The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Fantastic Kitchen Facilities

I loved the kitchen in our studio apartment-it was well equipped with everything we needed to self-cater during our stay. Cooking felt like a breeze and made our experience much more enjoyable! The spacious layout and ample storage made it easy to prepare meals and snacks, which we appreciated. Highly recommend this feature for anyone looking to save on dining out.

Excellent Bathroom Amenities

The bathroom in my unit was a highlight of my stay. It was spacious, and I especially loved the great shower that had excellent water pressure. Having a power point near the sink was also very convenient for all my grooming needs. I felt refreshed every time I stepped out of the shower!

Secure Parking Convenience

I really appreciated the secure parking available at Moorings Beach Resort. It gave me peace of mind knowing my vehicle was safe and easily accessible. The parking was also spacious, making it easy to maneuver in and out, which is valuable after a long day at the beach!

Lovely Pool Area

The pool area at the resort was a fantastic place to relax. It was a good size and well-kept, surrounded by comfortable lounges and chairs. I spent many pleasant afternoons soaking up the sun and enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. The shaded areas were perfect for escaping the heat, too. It truly added to my relaxation experience at Moorings!

I was really impressed with my first stay at Moorings Golden Beach. The spacious three-bedroom unit was a highlight, giving our family plenty of room to relax and enjoy our vacation. Access to the beach was super convenient, just a few steps away. The cafe onsite made for a nice spot to grab a coffee. However, I wish the dining options offered more variety. Overall, it's a fantastic spot and I can't wait to return for Christmas!

Our stay at Moorings Golden Beach was truly wonderful! The biggest highlight was the spacious three-bedroom unit that allowed us to have direct access to the beach. The views were absolutely breathtaking, making it a perfect spot for our family getaway. The manager, Rebecca, and her partner Warren were incredibly helpful and contributed to a welcoming atmosphere. Though we loved nearly everything, it would have been nice if the dining options were a bit more varied. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we've already booked our return for Christmas!
