“We spent 6 wonderful nights at the Element in Coolum. A larger coastal town with ample coffee shops, eateries and services, the Element is located in the middle of it all, a few minutes walk to the patrolled beach, surf club and retail stores. Staff are amazingly friendly and accommodating and made our stay from check-in to exit a very positive experience. Would highly recommend !”

“I have just had another amazing stay at Element Coolum. The apartments I have stayed in are always beautifully presented - clean, modern, spacious and very well equipped (proper holiday-apartment setup, not the bare minimum that you get elsewhere). Everything feels easy, with secure parking onsite. The pool area is fantastic, and the location is perfect: you can walk to the beach, and there are loads of restaurants, cafes and shops in minutes. The staff here all go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Highly recommended!”

“We had a wonderful 5-night stay in a three-bedroom apartment at Element on Coolum Beach. The location was perfect — just an easy walking distance to the beach, which made our daily trips so convenient and relaxing. There are plenty of great cafés, restaurants, and food options within walking distance, so we barely needed to drive. The parking was also excellent — secure, easy to access, and very convenient throughout our stay. The apartment was spotless, spacious, and very well maintained. It was impressively quiet, which made it ideal for a peaceful getaway. Check-in was smooth and effortless, and the management team was responsive and helpful whenever we needed anything. Overall, a fantastic stay and we would absolutely return. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking for a relaxing beach escape.”

“Such a positive, seam free experience at Element on Coolum Beach. From ease of booking direct through the hotel with the best deal, to the simplicity of after hours check in and check out. My beautiful clean apartment had everything you could think of. Washing facilities, Dyson stick vac, coffee pods and premium T2 teas, anything you need for entertaining such as serving platters, salt and pepper, glad wrap, beautiful premium shampoo and conditioner, tv’s with streaming abilities and ability to login to Netflix, block out curtains, two big beautiful patios and great security. The location is right in the middle of everything you need in Coolum. The communication via phone and text from staff were wonderful, always offering to reach out if I needed extra consumables etc. Highly recommend and will stay again.”

“Well equipped and clean apartment. Fantastic location. Great security. Only negative is that we would have liked more towels. Two bath towels, one bath mat and only one hand towel available.”

“I’ve been lucky enough to just finish staying at Elements for the second time in 12 months and I’d highly recommend The team are fabulous with great communication The self contained apartments are perfect for families and people wanting their own space. They are very spacious and clean. Great location with the supermarket a short walk away, beach across the road and plenty of cafes and other shops within walking distance. Thank you so much Kate and her team for having us again. We will definitely be back”
