If you are looking for accommodation in the Redcliffe/Woody Point area... this hotel is a must. We went to Queensland for the long weekend, to visit my sister and her family. My husband and I had recently celebrated our third wedding anniversary, and so we were looking for somewhere nice to spend a couple of nights. I dont think we could have asked for nicer :)
We had a one bedroom apartment on the 10th floor overlooking the ocean. The Oakes Mon Komo is part of a bigger building that has some residential accomodation as well. There are two towers to the building, the Residential tower and the Oakes tower. The Oakes tower has a range of apartments, a mix of 1,2 and 3 bedroom apartments. With a choice of Ocean View or non Ocean View.
In my opinion it is DEFINITELY worth paying the little bit extra for the ocean view - the view that we had was spectacular and the sea breeze was just divine :)
The apartment was fully equipped, with fully kitchen (including stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher), laundry with washer and dryer, and a fantastic balcony!
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the whole experience from an accommodation point for view was great.
However, the one and only thing that I do have to complain about was the food from the restaurant. On our first night there - we ordered take away food from the restaurant downstairs. I had to go down and collect it, and my husbands risotto was great. However, the food that my sister and I ordered left a lot to be desired. We ordered a cheese platter, which was fine, and a bowl of chips which were served in a styrofoam container, and so they were VERY soggy by the time I got them back to our room, and although I ordered them with tomato sauce as well as aioli, there was no sauce to be seen.
But with the food aside, the accommodation experience was fantastic. :) As far as accommodation goes, this is a definite YES. Just maybe choose one of the many other options for food in the area. :)
