What I liked: we were on the 3rd floor, and the apartment had full length windows on two sides, so the views over the city were amazing, particularly at night when the city lights up. It was very spacious and new-looking, fully equipped; king bed; smart TV that you could pair your headphones with to avoid disturbing others; TV in the bedroom as well as in the main area; the ensuite had a real door (I have a pet hate for sliding bathroom doors – so noisy!) had a large shower with hand-held shower head with good water pressure; secure car-parking underneath. Not only did it have a dining table and chairs inside, but the balcony had a large table and more chairs. Location is just great, an Italian restaurant on the doorstep, Thai to the right, café/pub bar to the left, all within 5 minutes. And just round the corner still within walking distance is Ocean Street, which has many many restaurants to choose from. Traffic noise during the day, but not a problem at night as Maroochydore does not have much night traffic. Not so good: the ensuite had no hooks to hang anything; no shower caddy so your shampoo, soap etc had to be put on the floor; the towel rails were inadequate for more than one towel. A safety rail in the shower recess would have been appreciated. Only two pillows on the bed plus cushions, extra pillows would have been better, I never see the point of cushions on the bed.
We had a room about level 7 with an uninterrupted 180 degree Ocean view. We could see the ships on the horizon, up to 10 at a time, coming and going. A set of binoculars would have provided better identification, so take some with you. Closer up the beach and waves with locals seemed a popluar place to be. There was a good walk along the path north with some interesting spots and not too far from Sunshine Plaza, the big shopping centre in Marrochydore. The 2 bedroom apartment was great, plenty of self catering utensils and equipment if needed, we had a good time for the 5 days/nights..
We stayed at Verve for 10 nights from 27 December 2021 to early Jan 2022. Unfortunately, it rained almost every day except for 2 days. We were on the 6th floor (603) great views, large apartment with everything we needed except the Sun! This would be a great place without the rain, you can walk to Ginger Tiger Japanese, BYO, Sang's, BYO and Hathi Indian, BYO at Alexander Headland, you can catch the bus to Moom, which is BYO at Mooloabah. The only other disappointing thing about Maroochydore is that everything closes on a public holiday is you have no where to go locally! I got to the beach for a swim once!
Our visit to M1 Maroochydore was fantastic and extremely accommodating by the manager. Nothing was a problem regarding access to pool towels and extra ammenities for our apartment, ie washing powder and extra dish wash powder. Our apartment was impressive with a split level aspect with high ceilings overlooking a canal and walkway. This Modern apartment had a wonderful covered huge deck with outdoor furniture. We loved having our 5pm drinks outside listening to the birds in the trees. 10 minutes to the Sunshine Plaza and dining, plus 5min to Ocean street dining. We stayed 6 nights and throughly enjoyed what Maroochydore had to offer.
We were blown away as soon as we arrived. Such a beautiful retreat. From the moment we arrived till the time we left, it really was special. Phil & Merryl have thought of everything. Bed was comfortable as were the pillows. Lots of beautiful touches in the room not to mention around the house. We wish we had stayed longer. Breakfast was exceptional as was the service. Definitely will be back. Thank you for such an enjoyable stay.
