Great location right at Caves beach, with balcony with ocean views Well stocked IgA next door Good cafe just up the street Spacious and comfortable
Would have liked more kitchen utensils eg tongs, plastic spatula to use on non-stick frying pan, coffee plunger A few kitchen essentials like paper towel, salt & pepper would be helpful

Lived the view and the location
The room was musty and I suffer from mould allergies .. I was quiet sick after this visit There was also … broken blinds … filthy sliding doors and immovable sliding screen … dead unwatered plants ..so sad to see this neglect in Our favourite location The rust in the support structure needs urgent attention 🙏🏻 it very sad We only treat ourselves on VERY SPECIAL occasions …. We were a little disappointed this time …. I’m confident no one will read this However I’d love to see this improve for others.

Great location and nice secluded cabins. We got the one we requested.
The screen door was almost impossible to open when we got there. Eventually I pulled it off it's tracks, straightened it, cleaned the tracks and re-aligned it. Worked fine then, but i shouldn't have had to! Also when booking the restaurant the form asks if this is a special occasion, I replied yes, 50 year anniversary, however there was no acknowledgement or special treatment or even a free drink! A bit disappointing. But the food was very good.

Location of the bungalows was lovely with the lake with birds nesting in it and the beautiful ocean views. The pool at the resort was stunning. Food at the pub was decent pub view and views.
Breakfast not included. No information provided in room about local food options (including breakfast which the resort does not provide) or info on local attractions.

The location and views were perfect for my fiancé and I,is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway..was a little expensive but well worth the stay..we loved the space in the townhouse and how it was organised,had a very homie feel, and was an absolute beautiful dwelling,with the two story arrangement, and loved the piece and quiet
Some of the cooking equipment was not clean,and to the point not even useable,so ruined our having a romantic cooking at home together experience..was reported to the hotel staff upon departure

The location is lovely just by the beach with a little wetland area immediately in front of the bungalow . It was quiet and peaceful. The staff were friendly and helpful , especially Yvonne on reception . The pool area was clean and large , enjoyed our swims !
The bungalow we were in had an open bathroom which was fine , but not having a door to the loo was a bit odd . The single use plastics in the shower .

Great location right near the beach. We stayed in the adults only bungalows looking over the pond/wetlakes & out to the beach. Lovely styled & large room which great deck. Had a good lunch at the pub. Great pool too.
Unfortunately we were awake very early both mornings as the shutters let through a lot of light even though they were closed. The bathroom is open planned & although the toilet & shower are both recessed there are no doors even to the toilet. You can hear everything including the fan/light which were very loud. Were just friends who like our bathroom privacy so the other sat outside. Seems silly that there are shuttera in front of the bathtub that could have been extended out to provide complete bathroom privacy of sorts.

We stayed in a Beach Bungalow; this was fabulous, well appointed, spacious, and comfortable. The bungalow had a porch/balcony, and this had comfortable furniture. The ocean views from the Bungalow and balcony spectacular. The bungalow was situated on a boardwalk around a small lake with well-behaved ducks and waterfowl (quite comical at times). The resort's hotel with good food, albeit a bit pricey, and a tremendous view of the ocean. If not wanting to eat at the hotel restaurant, the bungalow had a small kitchenette, bar fridge and coffee maker, with a supermarket ~150m from the resort. There were also nearby cafes next-to and across the road from the supermarket. A fabulous, relaxing and very enjoyable stay.
The front desk service was a little poor, and I had to rectify a room double billing issue.

Fantastic getaway, close proximity to caves beach, generally clean, comfortable stay, while advertised as garden view we could still see the ocean.
we stayed at villa 4. A few small things could have been improved - eg no vacuum (we prefer to vacuum daily), the ensuite faucets for both shower and sink were very difficult to turn open and close so not good for kids or those with arthritis, the main bathroom had broken towel racks - no where to dry dishes, half of the dishes were dirty even in the cupboard - had to wash before use, the second bedroom blinds were broken couldn’t adjust the blinds and it was a little ajar so not comfortable changing in there not ideal, not enough soap, plastic bags in kitchen considering the 3 night stay.
