Frequently asked

Everything you need to know before you book and arrive. Can't find your answer? We're a call or message away.

Booking
Why should I book direct with wowstay?

Booking direct means our best rate with no OTA fees, plus exclusive offers and a real local team looking after your stay — not a faceless call centre.

Do you charge booking fees?

Never when you book direct with us. You'll always get our best available rate on bookings made through wowstay.

How do I get the best price?

Book through our booking engine at book.wowstay.com.au — direct rates are guaranteed to beat the apps.

Arrival & check-in
What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 3pm and check-out by 10am. With 24/7 self check-in via our storefront or KeySpot lockboxes, you can arrive any hour — just let us know your plans.

Where do I check in?

At our Surfers Paradise storefront, 9 Ferny Avenue — or via a secure KeySpot lockbox if you're arriving after hours. We'll send full details before you travel.

Is parking available?

Most apartments include one secure on-site car space — check the apartment's listing or ask us before booking.

Your stay
Are the apartments self-contained?

Every one. Full kitchens, laundries and proper living space — they're real homes away from home, not hotel rooms.

What facilities are at the resorts?

It varies by building, but expect pools, spas, gyms and more — Circle on Cavill, Chevron Renaissance, Sierra Grand and Q Tower each have their own resort facilities.

Can I bring my dog?

Pets aren't permitted in our apartments (assistance animals as required by law are always welcome — let us know before you arrive).

Payments & changes
How do I pay?

Securely through our booking engine at the time of reservation. If you have questions about payment, just get in touch.

Can I change or cancel my booking?

Up to 30 days before arrival you can cancel a direct booking free of charge, or ask us to change your dates — subject to availability, and the rates for the new dates apply. From 30 days before arrival the booking is final: no refunds or date changes. Booking.com, Airbnb and Expedia bookings follow that site's terms while free cancellation is available. We strongly recommend travel insurance.

Our team is here 365 days a year — call, email or pop in.
