"What a fabulous place! The Pink Hotel is a real gem with unique charm. Couldn't fault the room - comfy bed and couches, fully stocked mini bar and most of all, plenty of character. Service was wonderful and the manager was very kind and attentive. Location couldnt be better really, as its walking distance to the beach and all the best restaurants. I probably wouldn't stay here for more than a couple of nights, as there's no kitchenette, but for a short stay it's perfect."

"X Kirra apartments were amazing. Not sure how long ago they were built but they look and feel almost brand new. Very clean, fresh and modern. The view was outstanding. We could see all the way to the high rises of the Goldie. We found an awesome little coffee/breakfast spot called the Kirra Cafe which was right next door to our apartments. Kirra Surf club is about a 2 minute walk and we had an amazing dinner at the restaurant attached to the surf club called Sibling. No matter were you...
