Domain Cotton Beach

Overview

Domain Cotton Beach is a brand new three storey beachfront property consisting of two and three bedroom apartments at Casuarina in Northern NSW, Australia.

Each apartment at Domain Cotton Beach has a fully equipped kitchen with European appliances, open plan living areas and an open air balcony or terrace. Some of the ground floor apartments feature a private plunge pool, and some of the top floor apartments have their own private rooftop terrace with ocean views.

Domain Cotton Beach is set amongst landscaped tropical gardens and includes a lap pool, lagoon style pool, sauna and gymnasium. It is an easy stroll over the boardwalk and through a natural reserve to the beautiful white sand beach.

Domain Cotton Beach is perfect for families or couples for a week or a weekend away, and is conveniently located only 15 minutes drive south of Gold Coast (Coolangatta) Airport, and 30 minutes drive north of beautiful Byron Bay.

Visitor Review

Following a hiccup with some alternative accommodation at Kingscliff, we changed locations to stay at Cotton Beach. The personal assistance we received from the Reservations Manager in this process was second-to-none (and this was late on a Sunday). Be aware that check-in is not located at the Cotton Beach property, but in a central location nearby via a short drive so not really a problem. The property itself is amazing. If you can afford to splurge, take the 3Bdrm Penthouse. We stayed in a top floor Penthouse. The kids (including young teens) loved the media room, everyone loved the pool area, and it was easy to find breezy spots on the decks and rooftop to eat and play boardgames together. The two ensuite main bedrooms (1 King and 1 Queen) were luxuriously appointed as was the kitchen. Indeed, this is the only apartment we have never felt the need to wash the crockery and cutlery before using it! The oceanviews and birdlife viewing from apartment were an unexpected bonus. The beach was a short walk and not for a long time have we seen a beach as pristine as Casuarina. There was a patrolled beach in walking distance but we were very happy to swim in the lagoon pool in the complex. The property itself is impeccably maintained with beautiful gardens and shady walkways. We spotted the maintenance crew at work but they were very discrete and in fact, most of the time, we felt quite secluded in the accommodation. The underground parking was very convenient to our apartment via lift and the entire complex is very well-secured. Try to arrange a late checkout to enjoy a leisurely departure and final swim before leaving, and be sure to plan and take your food supplies if self-catering to save a drive to find a convenience store. Not really a problem but the time is better spent relaxing than grocery shopping.

Had a wonderful stay at Cotton Beach. The apartments are beautiful and the pools are fantastic. It's so close to the beach and the whole family had a wonderful stay. Will definitely be back in the future. A great place to get away from it all and Casuarina is so relaxing and different compared to the Gold Coast which is why we love it.
