Visit January 2025

The location of the apartment was ideal with a great view across The Strand to Magnetic Island and access to lots of local attractions, including shops, restaurants, parks and the beach. We were pleasantly surprised with the additional small touches on our arrival - fresh fruit, chocolates, milk and tea/coffee. Our hosts were very quick to respond when the kettle died and immediately organised a replacement. Overall a very comfortable and well serviced apartment.
