Walk to the beach
Towel, sunscreen, done. Our Surfers Paradise apartments are a short stroll to the sand, so Christmas morning starts with a swim, not a car park.

Can I cancel if plans change?
Selected stays include free cancellation up to a cut-off date. You'll see the free-cancellation flag on the apartment page once you've picked your dates, with the exact terms shown before you pay.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is by 10am. Need a late check-out? Ask us — over Christmas it depends on the next arrival, but we'll always try.
How does self check-in work?
Every wowstay apartment — including Chevron Renaissance, Q Tower and Sierra Grand — uses a KeySpot lockbox at Circle on Cavill, 9 Ferny Avenue, Surfers Paradise. We send you the code and directions before you arrive, so you can check in 24/7 — even at midnight on Christmas Eve. Broadbeach guests, allow a short detour into Surfers first.
