Really clean place - almost the highlight of our trip from NSW. Great property. Easy access, friendly front desk, parking on street. Well stocked kitchen items..
This is our third stay at these apartments, and they’re always amazing! Everything is clean and comfortable, the staff are so lovely, and you get beautiful afternoon sunsets. They’re also close to the shops and the beach. We honestly can’t fault the place and will definitely be back! ❤️
I always stay at Lowanna on the Sunshine Coast - it’s incredibly convenient to the beach and shopping, and the property is well serviced with comfortable rooms.
Excellent location at the back of the Kawana shopping centre with supermarkets or the other direction it’s 2 blocks from the beach with a Life Saving club. Also central on the Sunshine Coast.
The apartment was spacious clean and well appointed and a small maintenance issue was fixed that day. The underground car spaces are very tight.
This property is ideally situated....short walk to the surf club and beach with a great shopping mall opposite..👍

We had an excellent stay. The room was very clean, smelt amazing, and the beds were super comfortable. The location was perfect close to the shops and everything we needed. Would happily stay here again
Check in was fast and professional. Parking under ground was explained well. The room was immaculate and cleaned over my expectations. All appliances were new and in exceptional condition. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very quiet. I stayed on the 7th floor and the lifts were very fast. 2 mins walk to the major shopping centre for all your needs. 5 min walk to the beach. No complaints at all, highly recommended. I will stay again for sure.

Room was clean and the 2 bedroom apartment was spacious.
Really nice mexican restaurant named VIDA
We would stay again.
This was by far the cleanest most beautiful apartment that we have ever stayed in and we travel for work and leisure a lot. The staff communication was beyond excellent. There was a shopping centre within arms reach and plenty of places for take out or eat in . I would highly recommend this property.

Our third stay here…love the close proximity to patrolled beach, closeness of shops.
Our check-in/out seamless and staff welcoming friendly and helpful..
My apartement was very clean and in a excellent condition. It was very quiet during my stay. The mattress was very comfortable and I usually always have back pain. The bathroom was a good size and beautiful. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The balcony was a lovely size. I was very happy with the staff - they were extremely friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The "Lowanna Beach Resort" is very close to the beach and the shopping centre is directly opposite. There is nothing to complain about; on the contrary, it was simply lovely and I'll definitely be back!
