We had a lovely time our apartment was comfortable and clean nice surprise to have our own pool just a shame the weather wasn’t accommodating. Will definitely book again when we are next that way

Mellesa & Troy Marshall
Beautiful apartment with ocean views, especially from the roof top! Lovely and quiet, 5min walk to the beach, not too mention the local coffee shop! Check in, check out nice and simple too! We’ll definitely be back!!
Gemma Cross
We had an absolutely amazing time! We stayed in room 1 for 5 nights and there is only one thing we could fault about our stay (The couches) While we were there we decided to follow along with the Covid restrictions at the time (mask up when leaving the property, only going to the shops for essentials) but the stay was still perfect!!! We were so happy spending our entire days there. Private pool meant we could swim any time we wanted without coming into contact with others!!!! The apartment was clean on arrival. Beds comfortable. Would love to become regulars here. Apartment 1 was perfect.
Peter Starie
I can sum it up in one word ‘Perfection’
Don Adams
We have stayed at White Shells several times before.
The area of Seaside village has its own charm with its buildings and public areas.
It is a quite area and the views of Mt Coolum and the closeness to the beach are great attractions.
Both apartment and the pool were excellent.
Michael Nicholls
Our stay was awesome, uncomplicated and extremely relaxing. Situated on some of the most gorgeous coast line sunshine has on offer.
Catherine Watson
I absolutely loved my stay at White Shells. Every convenience was thought of, from kitchen appliances to beach towels – even your own private car space!! It was so quite and peaceful – just the break I needed. The rooftop pool was beautiful and our private spa magnificent. I would recommend this place to all.
Suzy Jarvis
First time staying at Marcoola & what a gem White Shell Luxury Apartments is. So glad we found it. Doug the manager was most accommodating with any question or request we had. The apartment that we were given (20) was huge, we spent most days just sitting out on the big patio & many hours in our very own heated pool. The furnishings were modern & beautiful. Loved the double door fridge which gave us endless cold water & ice. The cool boardwalk just across the road took you to the beautiful Marcoola Beach or a short stroll south to the Marcoola Surf Club. It was a perfect, relaxing long weekend. We all kept saying to each other that we didn’t want to go home & wished we could stay forever. Many thanks Doug for an amazing stay at White Shells. We will be back!
Daniel Tubman
I was looking for accomodation that had a private pool and White Shells turned out to be everything I wanted. The private pool, large apartment, full amenities, location to the beach and quite neighbourhood meant that this stay was perfect. We will definitely be returning and making White Shells a regular getaway trip.
Jordan Miller
It was a dream thank you so much i forgot my house keys and Doug sent it to me it was very nice of him have a great week guys u will see us again with friends
Susan Stewart
Lovely accommodation in a quiet location with beautiful views and an easy stroll to the beach. The roof top spa was a bonus and thoroughly enjoyed.
Jill Thomas
The apartment was immaculate 10 out of 10 and the gentleman in reception was amazing. We had the best weekend… definitely will be back and highly recommend the hotel and the pool and spa on the roof
Rebecca Stanley
Easy check in. Very helpful Management. Everything we needed to make our stay relaxing and comfortable. So close to the beach. Spacious apartments. Beautiful communal pool/spa areas plus fantastic having access to our own private courtyard with spa.
Duane & Dale Bergman
Beautiful … we will be re-booking again this week for a longer stay. Have recommended White Shells to a number of people. This will be our holiday destination from now on.
Darryl and Jodie Wilkie
We stayed in October 2019 after falling over with an initial booking at another location. Shout out to Doug who bent over backwards to help us and make it as comfortable and relaxed as possible. The private rooftop spa was superb and quite often we were the only ones up there. The rooms were large and roomy but as a point of note, all rooms are individually owned and so some rooms may be better appointed than others. Ours was on level 2 and a little dated but we had previously seen one on level 1 which was in far better condition. We were told the owners were the next occupants so likely the dated items will likely be changed. We thoroughly recommend White Shells apartments for your next holiday as we had an awesome 4 days there.
Cindy Douran
The accommodation, facilities and location were fantastic. The unit was spacious, clean and the plunge pool was a bonus!
John Britton
Great location with easy access to all facilities including underground parking plus a wide selection of rooms including own pool or spa and all with BBQ’S. Very clean and tidy and the resident manager Doug can assist you with any questions. We have stayed at White Shells on multiple occasions and always had a great time and enjoyable stay.

Perfection!
What a beautiful location! We had everything we needed right on our doorstep but without the crowds! Would definitely go back. Middle of winter and we were still able to use all the facilities such as the heated plunge pool and the walks on the beach just finished our days off perfectly. Didn’t want to leave!

Daniel O’Connor
I just wanted to pass on our appreciation of the great apartments you have there.
My wife, kids and I stayed there over the labor day long weekend. This was our 3rd stay at White Shells over the last 3 or 4 years and each time we are so happy with the quality of the location, quality of the apartment and the overall cleanliness. We don’t get away that often since we have had kids and it is nice that when we do get a chance, that we have found a place we know will be great upon arrival.
So, credit where credit is due! great place to stay.
Rachel Jack
The room and decor was fantastic. Managers friendly and accommodating. The apartment only needed a television in the main bedroom.
Hilton Ayrey
The only thing I would suggest is maybe a mat on the inside of foyer – especially when wet to wipe feet down. Other than that – paradise.
Linda Ridley
Really helpful host. Gave us all info we required at check in shops, bars, restaurants etc…. He was really helpful
Angelo Pregliasco
Love this place. Have been coming here yearly for last 5 years and intend on continuity to do so! Such an amazing quiet hidden retreat.

Thank you!!! We enjoyed our stay here very much. The reception staff member was exceptionally friendly & helpful. Only thing – pillows weren’t the best!
Asha Asawa
Positives. Privacy is superb. The spa on the roof fantastic after a round of golf. Has everything one needs to have a home away from home. Lots of space. Just one thing if we stay over 2 nights towels & toiletries should be topped up. A box of tissues a must.
Kristy Porter
My kids had an awesome time in their own pool. My 8 year old asked if we could stay an extra week.
David Nichols
Great rooms & view. Foxtel unfortunately not working. No hand soap in bathrooms
Frank D’Agostino

Nick Hopley
Doug is incredibly accommodating. Units are perfect. 2nd time here, many more to come.
Dave Peel
Excellent value for our family and a great stay. What would make it better? More WiFi without having to log in everyday. Better Choice on TV, as an international traveler keeping abreast of news is important – very limited choice. That said this break was about family and talking rather than watching.
Tracey Andrews
Beautiful views of Mount Coolum
Henri Schumacher
Wonderful stay – rooftop pool definitely a plus
Jasmine Mead
We had an absolutely wonderful stay, the rooms were excellent & beautifully clean and spacious. The only comment we really had was that it would be really great if there were available for the colder nights a couple of extra blankets.
