Pros:

The views from the accommodation are stunning. Added to this was the excellent facilities. I particularly found the owner very helpful and the continental breakfast that was provided each morning was a bonus. Definitely recommend this accommodation to everyone wanting a little piece of peace and tranquillity.

Cons:

I would be helpful to have a dish washing cloth and more tea towels provided.

Mittlerer Standard
Pros:

Die Lage ist ganz gut. Wir hatten allerdings Regen und Sturm, von Tieren war nichts zu sehen.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war nichts besonderes - kann man drauf verzichten.

Das Abendessen war ganz OK, hatte aber ein schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, so wie auch der Übrnachtungspreis..

Very tired and disappointing
Pros:

Location looking down to the ocean

Cons:

Decor and condition of the villa very tired. Roller blind broken in small bedroom sliding door derailed in living area. No attempt at adding pictures etc. very damp smell etc. could have been great but needs upgrading. Felt like poor value.

Amazing views and gorgeous unit.
Pros:

The view was just stunning, and the accommodation was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Not all the lights were working on the stairs up to the restaurant.
Would have loved a coffee pod machine or plunger in the room.

A great getaway and stop on the GOR
Pros:

The views from the room and dining room are outstanding. Excellent customer service from all staff, the breakfast buffet is amazing and dinner is also wonderful. The rooms are well appointed.

Cons:

The room is a little dated and the carpet isn't ideal when wet outside. Also areas needed to be cleaned better.

Pros:

Dlie Lage und der Blick sind super. Koalas und Wallabies sind direkt vorm Fenster.
Personal nett, aber leider nicht da bei checkin und checkout

Cons:

Es war superkalt im Zimmer (Herbst) und die Klimaanlage hat es nicht wirklich geschafft das Appartment zügig zu erwärmen. Er hat eine knappe Stunde gedauert bis wir uns einigermaßen aufgewärmt hatten. Zum checkin kleben die Schlüssel an der Tür, zum checkout lässt man sie einfach an der menschenleeren Rezeption. Schade, so unpersönlich. Das bei der Lage ein paar Spinnen und Tausendfüßler unterwegs sind, ist zu erwarten und ok. Wir hatten glaube ich eines der bereits frisch gestrichenen und mit neuerem Bad ausgestatteten Appartments (Villa 1). Die Ausstattung und auch das Restaurant sind aber in keinem vertretbaren Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

Relies on location wouldn’t recommend
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Property is in need of major renovation and is way over priced - not even a bottle of water available in the rooms and patch work not completed - disappointing

Pros:

Chris's was as stunning as in the photos. Food was delicious at the restaurant and I even managed to see the rainbow twice! Special thanks to Yetta and one of the chefs for dropping me off and picking me up.

Cons:

The queen studio was slightly smaller than I expected despite the amazing view. Understandably, because of its location, it was not reachable by public transport, and taxi was really pricey. Lucky I had Yetta picking me up though.

Pros:

The view from the window of the apartment was wonderful. It was a great space to unwind and enjoy the sea, clouds and trees. The bed was really comfortable. The continental breakfast was great, with really good coffee.
