We enjoyed our stay as it was close to the shopping precinct and we could walk to meals and the beautiful beach. The cleanliness of the facilities was a stand out for me.
Be aware there are stairs to the second story.

Sauna is out of order, just has a small pool. The rooms are outdated. Rainbow Beach is a pretty area though.

I was very happy with my stay at rainbow sands the property was clean and pretty well maintained
Shower had green would/orsomething covering shower head. Ants everywhere. Bed was literally broken in middle and sunk when sat on. And worst during winter not hot water to shower!

We stayed for one night. Looked good in the internet and a good location. Reception girl was friendly but when we went to the room it all changed. Weeds around pool, you could hear other rooms going to the toilet, workers were noisy, quilt in the cupboard hadn’t been washed in ages and smelt and the mini fridge rattled throughout the night.

Old, rundown style motel
Old, rundown motel style accommodation. No coast hangers were provided and even if they were, the coat rail in the closet was broken. Other items in the bathroom were mission such as the soap dish in the shower recess. The only redeeming feature was the bed which was quite comfortable.
