We had a lovely stay, everything was clean and tidy but small. The fittings and furnishings have reached their end of life, I imagine a refurbish is on the agenda. I was expecting more, I booked the view, but we got a downstairs apartment, the complex was empty so we were disappointed. Convenience and access to the beach and water 10/10 and at the end of the day that's what we were there for.

From the moment you walk in the door and see the magnificent view you know you have booked the Penthouse. We had a great few days,, afternoons watching the sunset over the river and enjoying the view with a few wines was exceptional. the place was within walking distance or restaurants and the estuary, just the climb home was a little challenging but doable. Glad there were only two of us as the second bedroom was a loft with access via a ladder. And the second bathroom was outdoors which was locked anyway.

Room was no maintained. Heavy mold on the Ceiling. Mold on the window blinds. Rug in living area was damp. There was a musty smell when we opened the door on arrival. No staff on site. We did not feel comfortable given the hygiene. We decided to leave after about 45 minutes and did not stay the night. worst place we have ever booked.

Wonderful views. Property has a cool layout with the loft for added sleeping space. DID NOT like the fact that we had to strip beds and do most of the work a cleaning crew should have. That should be more clear in the description.

We had the standard room which was nice and big with seperate dining and kitchen area with fridge and microwave but no cooker. Bed was comfy and big with nice clean linen. The furnishings and lamps were very dusty tho but everywhere else fairly clean with the exception of the outside of the fridge which was well used and quite dirty especially the handle but I think this was just because it was old. Although the ad says partial or sea view you can’t really see the sea due to the trees the garden however is very pretty with lots of Buddhas. The location is spot on for the beach and small marina and a couple of cafes in walking distance including the sunset bar which was never open disappointingly or when it was it was never open at sunset which is strange considering the name! The LARC tour nearby is great to do. It was very quiet when we went infact I think we were the only guests so it was great but there is only a few rooms so would never get crowded. The pool area is lovely and nice clean pool. Great price for what you get. I would recommend. Didn’t see any staff or owners whilst we were there but they do send email with clear checkin instructions. I did email the property whilst there but didn’t get a reply, maybe it went into their junk folder!

We booked this property same day while we’re in Gladstone. Arrived to check in and no staff.
Received a confirmation email and a text - place looked deserted. Office closed up and no one answering mobile or office number and mail jammed in the door. Called Expedia and they couldn’t get anyone either. Waited for over and hour past check in time and then had no choice but to find somewhere else to stay. Ended up driving 3 hours to Hervey Bay. No problem with them taking the money though. Hardly any mobile coverage in the area. Absolutely disgraceful. $414 gone.

I really liked the layout, the location is great and property is wonderful with a pool, great sleeping layout and size. Very kind and polite manager.

There were some general maintenance issues that do need attention however, such as flickering lights in bathroom, very dirty dishwasher that is no longer cleaning the dishes adequately, dirty freezer in one fridge and another fridge did not have a working freezer so need to be careful from a food safety perspective. An outdoor chair was fraying so need replacing and there was a chair missing in the inner dining table.

There is no washing facility, so couldn't clean clothes and this was an oversight of mine as I was expecting it for this size property and for more duration stays, however would have been nice.

Luxury suite?

While the bed was comfortable and the shower really good, we were taken aback at the instructions that upon our departure we were to strip the sheets off the bed and empty the rubbish bin into the big bins at the back of the property!!!
There was no tea or coffee provided only what looked like what other guests had left behind (although there was long life milk in the in the fridge)
There was also several forms of communication that if the kitchen wasn’t left in a tidy state there would be a $25 cleaning fee and a $75 cleaning fee if there was sand on the floor
Absolutely no late check out and the ocean view must have been before the trees and shrubs grew taller!!!
No one in reception and when I rang the number as advised to ask re parking I received no response to my voice mail. Another guest advised us of where to park our car
3 external doors to the small suite including one right next to the bed
Not sure the title of the booking is earned or warranted other than a reason to put a big price tag on the room per night

Although the property itself is very nice with gardens, pool, nice sitting areas and the room was as pictured on Expedia, we were very disappointed….the wifi signal in the room was non existent most of the time and when you finally got a weak signal it would keep cutting out. The satellite TV continually kept losing signal so we could not watch TV. So no internet & no TV! In addition when I tried to use the microwave, it did not work. The timers and settings work but the food remains ice cold. To add to the frustration, guests are expected to strip the bed sheets and place towels together for laundry pick up as well as sweep the floors and clean the kitchen. For the price that this property charges, you would think they could hire a cleaning service for their rooms and not expect guests to do it for them. Even a budget motel offers this service, There is a clear note that if the cleaning is not done to their satisfaction, they will charge guest $75. I doubt that we will get any credit for the issues I listed above. We are very disappointed and do not recommend this accommodation!

Beautiful view! Interesting place, not sure id call it a luxury penthouse unless in Bali! It’s a little over done in styling! Bathroom is very dated. It was freezing cold and no way of heating the main areas and the air con in the bedroom was so noisy I had to turn it off to sleep! Other than that was nice!

Very limited phone communication prior to our visit and inability to reach office or mobile contacts on the day of our visit. No one in the Office on Saturday and no one anywhere in sight, guests or staff, at the Lodge. Expedia in Arizona finally found us alternative accommodation after we spent several hours on a park bench speaking to a robot.

For the money spent I don’t think it was worth it. Bathroom was very average with no power point and a small basin and mirror. You could hear the people above and there was a light which stayed on outside the bedroom with no curtain. The only curtains that were in the large glass door were see through so minimal privacy. Ocean views were only just. The Room was ok but just not worth it.

Pleasant stay

The property is in a wonderful position central to the town which consists of a a couple cafe/bars and the pub. The property is comfortable and nicely decorated. The style of property is a self contained apartment that provides no services and is very strict regarding self cleaning of the apartment. However this style suits the environment of 1770.

The living room/dining area/kitchen and veranda were beautiful, taking in the stunning view. The bedroom was also lovely with a comfortable bed and looking out over the bay.
The drawback was that the bathroom is quite dated and small, especially the toilet crammed between the shower and wall. If there are more than 2 people and you use the second 'bedroom', they would have to walk through your bedroom to get to the toilet as there is no second, separate toilet.
The second bedroom is an accident waiting to happen as it's only accessible via a very steep ladder with no side bars. Very unsafe and dangerous for either children or adults.
It doesn't quite fit the description as a TWO bedroom penthouse, but for a couple's getaway it's beautiful.

Two thumbs up, would visit again. I was lucky enough to snag the Nusa Dua room. Actually it's a full palatial suite fit for a king, queen or any other gender neutral regal. Seriously, if you can't make, maintain or mend a relationship here you have problems no mortal can overcome. The lodge is close to everything but far enough away that noise isn't an issue. The town itself is a dream.

A Perfect Getaway

We recently had a short getaway in Agnes Waters/1770, and stayed at the 1770 Sovereign Lodge, and loved our stay.
The lodge only has a small amount of units, so it was lovely and quiet. It is in a perfect position close to the beautiful 1770 beach, so we were able to enjoy the perfect water and beach conditions. The views are amazing. There is a lovely pool which was so nice to cool off in after coming back from the beach.

Breathtaking views, quirky if not a little 'kitch'

Breathtaking views, quirky if not a little 'kitch'. Great position in 1770 and helpful staff.
The decor is Indonesian themed and not necessarily to everyones taste. We had the penthouse apartment and the views are amazing and we had all the things you need to have a good holiday in the kitchen and living area but poor design of the ensuite bathroom with a toilet where you cannot sit on it without banging your head and knees on the glass of the shower and the towel rail placed between the sink top and the shower in an already squeezy area made for careful navigation also strangely, light switches in the living room and bedroom were covered crudely with black tape?
APART FROM THESE TWO PARTICULAR ISSUES IT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO BE :-)
