Perfect for a short break away…
Pros:

Great unit with plenty of winter sunshine streaming in.
Everything clean and tidy.
Two good pools and great beach easy to get to.

Cons:

We were disappointed that the tennis court was under repair as it was displayed on the website.
Similarly the games room looked perfect for my young grandkids but this was limited to a table tennis table and books. No balls or bats easily available…

The lady in the office was very friendly and helpful.
Pros:

Fabulous location with a great water views across to Fraser Island.

Cons:

There was only a two seater lounge - would have been more comfortable if there was another Lounge chair so my husband and I could stretch out and relax.

Pros:

Location and value for money great.

Cons:

The bed was so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep. I took a look at the mattress it had to be 15 to 20 years old which is really inexcusable. Only need two things to win at hotels a comfy bed and great shower. The place is dated I get that but at the very least replace the damn matress. Despite loving the location. I will be unable to stay here again.

We have stayed here many times and will continue to do so.
Pros:

I loved to location, our room was a couple of levels up and we had a fantastic view across the bay.

Cons:

If i had one comment it would be the undercover parking spaces are a bit small for a 4WD, but that is the same as many places

Great view but overpriced and old
Pros:

The view was amazing

Cons:

It was overpriced as the room we stayed in had wicker outdoor style furniture and the room hasn't seen any updates in at least 20 years.
