels and plenty of them

Review 26：Nothing really, the only comment I would make is that it would be helpful to provide a small amount of cleaning products for the cooker and toilet etc as reluctant to buy these if staying for a week or so - keeps it all cleaner!

Review 27：Mary and her husband were really friendly and helpful. The apartment was everything advertised and the view was absolutely wonderful. It was lovely and we long to return, we certainly will when we come over again from the UK.

Review 28：Parking was too far from our unit to carry our luggage. We decided to park on the street to have easier access to our car.

Review 29：Great view; easy access to shops; great fridge size.

Review 30：We planned to spend 2 nights, got so comfortable, we spent an extra night, and came back later and spent another 2 nights. Thanks to friendly accomodating managers.

Review 31：Car space in basement very tight !

Review 32：Management staff were friendly and so helpful we were treated as friends and would stay there again, felt like it was a home away from home!!

Review 33：The shower is narrow and the shelf attached to shower makes it worse. Parking is a very tight squeeze in the supplied underground car park.

Review 34：Location is great. Views are wonderful Staff were friendly and helpful.

Review 35：car parks are very tight for larger cars and 4WD...

Review 36：The kitchen was spacious and had everything you could need, was a little worried with the glass tables in the lounge area as we had young children... but otherwise great.

Review 37：We thought there was a beach in front of the condo building and there is not.

Review 38：The views are fantastic. The unit was quiet and quite spacious. It had a washer and dryer (in unit), 2 balconies with furniture and underground garage parking. Both the parking and the unit were well secured.

Review 39：The car park was very challenging with a 96 year old - we ended parking on the street instead

Review 40：Staff arranged special elderly toilet and chair aids - no trouble at all

Review 41：just would have liked to see more foxtel channels for example MTV!!

Review 42：Mary and Harley are lovely, friendly and helpful people!! The spa!! the new salt Chlorinated pool!! The bed was very comfy!! The garbage chute!!

Review 43：Wifi was too slow to be useful - challenging for teenage children!

Review 44：Great views and very comfortable unit. Kitchen well supplied with everything needed.

Review 45：I think the airconditioning struggles on the hottest nights.

Review 46：We liked the access we had to some of the main features of Caloundra. the beach and a variety of eateries were a maximum 15 min walk - leisurely stroll. 2 Supermarkets were 10 min walk. Once I parked the car in the garage I didn't move it for 4 days.

Review 47：The antiquated method of entry into every section and lift access should be upgraded. At times very annoying.

Review 48：Set up well with all facilities in the apartment.

Review 49：The wind tunnel effect and noise from the atrium that the second bedroom backed onto. Could not have window open at night, even then could still hear the hum of the wind. Two windy nights made it even worse, had to plug up the back door with the bath mat.

Review 50：Loved just about everything, especially the view from the balcony, and walking distance to the main street.

Review 51：Everything was really great however, there was a lot of garden work being done whilst we were there. I wasn't overly keen for our littlest (12mths) to crawl on grass that just had fertiliser on it but I know it needs to be done so no real issue there.

Review 52：The location is stunning and was really happy to have some room for the kids to run around on the grass outside. Apartment was a good size for the four of us

Review 53：The lack of room in the garage area The absence of an internal safe

Review 54：The magnificent views The 'wrap around' terraces The spaciousness of the apartment The facilities within the apartment The building security The cleanliness of the property The location

Review 55：the room/elevator/pool key not the best idea. could be up graded

Review 56：perfect views. close to everyhing. great walking track to shops. THE BEST managers that help you with anything. we will be staying there again next time were in that area

Review 57：We had a great four night stay. The apartment was well appointed and the views brilliant. We had one small problem that was fixed promptly by the management team. We will return for another visit!!!

Review 58：Our stay at Windward Passage was all we hoped for plus. The managers were very welcoming and helpful. The apartment was well equipped and convenient to shops, eateries, beach and Boardwalk. A comfortable bed, quiet location, and amazing views also contributed to making our stay most enjoyable. Very highly recommended.

Review 59：Location and the friendliness and how helpful the hosts, Mary and Harley were. Quiet area and only a 10 minute walk to the main shops. A bother sHopping centre three minute walk away.

Review 60：dishwasher leaving a pool of water when open door & paid lots of money for unit to have lights not working in dining room also . Do love position & do accept weather as can be windy - will return

Review 61：position

Review 62：I can't think of anything & that would be a first for us.

Review 63：The apartment had lots off space. The spa in the main bedroom was wonderful, everything you needed or wanted was there.!!!!!!!! Security was great no need to worry about car, ect

Review 64：The seating area at the BBQ area could use a bigger table and a shade sail. Sitting out there in the afternoon sun was quite uncomfortable.

Review 65：The spectacular views across the channel and to the the township of Caloundra.

Review 66：Car parking was extremely tight. Hard to manoeuvre our vehicle. Sliding screen door to balcony fell off when it was opened.

Review 67：Excellent position & views.

Review 68：Rooms looked a little tired walls could use some sugar soap! Back room when wind picks up gets very loud with draft in corridor...Do not order from the all round food delivery book very expensive and poor take away! (Not associated with the Windward) better to get food out....

Review 69：Very friendly and helpful staff and management!! Fantastic location! Clean, very relaxing stay!! Great view, and fantastic location!! Very happy will stay again!!!

Review 70：About 15 mins after arrival the owner needed to fix the gout in shower, Washing machine didn't work had to use another rooms washing machine so this meant going back and forth from my room to the other with a 12 month old very inconvenient, the air-con was stuck on cold air when we wanted heat so we had to call someone up for that whilst freezing to death, last but not least I booked a late check out at 12-1 pm they rang at 10am asking when we were checking out, they should no what's going on in there own apartment complex, and concidering how much went wrong on our stay they should have given us the extra time without trying to push us out the door. They also offered to have us back in a different apartment for a reduced price...ha...should have been a complimentry stay not impresses at all with the staff, especially they where very rude, didn't seem to want to accommodate us at all they also commented on the cost of having to clean another apartment out and it would be to expensive for them to place us in another room, when that's not my problem I payed my money I should have got what I payed for!!!
