Great for the younger children with the different swimming areas and mini golf. Rooms are very dated. 2 adults, stayed for 5 nights and was only given half a toilet roll of paper and had to supply your own. 2 averaged sized Coffee mugs but 1 handle was broken, should have been replaced already. Comfortable bed but only had 1 thin blanket on the bed (great for summer but we stayed during winter). Plenty of onsite parking included in your accommodation.

Overall we had a great time. My husband cut his finger pretty bad on a broken tile in one of the pools. Borderline needed a hospital visit and stitches. Staff really could have handled the situation better. Concern could have been more and the tiles were not fixed. If a child cut their finger the way he did then could have been a lot worse for a tiny finger. Property was clean. Could have been more complimentary dishwasher powder and toilet paper. 2 rolls for a family of 4 for 7 nights isn’t going to cut it. Overall though great for the kids, will return.

We loved our stay at Turtle Beach Resort. Our room was clean and spacious with a beautiful view overlooking the pool area and The Deck. The food and coffee from The Deck was delicious and served quickly. Although we went out most days, we could have quite easily never left the resort and still had an amazing holiday. We will be back

Would have rated higher if the pools were heated but the heater was under repair whilst we were there so it was cold but our daughter and lots of the kids still managed to enjoy!

I didn’t hate or love this place. There were so many good things - ie pools and slides etc. however the water was freezing in all pools so the spas were crowded. Apartment had a lot going for it, however slightly dated and no lifts. The wifi was the worst I have ever experienced with no connection ever. It seems those who frequent this place are dishonest - our daughter misplaced a hat which noone turned in. We then had a charge to our room for tennis which we did not play. We may return but only for the location once the light rail out the front is built.

Great for families

We have stayed at Turtle Beach Resort now about 5 times over the years and we do enjoy the facilities, the gardens are beautiful and well maintained, the pools are lovely. The apartments are good and spacious, unfortunately they have a bath shower and when you are in your seventies getting into the shower can be difficult nearly had a nasty fall out of the bath could have done with a handle on the wall. What disappoints me is the fact that they take $200 and put it on hold and even though we did not spend any money and have been home for a few days I still do not have access to our money. We are booked to stay at Christmas again with our daughter’s family and maybe our last as with my mobility it is getting harder to climb the stairs which is a shame because we have enjoyed our previous times at Turtle Beach Resort.

Fantastic stay for kids. The rooms could use a refresh but most of the time was spent outside. The pool facilities and cafe are wonderful. Easy walking distance to woolies, chemist and the beach. Pac Fair a very short drive too. Only thing would be to request a ground floor room if you have little ones as the stairs become quite cumbersome.

We stayed at Turtle Beach as we needed 3 bedrooms and had a 3 year old with us. The pool/play areas were great and very well maintained. The unit itself was large, clean, and very comfortable. Easy 5 min walk to a supermarket, chemist etc. The onsite restaurant was very nice with enormous meals. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend . We didint mind the fact that the whole space is very dated, tired and in need of a makeover.
