Why You Might Consider Alternatives

  • Limited Stock Availability: Be aware that the store is smaller than others (like those in Burleigh, Robina, and Southport) and consequently has a more limited stock selection. You might find it "never has anything" you require, even items listed as "in stock."
  • Potential for Unhelpful Staff: Although many reviews praise the staff, experiences can vary. Be aware that some staff may appear "uninterested" and "unhelpful," as some staff are slow to assist.
  • Inconsistent Stock Levels: You might find that the store frequently runs out of items, even basic ones.
  • Limited Product Range: If you need a wider variety of products, especially for larger projects, you'll likely have better luck at larger Bunnings stores.
  • Opening Hours: Be aware that this location opens at 6:30 am, which might be later than other Bunnings stores in the area that open at 6 am.
