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.

We can’t fault the location and the pool (there’s two) is heated beautifully and everything is very clean. We stayed in the top floor one bedroom apartment, the kitchen equipment is a little lacking and very basic, missed not having an oven or even air fryer. We also struggled to get any pool time as there’s only about 8 loungers and they were occupied most of the time. The complex is a little in need of some maintenance (broken and missing tiles etc). Otherwise we loved our stay (second time here)

Just book this resort

Our room was perfect for our 4 night stay, quiet, very clean and bedding and towels good quality. Our 2nd floor room overlooked one of the swimming pools so nice outlook. Short walk to the wharf, the main shopping/eating area and 4 mile beach. The receptionist was very friendly and polite. Would definitely stay here again.

Good sized accommodation, well laid out. Was a bit bare and less well appointed than other places we have stayed, but the bathroom was excellent and the outside area a great facility. Good supplies of towels and a comfy bed.
