Property is very old and dated but clean. Family room would benefit from the addition of electric frying pan/benchtop cooker and a larger fridge. Proximity to staff entry for restaurant made our room quite noisy late at night. Location was great. Right across from lagoon and beach & The Strand restaurants within an easy walk. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

We had a Wonderful stay! Location was Excellent and directly across from the Beach. Many Cafes and Restaurants were in short walking distance as well as onsite Restaurant which was Exceptional!! Lots to do as well visiting Magnetic Island, which was a highlight. Staff were always very helpful and its Pet Friendly as I travelled with my Service Dog over Easter which they welcomed us very warmly. We definitely would stay again, infact looking at returning soon as it was so relaxing. Thankyou to all Staff who made us feel special from us, Shirley and Coco

We booked a budget family room, I didn't realise budget now means run down and dirty. Other than the linen on our bed, the room was filthy. Dust bunnies hanging from a rusty fan, freezer so over frozen I could barely open in, hole in the wall, toilet paper shoved in the gaps in the window, layers of dust on the lights and window sills. It was just a mess. I raised my concerbs with recep8who was initially defensive and told me I booked a budget room, which I found unacceptable. My kids did want to stay so we checked out. About 45 mins later, reception apologised and admitted the room wasn't to standard. The only saving grace in this situation. Only then did he offer a free room upgrade, but we had already made other plans
