The pool was amazing and the main drawcard. All the facilities and areas around the building are well maintained with good security while still being accessible and with a friendly vibe. The mix of hotelstyle guests and permanent owner/residents makes a comfortable quiet vibe and for the most part all the people we met during our weeklong stay were all charming. It was a good thing that we had a reasonably well equiped kitchen also, due to our need to cook our own style of food due to dietary constraints. Many other "resorts" only have a restaurant option. The spa bath in the main bathroom was also an added luxurious bonus. Very relaxing.

While the beds were extremely comfortable the lounge chairs were a bit lacking in support. While they look ok they were not very comfortable. Some of the kitchen geer is a bit dated or not very serviceable. The old toaster was immediately replaced by the manager for which we were grateful. We wre also gratified by the fact that the only noisy paeriod in our stay was the first weekend with a few really noisy small chidren in the pool. The very fact that the pool is so accessible can also be a drawback if there happens to be an "invasion" of unruly kids (although there is an abundance of signage warning of low tolerance of such behaviour)

The resort is presented extremely well with immaculate grounds and accommodation. I loved the security of the property. It is set in a very quiet location close to the Gardens hotel, which offers beautiful food at great prices. The resort is within walking distance to the beautiful Tea Gardens ferry. We couldn't be happier with our stay and definitely highly recommend this property. A+

Pool was great, the lady at reception was friendly and helpful. the location was great to walk to restaurants or fishing. Great for kids.

we missed out on a water view apartment as we were ground floor - we booked a year in advance so that was a little disappointing for the price paid. Next time I would make sure we booked a room on a higher floor.

The apartment has everything we needed and more! Great size and layout. We were on the ground floor with direct access to the pool. I was able to relax by the pool while my little one was asleep inside. We enjoyed the spa bath every evening and it was good to have a separate room for the kids to go to sleep early. Dryer was a good touch. The master room was beautiful and we enjoyed having breakfast outside near the pool.

It would have been good to have a kitchen towel and some dishwashing liquid which I brought from home but overall the apartment was absolutely great and no complaints!!! I’d happily go back many many times!!

The property was clean, modern, comfortable, very secure and well run. The pool was particularly enjoyable, long enough to swim laps and to provide space for splashing children and non-splashing adults alike. 😀

Housekeeping and self-care items were provided but somewhat minimal. We suggest that a review of glasses, cutlery etc be undertaken.

It had a great view and pool facilities for the kids to use. Restaurants nearby were good to walk to.

The room could have done with an upgrade a bit worn particularly in kitchen. A very noisy dryer and only four towels given for use. Would have been good to access more towels for the family. Not all rooms air conditioned only lounge and main bedroom. Kids room had stand up fan.

my kids love the pool, surrounding area is very very safe, we can go around with scooters, there are Thai and Chinese take away nearby, also fish and chip, Ice Cream, and bakeries nearby. The apartment itself is perfect for family, 2 bathroom, kitchen, laundry and sizeable balconies for having dinner is a plus

Everything. Easy check in and the staff were so lovely and welcoming. The whole resort was spotlessly clean and our room was lovely. The pool was so lovely and the whole area was also lovely and clean. We will definitely come back.

Location is quite nice if someone is looking for a serene experience. Couple of good restaurants options in Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens. Great massage place near by too. Good stay experience over all.
