Our whole experience was fantastic! The accommodation was great; overlooking the marina, just a few minutes walk to the main street with restaurants, pubs, shops, & cafes. even our whitsunday islands adventure embarked & disembarked just downstairs. Perfect! Heather on Reception was very friendly and accommodating. An awesome 4 day trip.

This is in such a great location, you can easily walk into town without all the hills but far enough away that it’s nice and quiet! Clean, comfortable and friendly staff. Pool is great and some cafes/restaurants downstairs too. Highly recommend.
