Torquay285 King Studio Beachfront Resort

Close to the beach, and excellent view of the forest, lot of sun light in the apartment Excellent overall

Lovely weekend break for myself and my children. The room was spacious and light-filled with serene views of the coastal scrubland from the window and balcony. Huge bathroom with double showerhead and the jet bath was a plus. Lana has thought of everything so it was an easy and relaxing weekend away. Beach across the road, great cafe's and shops walking distance. Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel was clean and spacious, with beautiful surroundings and the beach right next door. The large swimming pool and kids’ play area were perfect for families. Shopping centres were conveniently just 10 minutes away. Most importantly, Lana & the staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

I loved this stay in Torquay! It's got a fantastic view from the floor to ceiling windows of the green space and feels very private and secluded. The unit has everything you would need for a short or longer stay like I did. The amenities and grounds are lovely as is the location. And the host was very accommodating and responded quickly. Highly recommended.

Fun in the sun

Lana, the host, was great to deal with. She messaged me back right away when I had issues with the cleanliness of the room upon arrival. Unfortunately, the property itself had some issues, as did this particular unit. The pros and cons from my stay are outlined below: Pros • Floor to ceiling windows in unit • Lovely forest view (walking path directly below suite) • Comfy pillows • Big smart TV • Big communal pool area • Jetted tub* (con below) • Large 2 person standing shower • Kitchenette with stove and small dishwasher • Corner unit • Balcony • Washer/dryer • Ample underground parking Cons • Sticky/dirty floors upon arrival (Lana sent cleaner back to the room the next day). Counters were also not thoroughly cleaned • Decor, furniture, floors are dated • Could use a new duvet; quite lumpy • Mini fridge is too small, tiny freezer doesn't freeze anything (had water in ice cube trays for 5 days and it did not freeze) • Small garbage can in kitchen • Uncomfortable mattress and couch • Jetted tub hadn't been cleaned (brown gunk came out of the jets when turned on) • Curtains dirty on bottom (looks like mould) • Hot tub is freezing cold. Had to literally get out after 2 minutes and go back to the room for a hot bath. • Reception isn't interested in helping you as your unit is technically not resort-owned (ie. bring food from hotel cafe up to room) • Cafe food is mediocre at best (cold, bland pizza)

Beautiful location, pool, beach so close. Great bathroom, nice view. Lots of good utensils in the kitchen, however two main concens: 1. Checkin complicated, as had to go to a storage unit for key pickup, which also needed access codes. Also could have used 2 sets of keys, but not supplied. 2. Fridge very small for a week long stay. On the whole would have given 5 stars, but our two concerns brought it down a bit. Thank you.

We had a fabulous stay at Torquay 285. The apartment is superb: amazing floor to ceiling glass windows and balcony overlooking a nature reserve; everything you need for a stay - even a washer and dryer and generous amounts of tea and coffee; and a lovely spec all in tip top condition. The resort is superb with a beautiful pool and spa as a sort of oasis in the centre, and then really good facilities such as a well equipped gym…and of course a stones throw from the beach. Highly recommended.

This was a great property for a few days away with my partner. The pool was absolutely amazing. Close the beach and shops.

Fantastic two night escape at a lovely apartment

Great little apartment, clean and close to beach and restaurants. Highly recommend.
