We loved this place. Booked a three bedroom and got the one next to the pool. The place was clean and HUGE - like house sized. It had a full kitchen that was well stocked which meant we stayed in for more meals than we usually do on holiday. It was super cheap for what you got.

The reception lady was warm and welcoming.

It was super close to rockpools and a lagoon which were easy to get to with small kids.

Huge gated patio which allowed our kids to be outside. It wasn’t very private when on the patio but that was fine for us, hopefully the guests using the pool too.

We will definitely be back to stay and cant wait!

Location was great, right next to the beach and the golf course. Room was old but refurbished and the daily servicing of the apartment was nice. Staff were very friendly and there were more amenities than we realised - lovely communal deck on the beach to watch the sunrise, pool, and could borrow bikes and racquets/balls for the half tennis court.

Room was ok. Would consider a 2 star American hotel suite equivalent. Grounds are a bit dilapidated.

I would not recommend this hotel for American travelers.

You need international calling to call after hours. No 1800 number. I got locked out which meant finding someone to call the number and wake up the groundskeeper. Obviously this is my fault but a normal hotel this would just mean a quick 10 second detour.

I got there late and made sure to call in. They said they would text me the code but never got it. I called again and they said to just call when I got there not sure why they couldn’t give over the phone Kirk email to my email that is registered. Again seems great for locals on holiday.

The ocean view studio is perfect - sitting right over the beach and with a little kitchenette. It’s an older resort but they keep it well maintained. The pool has beautiful day beds and tables so you can relax after a day at the beach!
They don’t do turtle friendly lighting though, which was surprising given the location. Other hotels on the beach have a lights-out policy but ours was brightly lit all night.
But the staff are super friendly and it's a short walk to Bargara main street, so it's hard to beat!

It's an old motel undergoing renovation. Our room was small but had everything we needed & was very clean with a comfortable bed. The room was well set up with a good size fridge/freezer, 2 hotplates, a small kitchen with cookwear, plates, dishes, cutlery, cups, glasses, wine glasses, etc. We had a small balcony and a 10/10 ocean view. The parking was a little awkward due to our vehicle being over the 2 metre carpark entry because of kayak roof racks & we had to drive in a tight space around the buildings to enter the carpark from the back. The open carpark was full, so we couldn't park there. It's doable, but just a little awkward. It wouldn't be a problem getting into the carpark if your vehicle is under the 2 metre height restriction. We would definitely stay again. Good value for the price. Other accommodation in that area is very expensive. A couple of hooks on the inside of the bathroom door would be most helpful for hanging clothes while you shower.
