Well presented apartment with laundry facilities and fully equipped kitchen, pool, short walk to ocean and restaurants. We stayed after hiking, so made good use of the space to unpack, wash and sort gear.

We had a great 2 bedroom apartment. The rooms were spacious along with the kitchen and having a separate bathroom to the kids was amazing. The laundry facilities and the gardens and pools are just magical. We just loved our stay here. Thanks

Have come back twice to stay at this gorgeous resort. The wildlife the pool the tropical feel is so incredible. It’s not over the top which lets you enjoy the warmth of your surrounds and experience. It’s family friendly and close to cairns and port Douglas . I will be returning here for many yrs to come . The family units are spacious and comfortable.

Spacious apartment with good facilities. Wasn't the cleaniest on arrival but nothing a quick sweep didn't fix. Resort amenities were a winner - games room a bit of fun and pools were great!
