This review shows just how much our past guests have loved accommodation at Orchid Residences.
“If you’re looking for luxury with a blend of comfort I would highly recommend this apartment. It was superb with the most amazing views from every room 48 floors high. The apartment itself is quiet large with plenty of space to move around. The furnishings are very modern and the beds are very comfortable, definitely one of the best nights sleep I’ve had followed by opening the curtain to a picturesque view. If there was anything negative to say it would be that our Foxtel wasn’t working but even then that had little effect on our stay and was quickly sorted out. The location couldn’t be more central to the main streets of surfers paradise with restaurants and shops at our doorstep. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone and I will surely be returning. Thank you Tony.” – Benjamin, Orchid Residences, Apartment 24802
