Pleasant, chilled vibe with great customer care

I stayed for just 1 night on my way back to Brisbane after a trip to one of the islands. After my one night stay at another place in the area on the way out, my expectations were low but were definitely exceeded. Fantastic views, a clean, spacious room, nice pool, good location and the friendly, helpful hosts made it a fabulous stay - it was just so easy and comfortable. I'd definitely go back, maybe with the family next time.

Absolutely fantastic place

This place is amazing! The view, the location, just a 3/4 min walk away from the strip so you can have the bars at your fingertips, but with the peace and quiet.. The icing on the cake being Dean who couldn’t do enough for you. The guy is like a machine running around keeping the place clean, serviced, tips on where to go and nothing is too much. One of my trips was cancelled he was on it with suggesting another company to try. If the owner reads these reviews u have one gem of a guy working for you. He is also a great guy to sit back and just have a chat with about life in general.

If you are after clean, quiet and affordable accommodation then this is ideal. It is walking distance to the town (steep hill), but far enough away to remain quiet. It has nice views out to the harbour and a pool to cool off in. Check in/out was simple, communication was good. It may not have the glitz and glamour of the big chins, but it doesn't have the price tag of one either.

The check in was super easy, host was very friendly. The room was so clean, which is super important. The view is spectacular, which I could see from my bed, and the pool. A short walk to the town centre, with lots of restaurants, shops, the lagoon and a Woolies and close to the marina to catch the boat to the Great Barrier Reef tour. Check out was also super relaxed and easy.

The apartment was great value. Could not believe it had only 3 stars as it suited us wonderfully. Room was marginally small but it had all the facilities. The place had a good barbecue and a lovely pool. Beautiful location on top of the hill overlooking the marina and Ocean. Would happily choose it again.
