Our Take
Quest Cronulla Beach isn’t about over-the-top extras – it’s about clear rules, practical setups and a prime location right on the coast. The pet fee is on the higher side, but the apartments give you space to settle in and the staff genuinely try to make travelling with dogs easier. For beach-loving travellers who want convenience and consistency, it’s a straightforward pick with Greenhills Beach nearby.
Why We Recommend Quest Cronulla Beach
Because not every traveller is after cocktails and pup portraits. Sometimes you just want an apartment by the ocean where your dog is welcome and the rules are clear. Quest Cronulla Beach makes it easy – straightforward pet policy, staff who know the neighbourhood and a location that puts the surf and sand at your doorstep.
