    Nearest luxury accommodation to both Burleigh beach and James Street shops. Hotel is clean, well kept, secure and the rooms are well appointed. Hotel managers are knowledgeable, well versed and friendly. Recommend for families as the ultimate destination for any stay in Burleigh. We have stayed multiple times and never been disappointed.

    We stayed recently at Ambience for 3 nights a short get away, we love the location which is across the road from the beach, walking distance to cafes and restaurants. The communication was exceptional and as we arrived after hours there was no hassles checking in - would highly recommend staying here.

    Our overall stay was excellent. Clean spacious room, however, an ocean view would have been appreciated. Central to nearly everything. Comfy bed. Nice shower. Great kitchen, if choosing to eat in.

    Location is perfect, right on the beach and short stroll to all shops/cafes. Rooms are excellent, very spacious and modern. Spa, sauna a gym facilities great as well. We had a lovely stay, will stay at Ambience again.

    Would avoid this place. We paid $800 a night for a two bedroom ‘Ocean View’ apartment after seeing the pictures online. See the photos attached for yourself…the only time you could see the ocean was when you stood on your tip toes. The balcony was dark with a concrete pillar in the middle blocking any view when you sit down. When we asked the concierge (David?) if there were any other apartments available as we were a bit disappointed with the the view (understandably srsly see for yourself!) he exploded at my mum shouting ‘I’m sick of women like you! ‘ He ranted and raved about women and how sick of us he was all the way to the elevator. Big yikes

    Loved staying here. Our apartment was spacious was extremely clean and the managers were very helpful. The location was excellent as well with great access to the beach, public transport, cafes and walking tracks. I am certainly coming back. Thank you

    Ambience Apartments in Burliegh Heads are centrally located in the middle of Burleigh Heads with a hotel / bar located underneath and in front of the apartment complex. The beach is directly opposite with all the local shops a very short stroll away. Ambience apartments are a beautiful set of apartments with helpful reception staff. You will not need a car unless you plan to do day trips away from Burleigh heads, but there are day tours available for purchase. The only and a big negative is that it is very noisy due to patrons at / leaving the hotel in the early hours of the morning and because the Gold Coast hwy is right next to the apartement complex. We were usually woken by loud music / noise late in the night when noisy patrons were leaving the hotel or heavy traffic was travelling on the adjacent busy highway.

    The accommodation was in a great location. Close to eateries and shopping The swimming pools was lovely but the BBQ was terrible to cook on. We had 2 units (@ & # Bedrooms). the washing machines in both were not the best. The crockery was passable but not great. Most utensils were OK. The dining room chairs in the 3 bed unit were far too heavy and not practicable for holiday units

    The Ambience on Burleigh is located right in the heart of Burleigh. Everything is at your doorstep. The building is nice and modern. One issue is the noise from traffic if you are on the highway side. Aso the shower leakes profusely on to the floor. There is good car parking facilities with a lift to take you to your floor.

    We thought the layout and size of apartment was great, unfortunately the Thur, Fri , Sat , Sun nights was extremely noisy until 1- 1.30 am with traffic, revved up cars and motor bikes revving at lights so un necessary. Police sirens and a fight across the road from patrons leaving the pink monkey bar. 2 Police paddy wagons, 4 police cars and a very large group of young ones booing loudly at the police . They dispersed all over the road causing havoc with drivers. I feel a little too close to the Highway and bars. I'm surprised they can operate that late and the kebab shop had them all hanging in big groups on footpath. It was still open at 2am.

    What an amazing location - walking distance to beach and shops. The 1 bedroom apartment we stayed in was really big with a huge balcony. Awesome pool and amenities. Highly recommend - will be back!

  • 5/5 Vicki N. 6 months ago on Google
    I've just enjoyed a fabulous holiday at Ambience, a great place to stay. My apartment on the 7th floor was very well appointed and a good layout. I felt it was the best of the three apartments we accommodated. The staff are absolutely fantastic in every way, they couldn't have been more helpful with the use of the amenities and the local area. I will certainly return and book the same apartment.

  • 5/5 Teagan C. 5 months ago on Google
    I booked a stay at the Ambience Apartments in Burleigh for my friends birthday and it was way above my expectations. Everything was clean, tidy and the apartment had everything you need. The location was perfect, right across from the beach and around the corner from James Street and really awesome local cafes and restaurants. The most beautiful thing was THE VIEW! Waking up to the most beautiful sunrise every morning was amazing. I would recommend this stay to anyone!

  • 5/5 Glenn & Kris R. 5 months ago on Google
    From booking to leaving our apartment it was a very pleasant experience. We arrived out of hours and emails of how to find the apartment to parking our car was very easy and straightforward. We had a lovely spacious apartment overlooking the beach, it was very clean, quiet within the building, and had everything we needed and was well appointed. Staff were very friendly. We would definitely stay at Ambience on Burleigh again.

  • 5/5 mark g. 4 months ago on Google
    Another wonderful stay at Ambience. Our favourite and only choice when in Burleigh - so clean and personal - its like staying at a friends apartment. We have stayed in various apartments and have our favourites - but they are all of exceptional standard. And walking distance to everything. Anne the new manager is lovely.

  • 5/5 Jessica S. 5 months ago on Google
    We enjoyed our stay at Ambience on the sixth floor. Spacious apartment with everything I needed to cook meals as well as washing/drying facilities. Wifi was great and staff friendly on check in. Clear correspondence in letters explaining check-in and check out.

  • 4/5 Noel W. 1 year ago on Google
    We had two apartments as we have each year for about a decade. While the apartments themselves it was quite disappointing that the oven in one of them did not work so our daughters were not able to cook much for their families. We raised it with the management (not sure how they didn't know) and were told there wasn't much they could do as it needed to be replaced. We asked for some sort of refund and were told it would happen but to date we have not heard anything further. Given the amount we paid for the two apartments (around $15k) we expected better

  • 5/5 Elizabeth C. 1 year ago on Google
    It was an enjoyable stay. Central location, modern, clean and tidy, very comfortable beds/pillows, lovely and helpful staff. On the downside, very loud noise for 2 nights required sleeping with air conditioning so we missed out on sleeping with fresh sea air and pleasant ocean sounds, gym should open earlier than 7 am as it is fully enclosed and away from apartments.

  • 5/5 Andrew van B. 1 year ago on Google
    Burleigh is my “2nd Home” and I have stayed at Ambience many times. Great location, great on site (free) parking, great facilities.

  • 5/5 Graeme P. 1 year ago on Google
    We had 4 days of Burleigh Bliss with a special stay at Ambience with our little family, visiting from London. Friendly helpful service, as always, from the front desk people - ready to answer our questions and advise and recommend local items.

  • 5/5 Natasha W. 1 year ago on Google
    We would definitely recommend. 2 bedroom apartment is so lovely - lots of room and perfect for 2 couples with more than adequate space. Great views, great location. will be back.

  • 5/5 Marina S. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a lovely stay. Room extemely clean and had a very relaxing vibe which was enjoyable after a long days work. Staff are friendly and helpful. Burleigh is beautiful and would strongly recommend to stay either for Business or pleasure

  • 4/5 Quinton W. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the third time staying at Ambience over a three year period. The cleanliness of the apartment has been maintained and the staff are always friendly. It is centrally located within walking distance of the shops and restaurants and across the road from the beach. A regular and efficient bus service operated in the next street down to Tweed Heads and north to Surfers Paradise and the train to Brisbane.

  • 5/5 Sam B. 1 year ago on Google
    There are very few choices of new and modern apartments in Burleigh, but this is by far the best choice! The location is fantastic, right across from the beach and the shops. Rooms are huge, clean and have good quality furnishings. Cannot fault them. Ocean view is beautiful, although I assume it is better from the tower closer to the beach. Didn't try the pool as it was a bit cold, but it looked beautiful from our balcony.

  • 1/5 Rachel R. 1 year ago on Google
    The hotel mismanaged our booking and then blamed the mistake on us, despite a trail of email evidence. No apology. I don't write negative reviews, but I wouldn't want other visitors to experience the same.

  • 5/5 Mary S. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a beautiful apartment with amazing views. The location was fantastic for exercising, relaxing, shopping and especially eating at wonderful restaurants.

  • 5/5 Bobby H. 1 year ago on Google
    The Ambience on Burleigh was a great place for our family of five to stay. We had booked a three bedroom apartment but the managemnet had upgrade us to a four bedroom apatrment , which had more than enough space for us all. The rooms were spacious with a fully equipped kitchen for all our cooking needs but who needs to cook when there are so many glorious place to eat at your front door step. The family was in and out of the heated pool every day but also enjoyed going to the beach for a swim, which was literally a stone throw from the Ambienece. We enjoyed our stay there and are looking foward to our next visit.

  • 5/5 Chiskins 1 year ago on Google
    Ambience is perfectly located, no need a vehicle to get you around, plenty of restaurants from the extravagant to the casual. Woolworths close by for essentials and if you want to cook in the well appointed kitchen. Parks to keep the kids occupied and a couple of nice walks too. 100% we will be back.

  • 1/5 Terry C. 1 year ago on Google
    My cars paint was damaged by a leaking vent above it and body Corp said it's not covered. I spent a fortune on accommodation there and now have to spend another $1000 to have my cars bonnet resprayed. Not a good finish to a holiday. Rooms air conditioning was barely enough to keep apartments cool. Didn't cool bedroom even following the instructions

  • 5/5 Dana R. 2 years ago on Google
    I was taking a short break and visiting friends around the area. This is the 3rd time I have stayed at Ambience. The accommodation is perfect for business or a holiday and the location is unsurpassed in Burleigh. It is so easy to get around by bus, UBER, or walking there is no need for a car. Having James Street and the shops across the Street on one side and the beach on the other, who could ask for more. The Burleigh markets on Saturday and Sunday a 5 minute walk away, not to be missed. I have sent friends to Ambience as well and they will be back as will I, I have no reservation in highly recommending this property.
