The kitchen is thoroughly stocked for a self-catering holiday on Hamilton Island with up to 10 guests: Nespresso pod machine, gas stove, dishwasher, rice cooker and sandwich press alongside the full range of cookware, glassware and dinnerware. A powder room near the living areas adds everyday practicality, and the sofa bed in the main lounge gives the group a flexible additional sleeping or lounging space.
The 8-seat alfresco balcony with family gas BBQ faces directly onto the ocean — the natural gathering point for everything from morning coffee to sunset dinners. The Waves complex pool is just steps away, and the marina, restaurants and IGA are an easy walk from the property, making Waves 5 one of the most connected 3 bedroom Hamilton Island holiday homes on the waterfront side of the island.

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness
House was dated, fly screens look like they have never been cleaned, mould in the main wardrobe drawers, musty smell in house.
Great location, amazing views across Dent Passage, spacious and clean but dated in areas. The only thing I can fault is that for a 6 night stay we were provided just one towel each . I had to ring to get extra trowels etc which for a luxury accommodation I thought poor no frills with this place and if you get neighbours beware of the noise.
