The beachfront apartments are located directly opposite the patrolled section of Trinity Beach – all that is separating the apartments and the sand is a service road. The ocean view apartments are at the rear of the beachfront apartment buildings and are elevated to capture panoramic views of the ocean (from Yorkeys Knob to Palm cove).
A kitchenette simply doesn’t have an oven. There is a 2 burner cook top, a microwave, pots and pans – everything needed to cook a meal for two. The fridge is minimum 140 litres and also has a small freezer. Should you want to cook a Roast Dinner or be a little adventurous, we have an electric frying pan available at Reception. During office hours, simply dial 9 on your phone to request this. Dishwashing liquid is supplied during your stay with us.
We applaud (and actually encourage) guests who write reviews on sites such as TripAdvisor, Expedia, Booking.com and more recently Wotif. These sites give our guests the opportunity to let others know about us prior to them making a booking. Mostly these reviews are a honest interpretation of a Guest’s stay. Unfortunately some people also see this as an opportunity to vent their frustration about something which wasn’t exactly right during a stay – this could include a misinterpretation of accommodation type, a disagreement which was had with a staff member, something which happened on a tour or at a local restaurant. We are not perfect and we don’t claim to be. What we do claim is that we will offer you a fantastic holiday in 4 Star accommodation at competitive rates. We will try to make your holiday your best ever. If something isn’t right, we ask that you report this to us at the commencement of your stay, and we will make every effort to make it right. Read the Reviews knowing that we don’t always get the opportunity to make a comment, and keep in mind that usually, there are 2 sides to every story. Read them for what they are and look at the big picture. We are proud of our Reviews, especially on TripAdvisor, and we make no attempt to hide them – the good and on a rare occasion, the not so good.

Services and Facilities

When you arrive, simply ask us about the FREE Wi-fi which is available to all Apartment types. You will be provided with a Password and instructions on how to access the Connection. Instructions are also available in the Apartment Compendiums (Information folder).

Each building at On The Beach Holiday Apartments has FREE secure or off street parking.

All of our apartments are fully self-contained. This means that everything you need is provided, including linen and cooking utensils and equipment. Initial supplies of sundry items, such as toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner, tea, coffee, milk, sugar, washing up detergent and dishwasher powder are also included. Should these supplies need replenishing during your stay, then these can be purchased for a small price from Reception or from the local supermarket.
For 7+ night stays, apartments will be serviced weekly.

Not all of our 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom BEACHFRONT Apartments have Foxtel.

Some of our 2 Bedroom Ocean and Garden view apartments have Digital Television which includes over 15 channels. There is also a DVD Player in each apartment.

Each apartment type is housed in it’s own complex with each complex having it’s own swimming pool and BBQ area. If the pool is not suitable for your child, please contact Reception to discuss your individual needs.

Although we don’t have specific Disabled Apartments, our 2 and 3 Bedroom Beachfront complex may be suitable by means of the following:

  • Large spacious apartments
  • There is at least one shower in the apartment which has only a small lip into the shower itself
  • There is a lift in the complex

The swimming pool is inaccessible by wheel chair, however the complex next to this one is accessible and disabled guests are welcome to use this. Please discuss individual needs with Reception prior to arrival.

Each of the 7 buildings that form On The Beach Holiday Apartments are three (3) levels or floors. There are two x 2 bedroom beachfront complexes, one of which does have a lift. This complex also houses the 3 bedroom beachfront apartments. For the 2 Bedroom beachfront apartments, the lift access cannot be guaranteed when making a booking, however a request can be submitted and notes will be made to ensure we do our best to accommodate your needs.
Beach towels are available for hire at a small cost of $1 per day for the duration of your stay. Should you choose not to keep your towel and launder it yourself, the charge is $2. These charges can be placed on your room account and settled prior to departure.
On The Beach is comprised of 7 individual buildings, each being an important feature of why On The Beach is so popular and why we have over 50% of our guests visit year after year. The seven buildings offer privacy and security. They are small, secure complexes each with its own swimming pool, car parking area and landscaped BBQ area. When we are fully booked, you can still enjoy a swim with complete privacy. Some of the buildings may only have 2 holiday apartments in them, meaning that the other occupants may be at work or living away from the area. Each complex has walkways leading to the central Reception office and to the beach. Pathways winding through beautiful tropical gardens remind you of the typical North Queensland rainforest.
