Overall our stay was very enjoyable and the facilities available were excellent and the access available directly from our room to the pools and spa was fantastic and was enjoyed very much by our kids. The facilities appeared to be excellent and well maintained, will stay again.

Great service when arrived and the room was wonderful. The pool and bbq area was the best I have been to on the east coast of Australia.

We loved that the heated pool and large spa is just a step outside the villas patio. The pool area is open until 9pm, great for kids that love swimming. The villa was clean and modern. The beach is only a 2 minute walk away. A wonderful place for families or groups.
