Comfortable and Spacious

Lovely stay at Kings Keep in Cable Bay in winter. A great view and lovely and spacious. The ensuite shower was a bit confusing to operate but the other shower was really great. Thank you! Highly recommend

The sparkling pool is salt water so the chlorine levels are low.

Family Celebration

We chose Moana Vista for its facilities, location and pool! It did not disappoint! The layout was perfect for our family of 6 adults and two minis. Easy indoor and outdoor flow. However, we were blown away by the pool! So amazing and a real treat! David, the property manager was friendly and very helpful. All in all we had the best time.

Awesome place

Absolutely loved this place, very quiet and serene but only short drive to shops, eateries and beaches. My son slept in a sleeping bag on the floor but no complaints, it’s such a cool spot and a roomy loft. Highly recommended. I definitely hope to return for a getaway with my wife. Thanks a lot for having us.

Awesome family bach

The bach was well stocked, and a we felt right at home. There were even extra beach towels and a line to hang them on. We loved playing games outside at the table while watching the sunset over the water. Excellent location. The neighbourhood felt safe and was very quiet. It was an easy walk to the beach. We can't wait to come back again.
