“Excellsior Apartments enjoys a superb location near Mooloolaba Beach and SEA LIFE; its well-maintained barbeque area and rooftop apartments appeal to families and couples. I think the spacious, self-contained apartments are ideal for longer stays, especially given the full kitchens and laundry facilities. It's a solid choice, particularly if access to dining and the waterfront are priorities.”
