Wonderful

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We loved sitting on the deck watching the boats and rock wallabies down below. We all enjoyed the pool also. It was a warm time of year, so we used the extra fans in the bedrooms to supplement the air conditioning. We would definitely stay at this property again!

Hi Dave & Kate,
We are thrilled with your review. It's the best thing we could hope for. We love to have you back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Nelly beach was a convenient and beautiful base to explore the island from. Our apartment had everything we needed and more. We were very comfortable. The only things that could have been a little better was that the iron leaked when we tried to use it and also some things weren’t super clean (such as a small coffee leak under the coffee machine and the shower screens weren’t really clean). Otherwise, just a beautiful place. We will be back!
great apartment for a getaway, long sea views to cape cleveland, and waves white noise to sooth all night long

Picture Postcard Views!
When we first walked into the apartment we were blown away with the blue sea view that hit us. The apartment was clean and modern and the kids loved the Foxtel!
The master bed was huge (king) and so comfortable. Watching the sunrise over the water from it each morning was a fantastic way to start the day :)
We ate most of our meals sitting on the balcony watching the sea and trying to spot sea turtles (we saw one!).

Incredible!
WOW, the views from family room, master suite and balcony were truly absolutely AMAZING.
We had the huge sliding doors open all week and just loved the indoor/outdoor living, with NO INSECTS!!!
5201 is in a fantastic location within the resort - which was busy (school holidays) - but the apartment was still quiet.
Will definitely be back :)

Great Location
The location was magical and all we could wish for.The pool and gardens were very well cared for and given the close proximity to the ocean, the outdoor areas were generally well maintained.Given the price of this unit we were not as impressed with the cleanliness inside.The kitchen and bathroom facilities need a thorough clean and the lounge needs sanitising.The unit is starting to look a little tired and could do with some maintenance.
