The property was beautifully decorated, with great views. Location was perfectly situated between the 2 sand blows. But the internet connection is poor and couldnt watch any netflix etc. Insulation between master and living space was zero and theres no door between master and ensuit. The noise coming from the appartment above at night time was constant, as they had children running around at all hours of the night and the use of the spa from above after 9pm. From other bedrooms the elevator was heard a lot, kids were playing in the lift early and then during check out we were wait for ages, as the kids were playing with them holding them up.
Everything was very clean and the views were spectacular.
Amazing view
Amazing view, comfortable and spacious. It’s amazing to be so close to the Carlo sandblow for a walk.
Top spot, we'll be back again next year !
Nice quiet area lovely ocean views
It’s a very clean place. The rooms were neat and tidy. The area around the property is well looked after.
We received a free upgrade to a king suite which we appreciated.
Excellent hotel and great view over the whole peninsula. The only one criticism of the room was there was not toilet door for the ensuite and therefore for people who wish to have privacy could make you feel uncomfortable.
Ocean Views
Wonderful views. Good for the soul. Property Managers were very helpful. Highly recommend
It may be a trivial issue, but the kettle had a very short lead and didn't reach the powerpoints in the kitchen, so we had to use a lamp powerpoint near the floor. Attention to detail!
A bit out of the main centre of town, the walk up the hill is a bit of a workout but not too bad, Beautiful outlook from high on the hill, very close to Carlo blow. Very spacious high quality very well appointed unit. Luxlurious and confortable.
We enjoyed our stay. The management made us feel welcomed and provided great customer service.
The position was amazing and fantastic accommodation.
The property was immaculate and well worth booking. Not as close to the beach as i thought but the view was exceptional. Welcomed by Anne &Jo who couldnt have been more helpful. I was more disappointed with expedia thinking inwas getting a better nihhtly price it would have been a lot cheaper to book direct with the property!!!! I was not happy and will be more careful booking on this site again. But if unwant a relaxing stay then this propwrty is the go.
Great facilities, great location & wonderful service. I will definitely be going back. On-site managers (Anna & Joe) went out if their way to look after us.
Check your room for damage on arrival
Stayed here with my 9month pregnant wife and 4yr old daughter. Apartment had a hole in the wall above head height on arrival and thought nothing of it. Receptionist accused that damage wasn't there on my arrival when my partner and clearly saw it walking in. Not our fault if it cleaner didn't see it. Was very taken back when receptionist went straight accusing instead of asking questions. Rainbow beach is lovely but will choose somewhere else to stay next time.
Great view. Distance from shops etc meant you had to drive to them
The property was large, modern and just a 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk into Rainbow Beach. The views were great from the rooms and the pool as small but clean and ideal for a quick dip.
It was just enough away from the Main business hub.
We would return
Great views, spacious and well equipped apartment. Good value. On top of hill, so you can overlook the ocean and it’s only 600 m to the Carlo Sand Blow. We would return.
Liked everything.. disliked nothing.. close to everything in town.
Great place to stay
The apartment was huge, in excellent condition and had lovely views of the ocean right up to Fraser Island. We arrived later than planned but one of our guests arrived separately before us and the manager checked him in for us which was very kind. We stayed here for 2 nights on a work trip but I will definitely return to this property for a holiday!
All good!
Stunning view from the apartment, great location and very clean apartment.
Great location with really spacious apartment. Only issue was the noise at night travels from other guests and there was some noisy late night guests on both nights of our stay.
Beautiful location, great size, comfortable and very well maintained.
Amazing apartment
Amazing apartment, the most spacious and luxurious we have ever stayed at. Beautifully furnished and equipped, everything new and good quality. Lovely view from balcony of Rainbow Beach, and the infinity swimming pool.
Great place
Huge apartment, great views, excellent location for Fraser Island, Carlo's Blow and Rainbow Beach
My husband and I stayed in the Penthouse, unit 14. Absolutely amazing views as soon as you walk in the door and down the hallway. Everything was clean and spotless. It was awesome being able to see the beautiful views of Tin Can Bay, Fraser Island and the beach from the kitchen, lounge and bedroom. The only disappointment was, for a Penthouse appartment and the price, that the kitchen could of had a decent coffee machine instead of a kettle with instant coffee (first world problems, I know😜). The infinity pool has amazing views as well and was very relaxing.
Beautiful property with an amazing view and perched next to a park. The infinity pool is beautiful, a great place to relax after a busy day. Please take the short stroll to Carlos Sand Blow for the sunset.
The view was spectacular! Thanks. We would definitely stay here again.
Amazing view! Beautiful pool with spectacular outlook!!
We absolutely loved the quiet and privacy Magic views.
Mark was great to deal with and the view was amazing.
The view from here was fantastic. Unit layout great. Staff really helpfully. We will be back!!
Really nice place for a romantic getaway, highly recommend !
Had an awesome 2 night stay. The apartment was awesome and the onsite managers very accommodating and just wonderful to deal with. Thank you very much! We will definitely be back.
Relaxation therapy.
Excellent facility. Great location, spectacular views. Fun pool. Ambience encourages relaxation. Will eagerly return.
Very nice unit ,High on hill over looking bush sea
Rainbow beach is off beaten track a great place to stay . We would visit again
Nice apartment
Nice room. Nice pool. Good parking. No real view from unit 8. Much better view from unit 9 where are friends also had unit.
Quality acomodation in a fantastic setting.
What a great complex. Our room had beautiful bush views from the bedroom and lounge room and pool and ocean views from the balcony. Walk down to the horizon pool for a swim and enjoy the seating and bbq at the pool. The units are in a quiet street at the top of the hill and a easy walk to Carlo sand blow to watch the sunset. If keen you can walk to the restaurants down the hill but the friendly taxi service was an easier option. Very comfortable king bed and great bathroom with spa. Full kitchen and large lounge room means plenty of room to stretch out and relax.
Wonderful stay!
What a sublime location for a holiday! Our unit was lower down and so had views of the surrounding bush as well as the sea views that everyone raves about. It is away from the hustle of town and so very relaxing. With regards the rainbow beach area, there was so much to explore especially if you have a 4WD. Highly recommended!!!
Gorgeous views of water
If you want an apartment that is clean, tidy and very spacious then this is what you are looking for. The staff were very friendly and helpful. About a 5 minute walk into town down the hill. Beautiful views from the spacious balcony and lovely breezes. Kitchen was fully equipped and furniture was all new. We stayed in a 1 bedroom King apartment (No 7). Will be back for sure next December.............
The spa was not the clean as it should have been & the bed was not comfy.woke with a sore neck but everything else was ok .
Whale watching from the patio
Amazing view and location. Good service and very spacious well appointed apartment!
Ok but will try somewhere else next time
Positives - Very good view from our room and the gent who checked us in was friendly. Wifi available. Negatives - No door to bathroom, it's open to the apartment. Numerous long dark hairs left on the bed sheets. Television fairly dated. Our stay was 'ok' but we'll book somewhere closer to the shops for our next stay.
Was an amazing stay, even for a short get away. Loved the fact could see the ocean from our room and it was only a short walk to the beach and shops.
excellent views and wonderful staff
the room was generous in space, facilities were great and the view was excellent. Staff were so lovely.
Place to relax away from it all
If you want a place to relax and have some time away from it all, this place is great. It is a bit of a way from the Main Street but if you are keen for a walk the trail in front of the hotel is great and it is also a shot walk from the sand blow which was a nice surprise. Only complaint was the couch-quite uncomfortable and in need of a good clean. Infinity edge pool was lovely. Small complex was not crowded at all when we were there.
Peaceful retreat
Quiet, secluded, sensational view of Inskip Point from the upper apartments. Walk to the beach and shops (if you don't mind hills :) ). Welcoming owner. We'll be back!
Omg amazing!!
What can I say, this apartment took my breath away! Easy, breezy, beautiful!! Loved that I could see the view from the master bedroom, too! Top notch - book it now!!
Amazing views and nice place
Staff were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about local area. Rooms have amazing views of the Fraser coast and a lovely quick walk to the sand dune. Room/apt was nice, large, clean and comfortable. We wish we could have stayed longer.
Simply brilliant
Room, facilities, pool, location, staff all simply brilliant. A must stay for everyone visiting rainbow beach.
Great views
Stayed in a 3-bedroom apartment with fantastic ocean views. The kitchen was very well appointed and the bathrooms/bedrooms had plenty of towels. Great layout of the apartments ensured a high level of privacy without compromising the view, even when you are on the balcony. Great place to stay in Rainbow, highly recommended.
Great getaway.
Our stay was enjoyable from beginning to end. This is a great apartment in a great location.
great view from penthouse
very quite very peaceful well equipped very comfortable fantastic over rainbow beach to Fraser Isle.
Fantastic
The room was excellent and the views were just fantastic. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. We would love to go back soon, with the kids.
Brilliant (King) room with an incredible view!
King room was awesome, as soon as we walked in we loved it. The view was amazing, and the room felt luxurious without being over the top. Really made the holiday great. And Rainbow beach is soooooo good, we had the best time. Loved it! :-)
Great views
We just completed a 3 night stay and would highly recommend Rainbow Ocean Palms Resort. It's away from the busy main street and the views are breathtaking. The property is well maintained and modern. We will be back.
Amazing unit complex.
Small and quiet complex with stunning views. Sitting on the balcony watching whales play is very special. Very well appointed and comfortable quality furnishings. We were so lucky to get upgraded to the top floor but all apartments appear to have ocean views. Will definitely return to this complex for a little luxury.
Quiet stay
Quiet stay and closest to the Great Walk and Carlo blow tracks.
Brilliant view, immaculately clean & well-appointed apartment
Real Getaway
Great outlook and spacious apartment with all the mod cons. Only drawback was school holidays with some noisy children at the pool and in rooms. Will return when not school holidays.
quiet area fantastic view
STAFF very friendly . unit very clean with loads of space all amenities available. Numerous places to eat out within 500mtrs.
Great management staff. Recommended restaurants which were excellent yet value for money. Could probably do with non-slip nosings on all stairs as these were very slippery if wet.
Great Hotel, beautiful location!
Superior accommodation, clean, spacious, modern, excellent views across Rainbow Beach, with nice restaurant attached. What more could you need for a quiet weekend break?
Great hotel in rainbow beach
Very good hotel in rainbow beach
Fantastic units with a magical view
We spent a relaxing week at Ocean Palms Resort. Clean, beautifully maintained appartments and grounds and a view to captivate you. Friendly helpful management.
Wow - one of the best places I've stayed in Oz
My husband and I visited for our babymoon. We stayed in apartment 5 and the view was just incredible. The apartment was clean and modern and you can even watch the whales while having a spa bath. The apartment is really well setup and the little extras like dishwasher tablet, washing up liquid etc. made it really easy on arrival (e.g. we didn't have to go straight to shops). There's free internet, movie and sports channels (if you want them) and the swimming pool is lovely. It's one of the nicest places we've stayed in Australia and we've travelled around NSW/QLD/VIC/WA/NT for 3 months last year so stayed in quite a few places.
honeymoon
we had the best six days away from the city , it was almost impossible to leave !!!! great cross between bush and beach
Rainbow Beach
Lovely place could be slightly cleaner but probably just wear and tear. Very private. Definitely go again.
Short Stay - 2 Nights
We had absolutely perfect sunshine and the apartment had fabulous views. Close to sand bluff so amazing sunset. Disappointed with the service - probably won't stay again because of it.
Rainbow Retreat
Stunning views not only from the apartment but from our bed! The complex is in a perfect location, on top of the hill, for awesome views and away from the noise of the town (but still within easy walking distance). A very relaxing weekend away from the bright lights, big city in the beautiful town of Rainbow Beach. The apartment is mins walk from Carlo Sandblow, take an afternoon adventure walk up there and stick around to watch the sun set across the ocean, great views. The Waterview Restaurant, which is within the Ocean Palms complex, is a most visit. Scrumptious food and extremely friendly and helpful staff. Make sure you try one of their amazing cocktails!
Stunning ocean views. This hotel has is all.
If you're looking for comfort, relaxation and beautiful scenery- look no further! This hotel has it all! Great for families, groups and romantic getaways for 2! Whatever your occasion.. Morning sun shines right onto the massive king sized bed and with no neighbours (other than nature) it's the perfect place to lay naked and work on those tan lines! Lovely restaurant right next door with beautiful al a carte menu- plus you can easily work it all off with a nice bushwalk so conveniently located at the top of the street. Easy 10 minute walk to the beach and other restaurants and shops!

The views are breath taking. Watching a storm rolling in and seeing lightning through the clouds was amazing. Close proximity to the sand dunes for a picnic at sunset was ideal.
