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!
