Fantastic apartment, very spacious and great location with the best view of Shoal Bay!
Great family holiday, for the price per night, linen should be included without having to make and strip beds, also make sure you request a second set of keys. Overall experience was fabulous just a bit pricey for Easter.

Sensational location
The views are absolutely sensational! From our penthouse apartment balcony, we spotted numerous pods of dolphins morning and afternoon and hand fed rainbow lorikeets! Beach access couldn’t be easier or closer to the pristine water. The spacious apartment afforded we 6 adults plenty of space for a brilliant 4 night stay over Christmas.The major drawback was the lack of cleanliness.When moving furniture in the lounge room a build up of popcorn, lollies, debris, toys,etc were exposed. Stove top, some cookware (needs replacing)and cutlery needed washing before use. I replaced the blackened ‘white’ kettle due to the foul taste of boiled water.It appears the “Needs a damn good spring clean” comment from January 2021 had not been taken on board. The broken toilet seat also exposed sub standard health and hygiene practices, inexcusable in these Covid times. Credit to the emergency on call service organising a lovely plumber who came out to clean and fix it on Christmas Day. Remedy the negative and we would definitely stay again!

This apartment needs an upgrade and some deep clean. One small air condition unit in living area means the rooms get very hot especially the 5 person room which is the smallest room unbearable if a hot night. Fans do nothing. Location, pool and closest beach are the highlight. Sorry but would not stay again or recommend for large group. Disappointed Girls trip
