Great holiday accomodation
Pros:

The location was fantastic, easy walk to Burleigh township. Views were to die for and the accommodation was perfect for our family if four adults... walk across the road for a beach swim or lounging by the decent sized pool.

Cons:

Nothing

Total waste of money and would not recommend staying at this hellhole.
Pros:

The pool was nice. Absolutely nothing else.

Cons:

No air conditioning in the living room.
Dust everywhere!
Mould in the showers
Additional fold up bed was inadequate and dangerous as the latch kept coming undone and bed would fold while in use. Had to purchase our own air mattress after the first night and no care showed by staff, no refund for the cost of the fold up bed hire.
White stains on decorative cushions.
Desk chair all torn and ripped apart.
Fridge stopped working and our food went bad.
Free to air tv channels don’t work at all and can’t be rectified.
Uncomfortably hot all the time!
I can’t add more photos otherwise I would share them all.
