Room was amazing. Great size. Very clean. Had little extras like individual tea pots. Kitchen was kitted out well. Balcony was good size. Easy hotel access to the beach. Close walking distance to shops short drive to 1770. The lovely girl on reception on arrival was so nice and informative about the hotel and the area. Would definitely stay here again

The room was clean, check in was easy and quick as we did it online. We liked the idea of the kitchen being hidden behind a door, but the fridge was very tiny and didn't hold alot. Our room was close to the restaurant, but you couldn't hear the music which was good.

The unit allocated to us didn't have a dishwasher as described in the site, but it wasn't a big deal. Everything else was great, clean, spacious, and good and fast service from management when needed (like replacing bbq gas bottle). I'll be coming back in the future for sure.

Staff were so friendly and the room was large and clean with very comfortable beds. We ate at the restaurant and the food was great. Special thanks to the lady on reception who then went to work in the reception in the evening (sorry forgot her name) she was so nice and made us feel very welcome. We recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to return.

For us “oldies” stepping into a bath for a shower is never ideal, BUT apart from that minor issue, our stay was PERFECT.
Starting with the lovely warm welcome from the helpful, young lady at reception through to the rest of our stay could not be faulted.
The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was a good size and the locality was great.

I booked an overnight stay through Wotif and was genuinely excited about my trip, but I was quite disappointed upon arrival. The fridge and microwave were in a disgusting state, and the room itself felt stuffy and uncomfortable.

On top of that, the lighting in the room was very poor — definitely not suitable if you needed to study or use a computer at night. Out of four small lights, one wasn’t working, which made the room even dimmer.

The price for the \"studio\" is nearly the same as the Garden View Studio, which is absolutely ridiculous. They call it \"budget-friendly,\" yet charge $200 per night — for that amount, I expected much better accommodation.

I'm sure the response I’ll receive here will be similar to what I already heard from the admin team — they went on about how they supposedly differentiate between the various room types and the beachfront views, etc., which simply isn't true. I found their explanation dismissive and unhelpful.

The apartment was generally clean, although there was some sand on the sofas and in a few drawers in the bedroom, which isn't a big deal. However, the washing machine had mold and a strong musty smell inside. Also, the BBQ gas tank was empty, but after notifying them, it was replaced the next day.
The check-in process was somewhat cumbersome, as it was necessary to provide credit card details over the phone to a staff member. Although the online check-in works, the access code takes about 20 minutes to arrive. The resort has two pools, but guests have access to only one, depending on the room option selected.

Disappointing

Location was great and that’s where the good news ends. There was no reception office open for the entire 2 night/ 3 day stay, so couldn’t get extra towels or toilet paper (only one roll in room). There were also no pool towels and the pool was hot and very dirty. It appeared that all that had been done in the room after the last guests left was new bin liners and bedding. The shower was full of sand and mouldy, sand on the floor of the room, dust and torn up toilet paper on the window sill and last guests belongings still in bedside drawer. The cupboard doors did not slide and had to be lifted to access the space. Girl in the restaurant was very rude when we asked about booking a table and when we enquired about takeaway she said we’ll have to see if we’re too busy! Yes, we knew our room was called ‘budget’ but it was $230 a night and we at least expected it to be clean.

I was disappointed my room was changed without consultation after discussing what we required we had a room we couldn't use due to steps so we were moved to original room we booked. Then to top it off they booked our room for another person as well who came to check into our room with her key. I am not keen on giving a bad review, but no one bothered to contact me to explain or apologize for the inconvenience, I had to call them myself. Lovely property and a great location. There was a smoke alarm sitting on the bench that had fallen from the ceiling. The unit was immaculate and loved everything about it. But the staff failed with supplying customer service.

Nice place, close to beach and very clean. We stayed in a 2 bedroom beach house pool. The photos were miss-leading showing the pool having a glass pool fence and at the end of the balcony. Our one was actually a metal fence and tucked around the side. Also had little issues in the room: bbq wouldn’t light and dishwasher rack was broken. Would we stay again? Yes, but these are things I would be mindful of.

Super friendly lady at front desk, central location, clean and tidy.

However, this is a typical roadside motel, with the sound of early traffic coming right through the windows.

And the photos give the impression it’s resort style accommodation without making it clear you’re in a motel quite apart from the resort rooms, which appear to be quite a bit nicer.

I think it was very overpriced at $270 for what it was.

Had it been $180, even $200, then it would have been fair value.

Overall, we had a comfortable stay and would recommend if they brought down the price of the motel rooms.
