It was a gorgeous resort, but basic maintenance wasn't looked after: the shower was broken, lamps were either missing from rooms or bulbs were missing from them. Half a great view, half a view of a construction site. Would love a breakfast option or at least coffee earlier in the morning. Other comparable hotels include a breakfast buffet. The pools are lovely, dinner at the restaurant was lovely and they catered to our dietaries. Staff were very helpful.

Great for a quiet stay a bit away from everything, and yet still just a short drive to the rest of the Sunshine Coast also. There is a supermarket and tavern within about a 5 minutes drive, or the resort has a nice restaurant bar. Nice sized apartment, and nicely furnished, but the TV's are quite dated in the age of 50" LCD's for peanuts. I had a great view from my balcony over the golf-course waters. Pool is unbelievable and large! You can order drinks by the pool from your mobile, and they'll be delivered a few minutes later by the friendly staff. Prices aren't "cheap" but neither ridiculously priced compared to elsewhere. Underground parking is good, but will not fit a taller 4WD. For those you can park them out the front. Value was great on my rate for a long weekend away. A great place to stay for a few days or longer!
