We had a wonderful stay. We received a warm welcome on arrival, and our spacious apartment had gorgeous views that made it even more relaxing. The incredible pool was a highlight - our kids absolutely loved it, and it made for a fun, family-friendly stay. A beautiful place to unwind. We’d happily stay again!

Perfect Palm Beach Stay

This location is unbelievably amazing. The unit (top floor) had a nice view of the ocean and pool. We watched the sunrise every morning! Close to great restaurants and coffee, the apartment amenities allows us to cook on site easily while also taking advantage of delicious food from surrounding businesses. We can’t wait to go back!

Fabulous Family Apartment

We had an excellent stay at this apartment. It is perfectly located and easy walking distance to everything you need. The apartment was tastefully decorated and perfect for our family of 5. The resort complex is also amazing with massive maleleucas creating a great ambience. Worth noting that the resort pool is not heated so is on the chilly side however this is out of the control of the apartment owners and manager.

Wonderful apartment

The property was very clean, well presented and comfortable. Home away from home with everything you need provided. Very convenient with loads of restaurants, cafes and beach only a few minutes walk away. The owners were very accommodating and easy to deal with. Would highly recommend this property and Palm Cove.

Fabulous destination

We were a group of 2 couples looking for a relaxing holiday with a lovely environment to stay in. We were not disappointed. The fabulous pool, spa pool and luxury apartment where we overlooked the exceptional pool and also a view of thru to the sea. Ideal apartment for two couples or a family. Would certainly stay here again.

We absolutely loved this apartment.... i would totally recommend it!

The stay we had at this apartment was one of the best. It was really clean and very spacious. It had everything in it that we needed for a weeks stay including things like salad bowls, crockery and washing powder. It is in the most perfect position - with easy access to the salt water lagoon pool, Palm Cove bars and restaurants and of course, the beach! The apartment manager was super helpful and we felt like we were in good hands. Thank-you Linda for a truly relaxing week at your place :)

Fantastic Family Getaway - We'll be back!

This property impresses the second you arrive at the front. You feel relaxed the moment you want in - not kidding! Easy to drop the bags off (especially with a car full of kids) and a 20 second walk to the lifts. The property is modern and has a real feel of spaciousness about it. You can open up all the doors and shutters and feel like you're part of the surrounds. Kitchen is great for making your own meals which we did a lot! Pool is beautiful and was fantastic for the children with a small splash area for the toddlers. Out the door and you're across the road from the beach. The restaurants down stairs were amazing quality and not too expensive. Location is fantastic. It doesn't feel really commercialised like other locations and you can genuinely unwind. The only complaint? Please move the gelato shop further down the road! I think we had a few too many ice creams ;). Thanks for a wonderful stay.
