Why it's worth checking out
Sanctuary Lake Apartments offers self-contained holiday accommodation in Currumbin, on the Southern Gold Coast, with a setting that combines tropical gardens and easy access to local attractions. The property has spacious, smoke-free two- and three-bedroom apartments, making it a practical base for families and groups who want more room than a traditional hotel room.
Each apartment is designed for a relaxed, independent stay, with a private balcony and a kitchen set up for preparing meals. Air-conditioned two- and three-bedroom options are available, while the resort’s saltwater pool and sundeck provide space to swim, unwind or spend time outdoors without leaving the property. The garden setting adds a quieter feel, with guest reviews describing the grounds and pool areas as clean, well maintained and family friendly.
Location is one of the main reasons to choose Sanctuary Lake Apartments. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is immediately next door, or around a two-minute walk according to the property’s local guide, making it easy to plan a wildlife-focused day without a long drive. Currumbin Beach is about a five-minute stroll away, and nearby options include Currumbin Tree Top Challenge, Currumbin Alley Surf School and Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Life Saving Club. Families can also reach local parks, while Currumbin Rock Pools and Cougal Cascades are options for a longer outing into the valley.
The surrounding area supports a mix of relaxed and active holidays. Guests can walk to The Salt Mill café, take a surf lesson, visit the wildlife sanctuary or use the apartment as a base for exploring the Gold Coast. The accommodation particularly suits families with children and larger groups who value separate bedrooms, kitchen facilities and access to a pool. Guest feedback also highlights the helpful service, with several reviewers mentioning Edward’s assistance during their stays. Sanctuary Lake Apartments currently holds a 4.4 Google rating from 187 reviews.
