The room was amazing and clean, had everything we needed, extra towels, a kitchenette, microwave oven, tea and coffee. Also a very beautiful view of one of the pools, sounds of birds singing, water fall and a nice breeze when sitting on the balcony. Couldn’t be better than this. Thank you 😊

Excellent property, great pools, very smart. Our room was a bit small and the TV was pretty hopeless - we couldn’t cast to it so the range of programming was very limited. But overall a lovely place.

We had a 1 bedroom apartment that overlooked the pool and bbq area, that was really great having breakfast out there most mornings. Seeing the cockatoos flying home every night was amazing too. Very spacious and modern apartment. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Not too far to walk to the beach or the shops which made it handy. Amazing place, can't wait to go back.
