New property, handy for shopping centres and beach. Bed comfy. Staff very accommodating for us with my wife in wheelchair. Ambulant room worked well. Only comment, two chairs instead of one would be great to sit at the bench for eating meals.

Room was very clean, property was very clean.
Bed was comfy. Light came through top of curtains all night due to style of curtains. It was like a row of led lights along ceiling above the curtains. Shower great, had enough kitchen items for a short stay. Short walk to beach and shopping centre. Kawana Beach was beautiful it was so close by and that’s what we came for

What a fantastic find! We booked for an overnight stay on our travels and was sad to leave, the room was clean and well presented. The amenities were great, albeit the pool was very cold due to lack of sun on it. The Mexican restaurant, Vida, was awesome. Very much enjoyed our stay and have saved the details for future trips. Thank you!

Perfect location for a family getaway. The mall is directly across the road and has a great variety of shops and food options; the beach is a short walk away and there is green space for soccer practice. Plus it’s directly next door to the spa/steam/cold plunge at Core Revival.

A "resort" without the corresponding facilities seems was an odd experience. There was a time when the word Resort meant you were stepping into a beautiful place built on a large area with beautiful gardens, pools, spa, gym, massage and beauty therapies, restaurants and bars.
This is not the case at Lowanna "resort". The studio room is small and pokey. Certainly not worth the rate per night.
The windows open, which would be great however there are no screens to stop insects, mosquitoes entering the room.
To have parking you must "upgrade" something else that a "resort" would not have as its policy.If you do not upgrade you park on the street.
The rooms are not serviced daily nor are you offered fresh towels. This is not mentioned in the property description or at check in.
There is a shopping centre behind the "resort"
