I travelled to the Golden Sands Resort while on military leave from Afghanistan. I researched and found the establishment online. The words escape me how to describe just how good this vacation spot and accomodation proved to be. A first-rate beachfront apartment that was spacious, comfortable, clean, and located perfectly for a fantastic vacation in Queensland. Yorkey's Knob beach is... more

Stayed here for 5 nights during September. Nice and convenient to all our tours with great advice and assistance from Brian and Qi. For a 1 bedroom apartment they are really spacious, clean and have everything you need to be self sufficient. Really quiet spot with a lovely beach which is long enough for a jog before breakfast.

We booked Golden Sands as a chill out time at the beginning of our tour of Australia. We were not disappointed.

The appartment offered everything we needed and... more

They helped us rent a car (which you need staying here) and recommended Reef Magic for our Great Barrier Reef trip. We had a... more

After reading the reviews, I was a bit disappointed. In general, we have found trip advisor to be extremely accurate, except for this time. The hosts (Brain & Qi Qi) are indeed very helpful, nice and know the attraction around very well. They gave us very good information and every time we followed their advice, we were pleased. The hotel... more

We spent 5 days in late May at Golden Sands based on Trip Advisor reviews. Our large, clean 1-bedroom third floor apartment had full sliding glass doors opening from the living room and bedroom onto a large balcony overlooking the pool/gardens.
