Very disappointed that there was no Wifi available as we were not informed when booking - we could have made other arrangements or not booked at all if we had known in advance. Not sure there is any other similar accommodation in Australia which does not have wifi so a shock! Did learn to use our mobiles as a hot spot so some sort of positive learning.

Absolutely loved it

We had the most wonderful stay. Our room was on the ground floor facing the beach, about 50 metres from the pool. The view from our unit was to die for. Waking up and jumping in the ocean or pool was such a luxury. The location was amazing - walking distance to everything we wanted - aquarium, markets, boat club and a quick drive to the botanical gardens and waterpark. We’ve already decided we’ll be back annually and we want the same unit! The spa bath was also beautiful, and second toilet was convenient. Only downfall was no wi-fi, although not a huge issue as we were having too much fun during the day. It would just be nice to watch a movie at night. Phone reception was poor, so hotspotting was not an option.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We started in room 169. This room should be condemned, it had mould, it smelled, the carpet was old and dirty, and the furniture looked like it had gone through a flood. The whole unit was old and in need of a refurbishment. We complained and were immediately moved to a suite, unit 130. Much better, but to think this room leases for $504 per night is so overpriced. I would not pay more than $150 per night to stay at this complex.

Nice to have the additional space in the apartment and a good kitchen, covered parking too. Very close to the water. Enjoyed the bats at night!! Bedrooms did not have AC but had fans, so ok. Fans in bathrooms didn’t seem to work. AC in main area was great but condenser unit was on balcony so was hard to keep apartment cool and enjoy the balcony.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The view of the water from our apartment was AMAZING! The accommodation is rundown and could do with an upgrade. There was no aircon upstairs in the master bedroom, thank goodness for the sea breeze! It was disappointing that there was no wifi for guests. The lagoon pool was a let down as it's out the back near the carpark, however, the lap pool was great. There is no games room, so don't be fooled by the picture on wotif. The room just had books in it.
