Living, Dining & Entertaining:
The main living and dining areas sit across the upper level of Waves 3, with a well considered design that makes the most of the ocean outlook. The indoor dining table seats eight and faces the water, while the lounge — with large smart TV and Netflix — opens to the balcony for a seamless indoor-outdoor feel. The kitchen is well set up for self-catering at any scale, with a gas stove, dishwasher, full cookware, glassware and dinnerware, and a Nespresso machine stocked with a starter pack of pods for arrival. A powder room is conveniently located near the living area for guests moving between floors.
The expansive balcony is one of Waves 3's standout features — a full 8-seat outdoor dining setting and family gas BBQ face directly onto the ocean, making it as practical as it is scenic. Whether it's a casual breakfast or a long evening BBQ watching the sun set over the Whitsunday Islands, the balcony is where the group naturally ends up.

Outdoor Living & Location:
The balcony at Waves 3 runs the full width of the property and is fitted out for serious outdoor dining — 8-seat alfresco setting, family gas BBQ and unobstructed ocean views across the Whitsunday Islands. It's the kind of space that makes it easy to spend the entire day without going inside. Steps from the front door, the Waves complex pool provides a quieter pool option than the resort pools, and the surrounding landscaping keeps the whole complex feeling calm and relaxed.
Waves 3 is positioned on Acacia Drive on the waterfront side of Hamilton Island, within easy walking distance of the marina, restaurants, Front Street shops and the IGA. The complimentary 4-seat buggy gives the group flexibility to reach Catseye Beach, the resort facilities and all corners of the island with ease.

Exceptional property. It was a truly luxurious property with all amenities. The hosts were fantastic. Property was top notch and everything worked very smoothly. Would definitely go back.
Great location and view - only improvements that could be made are to general modernisation of the apartment ie. new carpets in bedroom and paint on walls.

Location was great.Unit was not cleaned correctly (Fungi in the showers / carpet not clean)Buggy only worked for a day and a half.Aircon for the rooms stopped working halfway through our stayStains in the carpets and table matt.Outside balcony roof was fulling down and had spider webs and fungi growing on the tiles.Contacted service about the issues 5 times and had one response and they never turned up.Would rate this one of our worst stay holidays in the last 5 years.
Extremely comfortable and clean townhouse internally with great views down to Shute Harbour.
Lovely and extremely comfortable Townhouse. Included buggy certainly added to the experience and ability to move around the Island. Had a minor issue with the buggy which was quickly fixed. A small thing but some basic supplies (e.g salt, pepper, cooking oil) would be helpful. Will be back. Thanks
This house offers fabulous views over the Whitsundays and is conveniently located just up the hill from the main shopping and restaurant street on Hamilton Island. The deck faces west so great sunsets but also strong afternoon sun onto the deck. All bedrooms are on the middle level away from the very spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area. Occasional noise from the co-joined property but nothing too concerning. Nice established gardens. Would stay here again.
