Mark's wife, Bev, gave us a warm welcome when we arrived in Mainwaring Apartments in Casuarina. It's a well appointed, residential resort and we were delighted to see the tennis court, the restaurant and the boxing gym as we approached our apartment.
The apartment is lovely. Well appointed with everything we needed including fresh towels, toiletries etc. The full kitchen with full sized oven and dishwasher was great. It's important to me to be able to cook what I want for my boys and when I want. There's a Woolworths in nearby Cabarita which was handy and we were able to hire DVDs. We surfed at Casuarina beach which was nice and quiet and sometimes it was just us the surf life savers! We wanted a break from the crowds at Surfers Paradise and Coolongatta so this was perfect and the waves were pumping on Tuesday and Thursday. It's an ideal place to stay for families or couples who want a quiet place to stay yet only 25 minutes from Coolongatta. Bev and Mark are terrific, easygoing people to deal with, and we will definitely be back.
